Crossbows vs Dual Bowguns

I've seen people referring Dual Bowguns as Dual Crossbows; is this term technically correct?

They're both bows mounted on a stick but with different firing mechanisms; dual bowguns by shooting arrows as if they're guns while for crossbows, you pull the string back with your arrow(s) single-handedly at a slower pace.

Not to have the intention of class wars of course but do you MMs and Mercedes associate yourselves as being the same or different (not by obvious standards like "obviously the classes are different in their skills" or "obviously both classes are archers" )? Do you consider Mercedes to be a crossbowman?

Actually if you look closer to the Dual Bowguns, you'll notice they are guns with two "wings" on the side of the gun.[/quote]

For the technical stance, those "wings" would be part of the bow that's mounted onto the stick. Crossbows also have "wings" on each side of the stick as well.

Ha ha... Interesting, but I would have to say Mercedes are not crossbowmen. One class uses a single crossbow, the other uses 2 "bow" guns. The damage multiplier and play style is also completely different, so no... Mercs are Mercs.
