Repeating Shot removes that quality, so yes, presumably it magically does all the things necessary to bring the weapon from "fired" to "ready to fire". JC's answer clarifies the other half of the situation, the Ammunition quality requiring a free hand to reload with. Since you don't need to place an arrow into the hand crossbow, you don't need a free hand. So yes, the weapon is point-and-shoot. | |

Are you stating repeating shot infusion literally make ammunition based ranged weapons fire automatically, just point and shoot? | |
