It would make since if you could, it's just how tight the bowstring is on the weapon. Now, lets say you have a +2 crossbow, mighty +3. And then you have the "Quickloading" enhancement placed on it. Once a fighter hits level 16, would he be able to fire a four round burst from his +2 mighty+3 light crossbow, each bolt able to inflict 1d8+3 damage? If so, what keeps a person from getting a +5 mighty+X (where x is whatever possible strength a character could have) and end up firing four bolts from the said cross bow with each bolt inflicting 1d8+(5+x) damage. Someone stop me before I turn my crossbow into a submachine gun. :cool:
