Why do crossbows sound retarded?

1) The sounds for bolts are the most stupid sounding things ever. This mod here will change it so bolts use the same sounds as normal arrows. Is that 100% accurate? No. But it's 100% less annoying.

2) The sound of the crossbow itself is kind of crappy. To fix that install this mod: Ultra Realistic Crossbow Sound by tomolyons

Enjoy using your crossbow in close quarter combat without a tinny chink chink chink in your ear all the @#$%ing time.
