Crossbow and gun

Mines and corpse explosions (like most things in PoE) use magic. They're not sticking a bunch of gunpowder into the corpse and then igniting it.

Sure, you could make a magical gun -- just make a gun and use a magical explosion instead of gunpowder. But mechanically, how would that be any different than a wand or a bow? Yet again, you might as well take wands and slap pistol MTXes on them, or bows and slap rifle MTXes on them.

Better suggestion for X-bow based on what i've read on this topic.
-------------------
Regular X-bows have higher damage per hit than regular bows but has 3 second cooldown attack.
Repeating X-bows have higher damage per hit as maraketh-like bows but hasn't move speed bonus, instead these X-bows has 3 second cooldown attack and 3 charges, 1 charge used per attack and reloaded by cooldown.
Both Regular and Repeating X-bows belong to bow tag though X-bows requires 65% DEX and 35% INT, making more suitable for rangers and shadows to use X-bows

Interesting idea, introduces a mechanic to differentiate it from bows.

Bonus points for historically-accurate relationship in regards to firing rate between bows and crossbows (the damage difference isn't accurate but required for mechanical balance).
