I don't like crossbows because in the book, Uruk-Hai used longbows, Dwarves used bows of horn, and Gondor longbows. No one used crossbows because they didn't exist in Middle-Earth. JRR Tolkien didn't like technology like that, being a romanticist (someone who prefers the time before the Industrial Revolution and the invention of guns).
