Again, the gaps in logic behind dual xbows are compensated for (in my opinion) by the fact that it adds that extra option for the DH.
That can be used to justify anything. Why not double javelins, then? double spears? double staves? double wands? double throwing knives/axes/etc? Heck, why not just bend over and fire volleys of arrows from a backpack? The point is, the usage and the behaviour of dual crossbows looks bad and very unrealistic, and, as far as I can remember, no other weapon looks unrealistic. So it's not a matter of saying "shut up, it's a game, deal with it", no. If all the other weapons look and work realistically, why should the dual crossbows and the idiotic DH be any different? she's a crap class, anyway.
Why not fire magical claymores out my ass in a jet of assfire!!!

Yes, as a Barbarian may reject his heritage and decide to study the dark arts. Just like Drizzt Do 'Urden, a drow who rejects his heritage and becomes a Ranger of Mielikki, traveling the surface world with Bruenor Battlehammer, Cattibrie, Wulfgar, Regis, and his most trusted astral companion, Guenhwyvar.

I have fired multiple crossbows, no single handed ones as the are very rare to find, and most don't have much of a recoil. There isn't enough resistance from the bolt flying out of the groove shaft to cause such recoil.

For the last time, guns = gunpowder, so therefore guns = one-handed crossbows would mean one-handed crossbows = gunpowder, which doesn't work. So, in conclusion, one-hand crossbows ARE NOT guns. Argue with that logic now, bitches!!

Don't forget that they are imbued with demonic energy. So it's possible that they could move hellishly fast. It's not impractical to dual wield crossbows, just us mere mortals must hide behind some cover and reload every time we fire them.

The crossbows are not guns because of one simple and very important fact. Guns use gunpowder, crossbows don't. End of discussion.
The crossbows aren't even unrealistically small and she isn't firing each individual crossbow at an unrealistic pace either. It's the speed that she moves that makes the fight go so damn fast. And the crossbows could have an auto tension loader that pulls the string back automatically after each shot so all she would have to do is drop a new bolt into place and she would be ready to fire again, and again, and again. She is moving at a fast enough pace that the eye really doesn't catch the movements needed to drop another bolt into the groove, ready to pierce the flesh of a demon. Putting another bolt into the crossbow could be as simple as collecting the bolt(s) from on the thighs or something.
