Cross bows were a main stay weapon of the medievel era as well as axes. They were more expensive then bows but took less time to train and were easier to use inside castle walls. Its mainly why they were used by guards instead of on the field and why you never see them in movies or in history books of battles.
Bow or crossbow for force projection (ranged attacks). Grab a rapier from the renaissance exhibits (or a sabre from somewhere) for when you get a chance to close. Using an axe effectively would have it buried in wall or door jamb; rapiers are relatively short stabbing weapons (the swing front and back); sabres allow for the ability to cut when thrusting or drawing while still allowing for stabs.
Historical projectile weapons were best used as fire then close if you don’t have an army, a lot of distance to your opponent, or a defensive feature that keeps your opponent from attacking.
That guard is about as helpful as a hula hoop on a high wire…
yea
youd get an AXE from the medieval collection not a crossbow.

Also because they took a HELL of a lot more time to reload.
