Some of them seem pretty cool, but some of the descriptions confuse me. The one that raises the most questions so far is the Armbow.

Functions as a +2 Repeating Light Crossbow that magically replaces its ammo. Does this mean that it must still be cocked with two hands? Does it still take an exotic weapon proficiency to use? Does it still take a full round to replace the case?

If so, why even get it?

"An armbow magically loads and fires with a thought, as
a standard action. The weapon automatically creates bolts
to keep its ammunition case filled."

The Armbow lists its own mechanics for loading and ammo, as above. This would override the usual "5 shot clip" mechanic for a repeating light crossbow. There is nothing special listed with regards to proficiency however.

The reasons to use it would be almost infinite ammo, load and fire as a standard action(mental, so no 2nd hand needed), and almost free aligned bolts(3hp)
