As for crossbows, didn't the Uruk-hai use crossbows? I mean, in Europe, someone tried to get them banned for being inhumane because it required little skill to use and was very powerful. Sounds like something the Uruk-hai would use to me. They took a long time to load and fire, but I doubt it mattered to them.
