Would Arm Mounted Crossbows Work In Real Life

Here are my thoughts on arm and wrist mounted crossbows, featuring Mad Max, Berserk, and Assassin's Creed.

Assassin's Creed Phantom Blade:
The Phantom Blade is a modification to the Hidden Blade which consists of a miniaturized crossbow attached to the gauntlet. Pioneered and utilized by the French Brotherhood of Assassins, the projectile mechanism complements the Hidden Blade by providing the user with the ability to assassinate at range.

Berserk repeater crossbow:
The Repeater Crossbow (連射式ボウガン, Rensha-shiki bōgan?) is a deadly weapon created by Godot and adjusted by Rickert for Guts.
Appearance
The repeater crossbow is a hand-cranked crossbow with an open-topped box-feed which is filled with crossbow bolts. As a person cranks the mechanism, the gears puts the bolt and the bow in place before firing.
Abilities
Easy to mount on Guts' mechanical arm, it shoots a volley of arrows from a large magazine mounted vertically on top of the crossbow by simply turning a crank. The weapon reveals its usefulness when Guts has to face a large number of enemies, especially human soldiers or hordes of monsters.
Rickert perfected the crossbow during the short stay of Guts at Godot's mountain hut shortly before he left for Albion's temple, decreasing its bulk and adding a new magazine with a collapsible bellows.
Guts uses the repeater crossbow extensively until he acquires the Berserker Armor.
A crossbow is a ranged weapon using an elastic launching device consisting of a bow-like assembly called a prod, mounted horizontally on a main frame called a tiller, which is hand-held in a similar fashion to the stock of a long firearm. Crossbows shoot arrow-like projectiles called bolts or quarrels. A person who shoots crossbow is called a crossbowman or an arbalist (after the arbalest, a European crossbow variant used during the 12th century).
