Just because the sounds equal out to the same amount of shots/minute, I had did a personal test with normal attacks with no SA/booster and using an Fire Arund and a Casa Crow. The difference in the arrows i had left after 1 minute (timed on my cellphones stop watch) that there was no room for them to even be close to the same fire rate.
Now, if this was done with strafe, it needs to be noted, as many say that with strafe there is no firing difference, that it is the same shot/minute. Also said, is that the point in the animation at which the arrow fires from the bow and the xbow is different.
optimisim aside :O i really do like the way you planned to settle this debate
That sound test is a hell of a lot better than your reaction time. Reaction time + unintentional bias can throw off your results by as much as 3-4 shots.
Also, Strafe, Double Shot, Normal Arrows, Arrow Blow, Arrow Bomb, Inferno, Blizzard, and possibly Iron Arrow (needs confirming, since I didn't use it much when I was playing a friend's Sniper) all shoot at the same speed.
Russt, they gave us more fast bows in the beginning. I guess they forgot to continue the trend, or decided bows had advantages elsewhere to make up for the power loss.
