Probably yeah, haven't heard of any practical testing but reading up on heavy arbalests and other crossbows like it, it seems possible. Those are a little further than the conventional idea of a crossbow which most people imagine though, like how an anti-materiel rifle and an infantry rifle are both rifles, but if you say the word rifle the infantry rifle is the image conjured.
