Reloading a crossbow typically took about 30 seconds to a minute, depending on the design and the user's skill. This process involved drawing back the string, securing the bolt or quarrel, and ensuring the mechanism was ready to fire. More advanced crossbows or those with assistive mechanisms could reduce this time. Overall, reloading speed varied with practice and the specific type of crossbow used.

Yes, they used both pistols and rifles. The pistols were flint lock and took some time to reload, also they had something much like a sixshooter. The rifles wich were also flint lock were almost as long as the shooter himself and took a long time to reload this is why many soldiers preferred a crossbow.
30-40 seconds for a skilled soldier.
