"And if we wanna talk about psychological effects, how about how demoralizing it is to fight against an enemy who is literally using crossbows in the 19th-20th century."

I honestly fail to see how this is demoralizing in any way. It reeks far more of desperation than confidence or skill, and would likely be demoralizing to the Boxer Rebels. They're stuck using a crossbow while their foe has a bigass pistol that shoots rifle rounds and doubles as a goddamn flamethrower.

"The Boxers have seen more scary weapons and unlike cavemen and ancient people have seen weapons that cause fires."

This is actual bullshit; no amount of seeing "weapons that can cause fire" really prepares someone psychologically for actually being attacked by one. In the World Wars, flamethrowers were used as much for psychological effect as for deadly effect; death by fire is not a particularly fun experience.
