When you recruit allies who use crossbows/bows, can they reload?

Or are they forever stuck to bashing opponents with their weapon once they run out of ammo?

This is why I prefer lashers, if I can find them.  Useful at crowd-control, and unlikely to actually do all the killing.  On the other hand, it makes killing all those near-useless elven bowman easy to slaughter once I realize how bad they are.

Crossbowmen/bowmen should be recruited only at the very closest town to your quest location or they'll waste all their bolts on wolves before they see a single giant.
