Sorry I don't understand why all of this makes you say "no". And what part of my example are you saying no to?No. See the Sage Advice compendium, which is considered errata and RAW, specifically this question: "Do the first and third benefits of Crossbow Expert turn a hand crossbow into a semiautomatic weapon?"
The answer, shortened to its relevant bits (italics mine): "you can fire it more than once if you have a feature like Extra Attack. You’re still limited, however, by the fact that the weapon has the ammunition property (PH, 146). The latter property requires you to have a bolt to fire from the hand crossbow, and the hand crossbow isn’t going to load itself (unless it’s magical or a gnomish invention). You need to load each bolt into the weapon, and doing so requires a hand."
Edit: okay, all good!
