So, me and a friend set up a camp and collected some weapons for different purposes and we want to have a crossbow for hunting. However, as it is not very effective as protection against other players, we don't want to be carrying it around all the time, which is why we would like to store it in a tent. As it turns out though, the crossbow doesn't fit in anywhere, it's too wide (long).
I don't know whether this is a design choice or a bug, but it doesn't make any sense to me not being able to fit a crossbow into a tent that can store long rifles like the Mosin.
