The Crossbow Expert feat does allow one to attack with one hand crossbow twice (Thanks since you only need to make an attack with a one-handed weapon. The feat doesn't get around the reloading factor on its own, you would need to handwave that aspect for your player's build to work. This means you can fire the second one when you attack with the first. When you use the Attack action and attack with a one handed weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a hand crossbow you are holding. There is a feat in the Player's Handbook you could offer your player (usually in place of an ability score increase at the relevant levels) that would allow a bonus action attack with the other crossbow. When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you’re holding in the other hand. The only other way to gain extra attacks is via Two-Weapon Fighting (in the Combat section of the Player's Handbook or Basic Rules) which requires a melee weapon: The Attack action only allows for one weapon attack unless you have a specific feature that changes this. If you handwave this, and let the player load it with the hand occupied by a crossbow, it still doesn't quite work.

The consequence of this is that you need a free hand to even attack with the hand crossbow.
(Although I doubt most DMs will disallow pre-loading a crossbow).ĭrawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack The Ammunition property says that loading is part of the attack so it is unclear whether you could even get off that first double attack. You may not even be able to do it the first turn (see below). This is not sustainable as after the first turn you have to put away one crossbow to load the other.
This means you would have to put one crossbow away every turn to load the other. Loading a one-handed weapon requires a free hand The Players Handbook errata has clarified as part of the Ammunition property: Not sustainably, since you have to reload
