apparently dual-wielding hand crossbows is one of the least well-defined areas of DnD 5e and its practicality is hotly debated, which will absolutely not keep me from dual-wielding hand crossbows

@noiob if they're arcane crossbows with a reloading mechanism sure, otherwise bollocks are you using two crossbows. Artificers can give a weapon automatic reloading (and magical ammo that never runs out) though, so you should be all good!

re: DnD 

@Murkrow no, this is about plain old hand-loaded crossbows, with Crossbow Expert. From looking at forums it's quite unclear if it's viable to dual wield two hand crossbows (if only for extra dmg in the first round, dropping one afterwards) or a crossbow and a dagger (Crossbow Expert lets you shoot with a bonus action)

re: DnD 

@Murkrow worst case I'll hold one crossbow and have a backup one holstered as a suprise
