You can't have 5, unless you're under influence of some spell... In fact, the max in AD&D is 4,5 I think. Adhrael said it just right: this number indicates the number of attacks per ROUND. There's also a Speed-factor to each weapon. This factor indicates at which time in a certain round the weapon attacks. Example: a dart has a speedfactor of 1. This means that this is the first weapon to attack in a certain round. A crossbow may have speedfactor 10 (I'm not sure), so it attacks later in a round. This doesn't nescesarraly mean it is a slower-fireing weapon.
If I'm not clear enough, please tell me so
