Confirmed.

But in the current version it's known that crossbows are broken with regard to being "two-handed", so any buckler/shield with crossbows may be a waste of time.

In theory, they're lighter, and crossbows and a full load of metal bolts are VERY heavy.  But the diff in weight is less than 5% of a total load-out, weapons and armor, not much diff overall.

Go with shields.

I think buckler is a only "shield" type equip crossbow-dwarf can carry (I've seen them equip one, but not shield).

Erm, my question was never answered: How do I actually... You know, get them to put on armour?

Getting them to equip -specific- items is a different story.

Oh, now I get it. The bits at the far right of the screen.
