Armex Tomcat Pistol X-bow - Not bad

[Wolfiesmith]

I picked one of these up, for the price (£30) it was worth a punt. It's not bad at all, up to 20 yards it's definitely going to smart a bit. I'd be confident of dropping "something" with the right bolts at close range. Light enough to carry everywhere, quick and easy to cock, need to zero it when I've sorted my targetry out but no major dramas, colour me impressed for the price.

Yup got three in my kit for home security, make sure you get the bolts that are all alloy tubing rather than half alloy half plastic cos its easier to modify the all alloy bolts. If you trawl back through the archery section you will find numerous articles refering to pistol crossbows and making em better.

We have two of these, in fact they are the only real self protection we have, my air rifle and large crossbow I purchased for hunting

Wet & colds research into modified 6 inch pistol bolts was quite interesting in tems of accuracy and penetration, dunno if its still in the bow section files.

Thanks, you wouldn't know where I could get those bolts would you? I'll have a look in the bow section and see what I can find.
