Pistol Crossbow

[Geordie_Rob]

this one just wont die lol....there appears to be two camps, the bowmen and the shooters , i would use one if it was all i had to hand and i did consider getting a couple til i got to fire two of my friends , they didn't inspire me , 4 shots and the string(don't know the technical term)was nearly wrecked the bolts were very flimsy and light , the trigger was almost certainly the worst trigger i've ever pulled(and i've fired some pretty woefull archaic black powder boomers in my time) and the build quality!!!!!!! i thought it may be an option for the non shooters in my party but sadly not for me and mine...if i do go down that road it will be a crossbow not a pistol crossbow....broadheads are what you need.

I had 1 a few years back & agree they're bloody awful to shoot. But if someone was wanting to cause me harm I'd rather shoot 1 of those then follow up with something else than not & just go straight for the fist fight - I'd probably lose that.

I guess the ultimate answer is don't put all your eggs in 1 basket & rely on only 1 thing. Everything will have their use in the correct situation.
