This discussion seems to have become entrenched.
The fact is people survive wounds from all the weapons we talk about. Just some more than others and I think it is fair to say you have more chance of surviving a pistol crossbow bolt than many firearms. Pistol crossbows would be few people tool of choice for home defence.
However;
It does intimidate.
It is legal in the UK
It can be enhanced legally as well. Broadheads etc.
It can injure or kill.
If it is all you have it is better than nothing.
I have two and 100 bolts.
