Pistol Crossbow

[Midnitemo]

i wouldn't advocate one but if you're determined not to / or precluded from a firearm then its definately better than nothing and i agree defending a passageway/staircase is probably the best use of a pistol crossbow at no more than 10 to 15ft.

the problem with the 5.56 round in the early stages of its introduction were that the round was to light(55grn) and travelling at such speed(Approx 3500+ fps) it was just punching knitting needle size holes in the victim and passing straigt through,if it missed all the vitals then the victim was sometimes able to remain a threat, there were also instances of this in the Falklands conflict as some special cadres such as the SAS / SBS and marine mountain and arctic warfare detachments were using 5.56 weapons , the problem was solved mostly by slowing the round slightly and increasing the size and shape of the bullet so that it tumbled on impact, meant to wound as much as kill as a wounded opponent uses resources on the battlefield
