Pistol Crossbow

[BDG]

Spent a day playing with one of the 50lb ones. It would not penetrate a windscreen at 90 degrees so I would not trust it against skulls or sternums.

Bows take you down through blood loss, firearms through ballistic shock. Unless you have accidentally hit a major blood vessel, you have just made someone angry and given them something point to stab you with.

You also need to think about how dishing hardcore violence is going to effect you. For the vast majority who have never encountered such a thing, you will fluff your first shot badly, pee down your leg and then curl up in a ball waiting to be kicked to death.

You would be better off with a good catapult and some BB's than a pistol xbow for many reason.
