Pistol Crossbow

[NorthernRaider]

It bloody well hurt him BAD, thats my point you silly man, just as a bolt or arrow will not always KILL an opponant nor does a rifle or pistol round EITHER. A crossbow bolt to the head DOES do serious harm THAT is the point if it had hit him in the eye or throat the damage would have been worse.

Firing a pistol crossbow at indoor ranges up to 10 yards is nearly as useful a a 22lr from a pistol and probably better than a 22 short.

SD look at the X ray images it looks very much like a standard 6/12 inch bolt and the photo of the bow shows a pretty standard but mangey 80 lb draw Mk 1 Cobra.

As for big compound bows the DM recently showed a big fat porker unning around a field with THREE full size bolds sticking out of its chest, SIZE isnt everything, Luck and Marksmanship help enormously.

Montblanc you appaling manners are truly your hallmark.

BTW when I was soldiering and we were still fighting in Ulster there was plenty of documented cases of both sides shooting each other with both AKs, ARs and SLRs and the targets survived, dont get into the Hollywood bullshit American attitude that a gun will always stop the bad guy because it wont.
