Why not dispense with the crossbow and put in a bigger laser?

Soooooo, the laser is to show exactly where the bolt won't be hitting?

He should make one that fires little metal bats.

doglover: No, the deadliest use of a little wrist mounted crossbow like that would be to bludgeon someone with it.

Oh, yeesh, we got ourselves a winner here.

I've heard the term "the best way to kill someone with X is to bludgeon someone with it" as a way to mock a weapon before. It's a common cliche among smug nerds. But this was very, obscenely, retardedly, idiotically stupid.

It's a HAND CROSSBOW you idiot. Look at that dinky aluminum thing mounted to the BACK of his hand. Bludgeon someone. . . how? At least a launched bolt has a one-in-a-million chance of hitting something important. No, I know exactly what you mean -- you don't actually expect to kill someone with it anyway, anyhow. But you're supposed to say it in regards to something that actually has some weight to it, like a jammed rifle or dud grenade. It's not like it's a rule, but that's where the irony's supposed to come from, and it's really not hard to figure out.

So, is that all you came here for? To TRY say the bloody obvious like it makes you look smarter than everyone else, but instead say something so mind-bogglingly stupid that you really didn't do much more than ruin everyone's fun AND look like a stupid asshole?

just in time for Christmas folks!

I suppose you won't be too impressed for me coming here just to claim repeat.

ok i'll be the first to say it - i'm not surprised someone who would tattoo CFH on their arm in a visible location would make a weapon capable of killing/maiming someone. although i seriously doubt it will ever reach usage outside of the internet.

No sharks?

Xaxor: JC will love this.

To hell with your silent takedowns. I'm going in with a GEP Gun.

No. The crossbow was farking useless.

Came here for this, left happy.

Y'all be trippin'

He should get together with this guy and make something awesome.

Not impressed

doglover: he bolts appear to have no problem going right through a soda can

I hate stupid people. I really do.

My fingers can go through a soda can easily. A baseball can't, but tossed by a good throw or some kind of launcher they'd easily do more trauma to a human body than a dinky little bolt.

It's a cute crossbow, it really is. But explaining how it goes through lightbulb glass and soda cans is silly. Tell us how deep it sinks into wood at 30'

You probably aren't impressed with bullets either. I mean, a good enough launcher and a baseball would do more damage than a slug or a rifle round.

And I can't stab my knife directly through a tree, so its pretty worthless too by your measures.


That said, its a nifty little toy, obviously nobody is using arrows or bolts of any kind for serious killing anymore. jfc

ArkAngel: That's gonna be 1d4 damage with a +3 bonus to hit

I think you mean a 1d4 piercing damage with a 19-20/x2 crit rate. And a +1 to hit if it's masterwork.

/you filthy 4th editioners

While indeed that sucked, I like the cut of this kid's jib.

I say we let him advance to the next round, and raise his budget by an order of magnitude.

PiffMan420: Xaxor: JC will love this.

No. The crossbow was farking useless.

Not unless you're insane like me and don't do lethal take-downs until you reach the MJ12 base.

/UNATCO and the NSF aren't the real enemies...

approves.


/old.

doglover: Tell us how deep it sinks into wood at 30'

Came to say this, also for any decent range you need a rangefinder because bolts don`t ignore gravity when they fall with high lateral speed. I`m guessing a 4 foot usable range with the ability to bruise an apple.

Much better to attach a cut down rifle barrel to the forearm, move the firing mechanism to the hand and use it close quarters when things get on top. maybe autofire and autoreload if you hit something, sort of like a ballistic power fist. THAT would be cool and not girly.

Who pissed in your wheaties?

doglover: Smackledorfer: You probably aren't impressed with bullets either.

A bullet that fails or barely shatters a light bulb? No, I'm not even going to dodge one of those.

Real bullets, even .22s, can go through at least one 2x4. So can decent crossbows. My crossbow couldn't, but that's because it only has maybe 70lb test and I have modern target shooting points on the bolts.

Completely missed the bit about it being a motherfarking hobby toy didn't you?

You say that like that isn't the exact purpose of the discussion threads on Fark.
Frankly, the best use of your point is to bludgeon someone with it.

Please post a video of your fingers poking through a can. Please.
