Very Good I Modded it very rapidly and its is more bigger longer and bullet is changed to have a red conneter on the end to make it more realistic,
also i have mended it so more rubberband's can be added.

good crossbow. have a cookie

Nov 16, 2010. 12:22 AMAusGuitarist says:

the only thing wrong with this crossbow is that if you use enough elastic bands and make it strong enough without to much that makes the grew long bits snap is that the actualy neck could brake so iv made a modded version hope u like it havent started a structional for it yet tho so heres a pic. sorry about the pic on its side

i have done a similar modification and found out that more than 3 rubber bands with bend and snap the gray rods so i modified on with a scope, iron sights, and ended up with longer bow and better handle

My sidearm looks like yours, but mine is much smaller, and of course simpler, but it has a VERY RELIABLE MAG that does NOT jam. Do you need pics? or not? (Oh yes extreme builder told me that it must fire larger ammo, so I am modding it now)
