 This new and improved version of my original paper crossbow. This is cheaper, lighter, more compact, and is more powerful. This will be the template for my upcoming M1A3 paper crossbow which will be the mass production type crossbow. Please rate

Oh, and one more thing, I've found that thin skewers and similar work best as ammo with a range of around 30 feet. Again, please rate.

Update: The one you saw in the pictures got destroyed because of too much force on the bow so it bent and destroyed it. Please make the necessary modifications.
