Strong as a brick? I think not. You need to beef it up to at least 5 if not 6 layers to be able to use a decent amount of bands. I made a layer crossbow that shot real arrows, straight into my bedroom window, unfortunately... >.>
Have u made it??
Of course not, I used to make similarly weak designs myself. I don't need to build it.
If u havent built it then how do u know if it is strong or not??
Past experiences.
Anyway, the point is that I need ideas to make an even better one........
One idea would be to use a thick bow, so it does not bend or snap off, thus allowing for more elastics/bands which equals more range and power. And another idea would to have the gun atleast 5 layers thick, and a well designed barrel such as the SR-V2's design or the Siprianis's design. And use the trigger system off the SR-V2, it allows for the most power. Those are just my ideas.
*PS: It really needs a handle.
A link would be nice to the SR-V2 and Siprianis plz
This is the SR-V2, and this is the Sipriani V3.
Thanks for the advice, i have designed a new trigger mec. that is better than the other. i'll send pic soon
