Introduction: Nerf Crossbow Idea

By
About: I'm a highschool student from California who enjoys to create things. I like to learn new things and find that so much can be taken from the internet and resources available to us. If it isn't on instructables…

Disclaimer: I haven't done any nerf gun mods before, nor have I used them in the past 3 years. This is just an idea I had while browsing the "Nerf" section of instructables. I also haven't actually built this myself. Any harm that comes to you or those around you from constructing this.

This is simply an idea. My CAD program wasn't working so I had to design using a paintbrush application. Here it is. I have to the best of my ability drawn a crossbow and piston assembly that could be used to create a nerf crossbow. It was inspired by paintball bows which use a similar mechanism. 

I haven't included a trigger assembly because I got fed up with the paint program. Any simple crossbow trigger mechanism would work just fine. 

Further Ideas

A gravity fed or spring loaded clip mounted to the barrel
- Maybe integrated with other nerf gun clips
