The C3.3 Lethal Armor-Piercing Lego Crossbow

The C3.3 Lethal Armor-Piercing Lego Crossbow
This is the third (and last) mod of the C3 Crossbow, and is by far the most powerful I've ever made. This crossbow shoots sharpened knex bolts, or pencils, at high speeds. The crossbow can fire 60+ feet, and has 9 rubberbands tied together in 3 sets of 3. This crossbow is very powerful, and could kill someone if fired at close range (I'm not exaggerating).

Pros:

-Very Powerful (60+ feet)
-Very Strong (Can Penetrate Cardboard, CDs, Cans, Ballistics Gel)
-Fairly Accurate
-Fires Pencils or Knex rods
-Good Sight
-No Recoil
-2 Handholds
-Durable

Cons:

-Fairly long reload (4 seconds)
-Fairly heavy (2 pounds)

eh if it can shoot pensils why you then use knex and so it can then also fire homemade rounds found in the woods after 5 arrows or so you mastered that and then you have free rounds and don't have to use knex but this is freaking cool it starts my urge to find my lego XD realy good done

Well, for pencils and pens, you have to add some paper padding or stuff on the back end to make the ammo wider. #64 rubber bands tend to fly over regular pencils. Also, K'Nex pieces seem lighter.

You know the C3.3 crossbow would be way better if you incorporated the C4's quick relode part on the C3.3 just imagine launching 5 lethal arrows/bolts so quickly!
