Introduction: Xenon Crossbow
About: Nuthin' much.
Intro:
This crossbow is a great gun mainly because it's shoots far and has a jam-free mag. The magazine is built into the gun but is fitted with a system that allows you to reload it without taking the mag pusher out. It holds five bullets being grey connecters. Its uses a slingshot system that launches the bullet out the barrel at enough speed to sting anything five metres away. I named it the Xenon Crossbow because its a crossbow, and xenon is a mad name. Its also the first of a series named after the noble gases except helium cause it does end with eon and words that end with eon sound awesome. And if anyone tries to copy that Idea then i'll be like "hey man, you copied my idea!?". And if that was someone else's idea that I copied then i'll be like "soz". Anyways, if you mod it and put a stock or scope on or anything like that, send us a pic. Thanks. Krypton Sniper Rifle coming soon, ultra awesome trigger system, shoots very far.

This mod uses te minimum amount of barrel which not only saves peices but allows for alot more rubber bands. It also makes it lighter, smaller and gives it more strength. It also looks freakin' awesome! I strongly recomend you make this version and use it for Knex wars.
Enjoy!
