WeaponCollector's Wrist Crossbow - A full working wrist crossbow, also known as a Arm or Forearm Mounted Crossbow, Wrist Bow or Armbow.
Similar to the one used in Mad Max 2 : The Road Warrior, Used by the character Wez.
This is a fully working model, single shot only, shoots standard 6" pistols bolts and the draw weight is 50lbs
This is the Mark 1 Wrist Crossbow, this version features no cocking mechanism and therefore has to be removed to be cocked, I have tried cocking it with my left hand using two fingers and its just too hard.
Mark 2 version (coming soon) will have a cocking mechanism for the left hand meaning the crossbow won't need to be taken off to be cocked.
Version 1 would have had the cocking mechanism, but because the mechanism wasn't on the original designs I drew up I couldn't fit it on to the crossbow.
It has a reasonably light trigger pull and can be fire by either tilting your hand down while holding the handle at the front or by using the back trigger, (the back trigger was designed as a aid to shooting if the trigger pull was very hard, however it is not, so its not really needed).
Accuracy is low due to the fact you can't really aim it, you just point and shoot, you may be able to become proficient at shooting it after a lot of practice though.
Features include double straps to hold it to your arm, aluminium arm guard, double trigger, 50lb prod which is easily removed.
It took about 14hrs to make that was spread across two working days, it is mainly made from wood and aluminium and some screws and was made using very basic tool with the only power tool being a drill.
Dimensions : Length of arm guard - 10.5" , Full length - 13" , Arm guard width - 4.5" , Prod width - 17" , Height - 5.5" , Draw Length is 5".
My Air Gun Collection - I have been collecting Airguns for about 15 years now, my collection of Air Weapons as of now consists of approx 8 Rifles and 10 Pistols, ranging from very cheap SMK pistols to expensive BSA Rifles and HW45 Pistol worth £250 when i bought it.
I have a very old Webley mark 1 Air Pistol that is probably over 30 or 40 years old, It needs new replacement parts now, however i have made some parts for it , but the real thing would be better,
My current hunting rifles are - BSA Lightning .22 (full U.K Limit - 12ft/lbs) and a Webley Stingray Deluxe .22 (full U.K Limit - 12ft/lbs)
What makes the Webley a Deluxe version? - that fact that it has a Walnut stock and has no holes for open sights
I also have a BSA Mercury .22 which must be 20years old itself, I also own a old ASI (ASI is now Gamo) Paratrooper which i think is from the 70's or maybe even older, most of the old Guns were originally my fathers,
My favourite Pistols are either the HW45 or my Crosman 2240, both of which are close to the u.k legal limit (6ft/lbs) For more info on my collection view the video below.
Crossbow VS Nine Water Bottles, For a new video on YouTube I decided to see how a Barnett commando 2 compound Crossbow (150lb draw weight) would perform against water bottles, my personal prediction was that it would go through all of them, i was quite wrong, first I just shot one bottle and the bolt went through no trouble, then i shot the nine bottles together, the bolt went through six bottles and stayed there, I then shot them again and the bolt only went through three or four, but this one was strange, the point on the bolt came off and carried on through 2 more bottles, so that could mean it is the flights that are stopping the bolt going right through, I did originally think it was the water causing a drag effect, but it might not be.
Shooting a on edge playing card in half, I recently made a video for youtube showing myself shooting a playing Card in half down the edge using a .22 Webley Stingray deluxe Air rilfe with 3-9 x 40 Tasco Golden Antler Scope, there was a bit of side wind but after about 15 shots i did it, the distance was 17m, I was also shooting from a rest in a sitting position,
