Repeating crossbow Larp

Repeating crossbow which I built (some years ago) for Larp.
It is fast and hits good.
I built it most to see if it could be done !
The biggest problem by using it, is that it is too good and are boring to use!!!!
It's been years since I switched from shooting with crossbow to only shoot with a bow,
Today, I am convinced that you can shoot faster and better with a bow

My hommade repeating crossbow
(pump-action)

I built the crossbows for use in role play,
(so it made for bolts with large buffer heads,)
but it can also be used with ordinary bolts.
Bow pressure is 30 pounds, which is max at LARP games

Starting point was an old crossbow as my father once built a long time ago, after drawings from popular mechanics

After some experiments !
I ended up having built virtually all parts differently
from the starting point.

The Crossbow are purposely built almost entirely of wood.
it would be easier to build it in iron
since it would then be more exactly,

there are 2 bolts holders:
one to 4 bolts and one for 10 bolts

To build a crossbow!
Several people have tried to build copies of this crossbow
most have not succeeded !
I have no drawings or photos!
But it is not necessary it is based on Trigger System
http://www.vintageprojects.com/archery/cross-bow-plans.html
with rotary magazine so there is room to buffer bolts.

I have built 5 kinds of crossbows all with a different principle, with different functions, for example one to use with one hand.
So there is no direction, it can be done in many ways
It is basically just a matter of good workmanship, drawings and photos will not help if you do not have the necessary skills.

if I build it today I'd build it completely different.

A clasisk box magazine can not very well keep bolts with large "buffer" heads

The Crossbow are designed to work while I run, the bolts must be exactly in place, it is also a little difficult with a box magazine.

It is an old vidio clips I randomly stumbled over.

When I get time I'll make a better video of my crossbow

How'd you make this dude? Where can I get one?

[fudgepie1]

I don't think I have ever seen anything like it. I would love to build one for myself but from the video It is impossible to figure it out. Please consider makig the plans available because this is one item that any people would appreciate.

Where can I find a repeating crossbow like this ?! I need one :-)

[Stompy1984]

Like other people said as well, is there any chance you could be making a video where you can see how the mechanism works?

Would seriously built this (and shake some 'X-bows suck' believers) and use it!

Just... Wow! I was looking on how to make a larp crossbow but yours is epic. Like, you are a genious! hehe x)

[Sutorenja]

I WANT THIS!

Upload a how-to guide plz!?

Rate of fire is nice, but I suppose aiming is better than shooting at random angles just because you can...

@Angusyoung145 Live Action Role Play. think of an rpg video game, but you're doing it in real life with padded weapons.
