Repeating crossbow slingshot - Homemade

Another war games weapon, the quickshot was designed for maximum rate of fire and minimum weight in a neat package. It took around 5 hours to construct with basic hand tools and was designed on the fly. While it lacks power and accuracy, it is great for getting lots of rounds out rapidly. A cheap, easy and fun project for you to make at home!

Keep in mind, this is more of a novelty and proof of concept than an actual weapon, however it may have potential in the future to be upscaled to something larger and more powerful

@Kyleengineers

You'd be surprised. I can throw softballs within a 2x2 meter area from about 50 meters. I doubt your crossbow A even reaches that far and B you don't seem to be able to hold it steady.

cool

wow...great make....

[NeoWelshRevival]

Great make, will steal this idea lol, going to play with it though, might add a H for increased elastic tension, will make the pull harder, and an ultimatly slower weapon but I will be happy to trade that for the extra power I think, well thats my Sunday planned.

@Kyleengineers I think he could actually just walk towards you, i dont think your going to do much damage unless you hut the sac or eyes

[mikeMusic00]

Looks good man

[Kyleengineers]

@Spartan117A1 Oh yeah, i played with a pile of KMnO4 and a syringe of Glycerin one time, seems pretty short for a fuse though... Although i guess if youre shooting it into the air you dont really want that long a fuse

[Spartan117A1]

@Kyleengineers Yeah, That's the basic idea :)

A useful "fuse" that i use for grenades is chemical ignition, KMnO4+Glycerin.
