150lb Draw Weight Crossbow vs 9 bottles of water

Visit my Blog - http://weaponcollector.blogspot.com/2010/04/crossbow-vs-nine-water-bottles.html

How far will it penetrate - I found this video to be very interesting and suprising at the same time, the result were Not what i expected.

The Crossbow is a Barnett Commando 2 compound crossbow that is 150lb draw weight with a 4 x 32 scope.

At 04:34 the tip of the bolt actually makes it into the 7th bottle but the bolt stopped at the 5th, i found it in the bottle afteer the video.

hm. i thought a crossbow could do more than that...

tough bottles...

[WeaponCollector]

@Downarrow2 , it might have been the gaps, check out the video responses.

[Downarrow2]

@WeaponCollector: yeah. same thing with bullets 'n' spaced targets, although the effect is way stronger with the projectile coming apart + sharing their momentum with debris. i've seen bolts go through several feet of body tissue / bones ...so i was kinda disappointed:)

[WeaponCollector]

@Downarrow2 , i know what you mean, this crossbow will go through an inch of wood but not many bottles of water, the crossbow itself is 150lb draw - which is reasonably strong - so maybe its the bolts or bolt tips, and possibly the water? who knows, intereting results though.

[AlexChambers2008]

Don't you need to have a licence to own a crossbow?

[WeaponCollector]

@AlexChambers2008 No, you don't need to have a licence to own a crossbow.

[AnubisMeso]

HAHA slow motion and it still looks like it just appears their out of nowhere

[TheBazFella]

Nice one Mike, great shooting and a great vid as usual. Notice you used bottles of water and not beer or cider mate lol ;)

[dragonwalls]

can't u count went into 6 not 4

[omega3litre]

Brilliant mate I live in the midlands and wanting to go rabbiting and the like with a crossbow rather than my rifle can you recommend any good ones

[SirSmok3Alot225]

anyone ever heard of or used a Cobra 180lb Crossbow?? I found it on Amazon for a great deal and took the leap. It hasn't been shipped yet so I'd like to hear any opinions on it

[ja2595]

bottle #7: "oh my god! did you see that?!"

[MegaDhproductions]

How is it you can own all these weapons and still live in the U.K.? You must have to fill out a shitload of paperwork for licenses.

[supermotardmario]

@WeaponCollector i just bought some on ebay, i tought is was 25 dollars for a package of 6 arrows and 6 broadheads.

[tiago26rs]

hello to crossbow is very strong even I had a seeing his videos and I have used the same trigger problem that you did was put mto hard, have some other system trigger to make it more sensitive to a 180 pounds?

[njrobinson95]

@AlexChambers2008 No, at least not in the U.S. You can even just buy them online.

[DrJLo08]

Nice ! If you want more penetration trim down or remove the feathers alltogether. I wouldn't waste a broadhead on some bottles. Too many pesky feral hogs here in Texas for all that !

[theguywith1face]

@WeaponCollector

Nice one mate.

I got some off ebay fairly cheap and you can get basic ones at a few bushcraft shops online in UK.

Wish we could get the variance of the American market for broadheads! Not as much call for 'em here I guess.

Did carbon-fibre bolts make a difference in your opinion?

Like your vids!

Also Mike.

[WeaponCollector]

@theguywith1face , If I can get some broad heads I'll do ALL the tests again.

Mike.

[theguywith1face]

Same test with broadheads? Then after that, same test with broad heads and more bottles!

[theheadshot45]

@kresistable Yes, call of duty is fun and all but this is a serious weapon, let's leave cod out of it, m'kay?

[hazzzee]

ever considered explosives, guaranteed to knock them all down , prob empty the yard as well

[kresistable]

FMJ unlocke

[drupi73]

@davantlag2000 and I thought Holland was bad ;-))

[ComicManultimate]

dear santa....

[YellingSilently]

last bottle stillstanding is loosing nothing through the end hole directly. its all going back to the first standing bottle and then going out from there. Awesome.

[WeaponCollector]

@RG7621 Alright mate, sadly this crossbow is discontinued now, i bought it about 7 years ago and i'm not sure if people still sell them, try Barnett's website to see what they sell now, they may still do version like this or similar.

Mike.
