[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Crossbows are a problem

Posted: 5/2/2009 5:21:16 PM EDT

A crossbow is an ideal substitute weapon for game poachers as well as criminals who,
by being able to easily procure this weapon, could use it in perpetrating robberies,
assaults, drug related crimes, homicides and other crimes.

If I get mugged with a crossbow, the guy is creative, and can have my money.

A little hard to conceal and a little slow on the second shot. But for Oz, it would be cool, like in the Road Warrior.

With the ammo shortage soon we'll be reduced to medieval weapons, grab your swords and crossbows guys, haha. Of course knives are nothing new to criminals, i'm sure they will just stick with that if they can't get a gun instead of opting for the crossbow. However i did see one incident where a crazy wife tried to kill her husband with a bow and arrow, interesting day....

They redid the crossbow on "Weapon Masters". Much faster reload than a normal crossbow.
