Don't Cross Me

Testing the CB-150 $10 Crossbow Pistol


It took two burly manly men to string it.  The darts are sharp as hell.  Why it wouldn't penetrate cardboard is beyond me; maybe it needs to hit absolute tip-on.  The ricochet did hurt,  This deal would serve as a useful deterrent, believe me.  Staring down the barrel of this is every bit as intimidating as a pistol.  It's worth $10.

I had one of these. The ends broke after about twenty shots. Therefore, I could never string it up again.

It is very cool, but I'm still looking for one that is decently made for a reasonable price.

Perhaps if placed about an inch from the base of the skull?

No mass = no kinetic energy.

C'est incroyable!

Two things,

1) push the cocking handle back to the front after you draw the bow - It could be causing a reduction in the force but is for sure reducing the life of the string.

2) use a heavier dart

I'd rather have this crossbow. Probably costs a bit more, though.

I have one, definitely, push the cocking bar back in before you fire it, will work WAY better

I've got an older version of that little thing and mine will shoot the nose of the bolt through a half-inch fence board from about 40feet away.

This thing is utter crap. Don't buy it.
