Self Cocking Pistol Crossbow: Avenger’s Hawkeye Inspired


00:00:00what’s up its Greek edgy guru here with

00:00:03a self cocking pistol crossbow I just

00:00:05got this in the mail a few days ago then

00:00:07playing around with it and uh this is

00:00:10literally the best $30

00:00:12I’ve spent a long time 30 bucks free

00:00:16shipping on Amazon don’t look at any

00:00:18other site they’re going to rip you off

00:00:19I originally bought this on a web site

00:00:22they’re selling it for 40 with $15

00:00:25shipping so I got 12 extra arm bolts and

00:00:32the bow itself for less than just the

00:00:37price of the bow that they were selling

00:00:39on this other website so Amazon the but

00:00:42use your best bet if you’re interested

00:00:44it comes with three arrows not that

00:00:47great but a 12 pack of metal tip era’s

00:00:51are I think like six dollars really

00:00:54reasonable and I had a old crossbow that

00:00:58was piece of shit it was a 15 pound

00:01:01crossbow this is an 80 pound crossbow

00:01:04and they ran off these plastic tips

00:01:07which are surprisingly more durable than

00:01:09the metal ones because when it hits a

00:01:11target it tends to bend and absorb the

00:01:14impact whereas these just warp and you

00:01:19know break so if you’re going to buy one

00:01:23of these you might as well get a set of

00:01:26these plastic ones so that you can have

00:01:29some target practice and you have to

00:01:30worry about wasting the more expensive

00:01:33ones so self caulking the way it works

00:01:37you have this button right here it’s a

00:01:41little switch you grab it from the front

00:01:43and you just pull back so now it

00:01:48automatically goes into safety mode so

00:01:50if I pull the trigger I have to press it

00:01:53forward to actually shoot it I’m not

00:01:55going to dry fire it and I will show you

00:01:57how it shoots this is going to be my

00:02:01target which is a pretty thick piece of

00:02:04cardboard it’s 12 sheets step 12 pieces

00:02:08thick and it pierces through this like

00:02:11butter

00:02:13actually it will go through it will push

00:02:17the target backwards I’m going to leave

00:02:19a little bit of room so that you can see

00:02:21how much recoil it takes to the target

00:02:24and of course I am shooting this

00:02:26point-blank so you’re going to see a

00:02:29more dramatic effect when you put the

00:02:32bolt in make sure you don’t go any

00:02:34farther than this arch right here this

00:02:36bend because what will happen is the

00:02:40bowstring will just completely skip the

00:02:42arrow because a real ugly noise and it

00:02:44actually can damage your bow so for a

00:02:49shot safety off alright so that went

00:02:57completely through and through oh shoot

00:03:02obvious completely through I’m not just

00:03:08shooting a different area it’s starting

00:03:10to get weakened but that went through

00:03:13and of course into my wall you can see

00:03:18back there and I’ll show you another one

00:03:27nice thing about these bolts is this

00:03:33screws off and that gives me a lot of

00:03:36capabilities for different ammunition

00:03:38types for example I’m depo these are ten

00:03:4530-second screws I just put some teflon

00:03:51tape to fill in the extra that’s what it

00:03:54would look like and I’ll just unscrew it

00:03:57for you to show so it screws in there

00:04:02nice and snug this is like a ramming

00:04:05area for our blunt tip area just for

00:04:09target practice and whatnot so I’ll

00:04:11shoot one of those just to show you

00:04:18other modifications I might do I’m

00:04:20probably going to do like a repeating

00:04:22crossbow type of mod so I don’t have to

00:04:24load them individually maybe a better

00:04:27grip so I don’t have to hold it from the

00:04:28front and fire okay so that one didn’t

00:04:39go completely through didn’t expect it

00:04:41to because of the tip and it’s lodged in

00:04:45there of course so I don’t know I’m

00:04:50going to get that out but you guys

00:04:53understand how it works it’s better for

00:04:58impact versus penetration and last one

00:05:04is a flat head screw same deal thing

00:05:09that I like about this is gives me a

00:05:11surface to attach a cap or a shotgun

00:05:14primer or something something along the

00:05:17lines it gives me a surface to actually

00:05:19adhere something so I can make a new

00:05:22type of ammo and this will be a

00:05:27demonstration of that type of arrow

00:05:36alright so I honestly don’t know where

00:05:40that shot I think it was right there so

00:05:46yeah right about there so you can tell

00:05:50these don’t go and as far as the regular

00:05:53arrow tips and last I’ll show you the

00:05:57plastic arrow type if you guys have any

00:06:02other ideas for types of ammo we have a

00:06:05comment below that way when I’m building

00:06:09these I have your ideas in mind that I

00:06:11can try and give you guys what you want

00:06:14so okay

00:06:23so same deal one right through I mean I

00:06:29couldn’t stab through this if I tried I

00:06:32could maybe sit here for like five

00:06:35minutes and wiggle my way through all 12

00:06:39layers but there’s no way I could just

00:06:41pierce right through so you can tell

00:06:46there’s a lot of power 80

00:06:47it says 80 pound crossbow on the website

00:06:51doesn’t say it on the box so I don’t

00:06:53know where they’re getting their

00:06:55information from but it seems pretty

00:06:58accurate I’ll shoot one more just to

00:07:07show you guys because it’s fun just get

00:07:11that one too there it is again

00:07:19so it only stopped because the arrow tip

00:07:22arrow wings are too wide so you can

00:07:33understand the point yeah so another

00:07:37look nice grip doesn’t feel cheap at all

00:07:42I mean it is made in China but

00:07:46everything works the way it should

00:07:49usually from Chinese items whenever

00:07:53they’re casted out of the mold of the

00:07:55metal you’ll see little burrs and things

00:07:58sharp edges and everything from what I

00:08:01can tell is really well rounded and the

00:08:05only thing I could say is maybe this

00:08:06grip is a little flimsy but other than

00:08:11that nice adjustable it actually adjusts

00:08:16it’s not just for show this right here

00:08:20will go up and down

00:08:27and then this will also change here from

00:08:32left to right so pretty well made

00:08:37product for 30 bucks so like I said post

00:08:42comments below of what you want to see

00:08:44type of ammo types and also check out my
