Crossbows As Home Defence Tool

[Inqlabi]

Is crossbow a good option for home defense ?

I want to know their price and availability in ur contries specially in UK where gun laws are very strict compare to US.

Do our Akharas still teach Archery ?

Its better than nothing. They are not too expensive. Pistol cross bows you can pick up for £30 and will cause some nasty injuries. Proper crossbows you can pick up for £100 and the really good ones are for £400-600. All of them, including, cheap pistol crossbows can cause serious injuries and all of them can potentially kill.

Problem with them is that they are single shot, and take a bit of time to reload.

Other things to consider are air guns. Some of these are semi automatic and automatic, taking away the long time loading problem. These too can cause some horrible injuries and probably even kill if you hit the eyes, penetrate the brain or throat.

Remember with archery you can potentially cause yourself damage to your intercostal muscles if you're not fit or you're muscles aren't warmed up properly.

Not such problem with one of these machine guns...

Fires a million rounds per second.

Just be careful which way you point it.

Crossbows are great in Uncharted 2. Possibly on par with the Desert Eagle and the RPG for effectiveness. One shot, one kill. :lol2:
