Make it for Defense

Excellent craftsmanship! Perhaps the word “Defense” is a bit misleading unless your main attackers are balloons.

@@samsien9105 Yes you're wrong, not enough power, very unlikely to have the accuracy needed to hunt, an ordinary bow, slingshot or air rifle would all be better options, there are full size rifle versions that have more power but the other options would still be better.

Nice craftmanship. But actually more of a zip-gun than a crossbow ;) (I guess it could also be chambered with a shotshell primer. Which would make it more powerful.)

This has probably been pointed out already, but the weapon in the vid meets the ATF definition of a firearm.

Technically it doesn't, it can't take a self contained cartridge. Same reason cap and ball guns and muzzleloaders aren't legally firearms under ATF rules

Excellent work there mate! The only tool I don't have is a pillar drill. I've always wanted one, might get one now.

i love your production quality of the video! Personally id like to see less superglue and a more repairable design. Besides my opinion i adore your content

Superglue comes straight off when heated to about 70 degrees Celsius, sothis is kinda repairable.

[@catman4644]

A couple of serious problems here, first in the U.S. anyway, you can no longer get "strike anywhere" matches which is what's needed as "strike on box" simply won't normally ignite that way and burn too slow if they manage it. Well you can get a version of "strike anywhere" here but what's sold as that type of match (usually as camping or survival items) is little more than a bad joke and they won't work either. The correct "strike anywhere" matches can be sold in the U.S. but D.O.T. regulations now require them to be transported as HAZMAT items making them so expensive they are no longer produced or sold here. Second as a kid growing up in the hills of Kentucky I can attest to the fact that while this gun does work it has at best the power of a BB gun! The correct matches were everywhere back in those days and we were well aware of the explosive nature of the things, we as kids built everything from versions of the gun described to literal pipe cannons loaded with dozens of match heads all discharging at once (yeah we played dangerously but we had fun!). So I know from experience this thing could be used for self defense only by a (VERY!) lucky shot to an assailant's eye! A good air pistol would be more effective so don't fall for the BullS#!t here, this thing is about as effective for self defense as a BB gun and way less accurate!

[@diycrossbow]

[@Claudg2008]

"For defense" against deadly rubber balloons, I guess it is

[@diycrossbow]

[@barryparks8055]

Rather dangerous, hardly defense!. Great craftsmanship!

[@diycrossbow]

[@bettafish541]

I think this is defined as a firearm, it's pretty similar to a blackpowder gun but it looks as powerful as an airsoft gun also adding a slider on top like a handgun has instead of the handle will make it a lot easier to pull it back, it can be done by making it cover the top and push back on the 2 ends of the pull handle, then go back into place with rubber bands (they don't need to be strong, it just needs to slide something that otherwise has no force acting on it while being easy to pull back with the bands still acting on it). this will make your 50 second long reload a little faster

In Australia, if there's even a slight possibility someone might actually use a device to defend themselves from other humans, namely humans with "vested authority," said device is deemed "dangerous to society" and immediately banned.
