The Chinese used the Cho-ko-nu with success being a repeating bow they were not very powerful, but they added a little poison to the tips and fired them in masses at people trying to scale the walls. You aint gonna take down a deer with it, nor would it drop a person in their tracks. 80lbs might get you 20ys with some degree of penetration. So an expensive, quality pistol crossbow is not something your likely to see soon.Ī friend has one I looked it over, cheap yes, but the little bolts did come out the end with some degree of accuracy.
google search it ,they were used in bosnian conflict for assasination.their is a pic of defence secretary shooting one if you google,good luck.Īny of the pistol crossbows I have seen are pretty much sold as novelties, just not a big market for pistol crossbows for any serious use. slightly away from face as triggers are stiff and you loose accuracey when its pulled due to the weight trigger takes to release.best rifle crossbow for ease of use is barnetts commando 1.reliable easy to action not a magnum power but over 250 fps with a 13.5 inch bolt. fps im not sure but very fast up to 120ft.abs bolts last longer.i have tried most pistol types too.the latest cobras are better in the sense you dont wear strings on the brass action unit.but are now plastic sides for the action to slide back in to,however the decks are alloy of plastic dependant.best practice on holding like a riffle. for the size and price you wont get a more powerful pistol bow.these can be tuned easily to improve action ,string wear and speed.barnett international designed them but were built in asia.i have shot mine over nearly 300 yards.
they produce both plastic and alloy framed models.the self cocking type are best in alloy. These cobra pistol bows ,i have a few early models.
