Bolt for crossbow pistol

thingiverse

I couldn't find any crossbow pistol bolts anywhere - they're completely sold out due to the Corona crisis. I'm a last-minute prepper, so I had to take matters into my own hands. INSTRUCTIONS: Print part A and part B, and you'll also need a nail that's 2.75 mm in diameter and 55 mm long. Take a look at the pictures above for an illustration of these instructions. First, grab the nail and cut or grind off the head. Next, apply some superglue to the nail slots on both parts and hold them with the tips pointing up. Let the glue drip down the shafts about halfway before inserting the nail. Press the two parts together firmly, making sure they're flush on the other side. You can use a table or any flat surface for this. Use a rubber band to bind the end with the nail together. Now, hold it pointing down and apply one or two drops of superglue between the parts from what is now the top. If necessary, bend the parts apart slightly so the glue can seep down. Then fix the other side with a rubberband as well. Let it dry for at least half an hour before using. WARNING - THIS IS NOT A TOY!!! CROSSBOWS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS BOLT!!! UNDER 18 ? PLEASE GET PARENTAL SUPERVISION!!! IF THE BOLT GETS DAMAGED, DO NOT USE IT AGAIN!!! DO NOT CHANGE THE SIZE / DIMENSIONS OF THIS MODEL. ONLY PRINT IT AT THE ORIGINAL SIZE (UNLESS YOU ARE A WEAPONS EXPERT AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING - AT YOUR OWN RISK OF COURSE...) CROSSBOWS AND CROSSBOW PISTOLS ARE NOT TOYS. TAKE CARE WHEN USING THEM. YOU WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST PERSON TO NAIL THEIR FOOT TO THE FLOOR WITH ONE. OR WORSE... They are not as strong as the original ones and will probably break after one shot. Sometimes one shot is all you need... I added some custom brims to prevent warping, so you can print them without brim. The brims are designed to come off easily after printing. I also added model files of the parts without brims for those who don't want to use them. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ACCIDENTS, INJURIES OR DEATHS THAT MIGHT RESULT FROM USING THIS BOLT.
