Semi-Automatic Crossbow

thingiverse

I was a little underwhelmed with the miniature weapon selection on the site, so I spent a couple of hours working on this new design. Load the magazine up to ten shots, and it will fire one after another in rapid succession. Tips for using this mini-weapon: Assemble it with computer hard drive screws (those smaller threaded ones you're familiar with). Holes are spaced 10mm apart, making it easy to create additional attachments or modifications. I'm surprised I have to explain how to use it, but here's the proper procedure: 1. Pinch your fingers around the firing pin. 2. Pull the pin back quickly to allow only a single pellet to enter the chamber. Don't pull it too slowly, or you might end up with a jammed weapon or loose pellets. 3. For maximum power, pull the pin as far back as you can without letting the pellet fall out of the chamber. It's surprising how many people get this wrong!
