Wrist Mounted Crossbow Toy (Reupload)

This is a reupload of my "Wrist Mounted Pen Cartridge Crossbow" since the original page now leads to a 404 error. Demonstration Video https://youtu.be/WCbPmSmUZQA I originally designed this as a summer project but it came out better than I had expected so I decided to share it. This wrist mounted repeating crossbow fires empty pen cartridges from Pilot G2 and Frixon pens. Printable ammo types are also included however only the blunt ones will be available on Thingiverse in order to follow their community guidelines. They don't work as well as the pen cartridges but they do the job. Just make sure to print them horizontally so they don't break. It has a magazine capable of holding up to 5 rounds and a drawstring puller to aid in cocking it. It's not super powerful so you can use it indoors if you are cautious. I have personally shot my hand point blank with the BLUNT ammo and was completely fine. Don't do this if you use anything with a pointed tip. You will also need a few different pieces of hardware to assemble the crossbow. M4 screws, washers, springs, string, and something to use as straps such as Velcro. The full list of parts needed as well as a step by step assembly guide and troubleshooting advice are all located in the READ ME file. Be responsible and have fun.
