Home made pistol crossbow part 2 – prods made from shovel not PVC, good for survival

I have seen people making a crossbow from bamboo but living in the city, it’s easier to find old shovel and PVC, so I decided to use an old shovel not PVC as limb or prods of my new home made pistol crossbow. In the next video I will also upload another video about how to make Homemade pistol crossbow bolts but for the time being, not with broadhead. I like testing whether they are safe to use but not for sale.

In this video I also show how I made crossbow trigger mechanism which was working great. Since the shovel is not very thick, I can’t achieve an 80lb draw weight but I have made it easy to upgrade the limbs. I build it to last so no hot glue is used in this project.

This is not a self cocking pistol crossbow I but I am satisfied with it anyway because although it is smaller this new pistol crossbow has better power-to-size ratio and much better handling making it ideal for target shooting or hunting small game, and can be a very useful survival pistol crossbow though might not be as good as some cheap pistol crossbow sold on amazon or ebay.

I have also watched people make a pistol crossbow opted primarily for an easy to disassemble design with reduced size and weight for better handling and concealability as well as storage with inspiration from the pistol crossbow design from the movie punisher: war zone. I am also interested in making repeating pistol crossbow with 5 bolt magazine or with steel ball, and I ll make one in the future when I have time.
