Any man will experience a storm of emotions when looking at a crossbow. Excitement and delight - this is what representatives of the stronger sex feel from contemplation. Often fans of this type of weapon are interested in what type is the most powerful?
The modern market offers many models of crossbows. When purchasing, it is important to understand how they differ.
Main characteristics
Pistol crossbows are loaded with darts, harpoons and balls.
Dart crossbows help develop marksmanship skills. They are lightweight and compact.
Crossbows with harpoons are more suitable for hunters and fishermen. They are characterized by accuracy and high firing speed. Such crossbows are made of heavy-duty materials and equipped with a steel bowstring.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of crossbow pistols are undeniable:
- convenience and ease of use;
- compactness, making it easier to transport and carry weapons;
- versatility - can be loaded with various types of arrows.
Unfortunately, there are also disadvantages. This is primarily low power compared to other types of crossbow weapons. Such crossbows can only shoot over short distances. You can only hunt small animals with their help.
Varieties
All pistol crossbows can be divided into two types:
- block;
- recursive.
The recurve crossbow has been known since ancient times and is considered a classic version of self-propelled weapons.
Block is a more complex variety. There are blocks on his shoulders, and a bowstring is laid through them.
If we compare both types, the recursive one has the following advantages:
- a light weight;
- ease of learning;
- there is no need to adjust shooting accuracy;
- If the bowstring breaks, it can be easily replaced without stopping the hunting process.
Block models have the following advantages:
- high degree of maneuverability;
- long service life of the trigger mechanism;
- easier to pull by hand;
- higher boom speed.
Both types of weapons have their advantages. To decide which is the best and most powerful pistol crossbow, it is worth trying both of them in action. Both block and recursive types have gained their fans around the world.

What does the price depend on?
When choosing a weapon, many do not understand the existing price range.
The price of a crossbow pistol is determined by:
- brand;
- materials;
- design;
- comfort of use.
Chinese models are inexpensive. But they are also made of unreliable plastic. Soon after the start of use, the bowstring may break. The bolts will fly far. In general, it is unlikely that a shooting enthusiast will enjoy using this type of weapon.
When buying a crossbow pistol, you should focus on:
- tension force;
- size;
- shoulder and body material.
If you need high-precision shooting, you need a body made of durable but lightweight materials, and the bowstring must be made of the highest quality thread materials.
Is it possible to make it yourself?
Shooting enthusiasts often wonder: is it possible to create the most powerful pistol-type crossbow with your own hands? Of course you can. The main thing is to find drawings on specialized sites.
Crossbow arms are made of wood, fiberglass or metal. The stock requires high precision in processing and manufacturing; the arrow will be inserted into it. The trigger mechanism must respond exactly when needed. These are the main points to keep in mind when making your own weapons.
Pistol-type crossbows have much less power than relatively classic screw crossbows. Pistol crossbows are lighter in weight, and the sighting range of pistol crossbows is short. Crossbow-type pistols are often used for hunting. They are quite light, no more than 2 kg, and can be held with one hand when shooting. The body length of a pistol crossbow rarely reaches a length greater than 5° cm. Special, shortened arrows are used for pistol crossbows. The Osoyed crossbow pistol is very popular among crossbow shooting enthusiasts. The multifunctional pistol crossbow Osoyed shoots metal balls and darts. You can buy a pistol-type crossbow Osoyed in our online weapons store.

Notes:
- The basis of the mod is a vanilla skeleton. Based on my files, you can transfer changes in the position of the weapon to any skeleton in nifskope. Or use the extended skeleton with its pros and cons.
- If someone is ready to write a comment like “but I would have done something better like this or that...” - let him do it himself.
