no go mate, classed as a fire arm and totally illegal.

I know where to get some, but I'm not fancying it if it's "that" illegal.

That legal red spray looks pretty shit in comparison though.

[watchesandwhisky]

Just tried to string it, well that was a fail.

To say it's hard is an understatement!!!!

I'll have another go tomorrow. Can't find mention of this technique you speak of, I need to do it on my own.

 

 

could try putting the hand grip on your leg, put the sting on one side of the crossbow arm and place that under your armpit so you can use your sholder to pull it down, and use your hands to do the rest. But yup tough isnt it! great when its working though.

I'm constantly underestimating things like this, thinking I'm rock hard.

Was wrestling with it for 20 minutes and didn't even get close lol.

It would be a piece of piss with two people, but I'm wanting to keep it under wraps.

"Just walk away"

 

No riots in Scotland when it all kicked off.  I'm relatively remote in the North Highlands, there is no shortage of deer or water in a shtf scenario.  Everyone knows eachother in some way so little chance of it going all Mad Max.  I've got a good bit of tinned food stashed, just to be safe.

 

Wouldn't fancy being in Birmingham or London, I understand why you take this quite seriously.

Thanks Simon, it's nice to know others understand how vulnerable us "townies" could be if things went very wrong.

In the riots a couple of years ago, police cars were incinerated, shots fired (not by police), numerous shops raided etc etc.

That was over one bloke being shot in London.

As others said, if the power goes out or the water goes off, it's game on.

I don't want to be a big man, I just want to protect my family and my home.

Whilst it's highly unlikely to happen, criminals will pick on the weakest first. With my preparation, I'll be in the top 1% (most have nothing to retaliate with) and as such, I'm improving my chances.

You might need something like this to go with the swords.

Remember that Kevlar is meant to degrade over time so check the date of manufacture.

bung a couple of these lifestraws in your supplies, at 20 quid a pop they're well worth it imo

Fair call CD, I have seen those before.

I'm arming first, onto the survival / food stuff next.

I'm dying to buy an old 40ft shipping container and bury it in the back garden, but the wife won't let me. Ugh.

Lol.  Your own Batcave   I went whisky and belguim beer first, then food, then silver.  Priorities.

 

I am thinking about making a wee faraday cage with a laptop, solar charger and hard drives full of documentaries and movies.  Chronal mass ejection that would wipe out the grid is inevitable but it could be tommorow or it could be hundreds of years.

[watchesandwhisky]

^^^ yep that one is certainly one to watch for, had the 1859 carrington event happened now there would be a complete breakdown.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859

 

Michio Kaku, an extremely smart guy from the "universe" series has been practically begging the US government for funds..

 

"The Most Likely Armageddon Threat … Preventable for a Small Amount of Money

Well-known physicist Michio Kaku and other members of the American Physical Society asked Congress to appropriate $100 million to harden the country’s electrical grid against solar flares.  As shown below, such an event is actually the most likely Armageddon-type event faced by humanity.

Congress refused.

Kaku explains that a solar flare like the one that hit the U.S. in 1859 would – in the current era of nuclear power and electric refrigeration – cause widespread destruction and chaos.

Not only could such a flare bring on hundreds of Fukushima-type accidents, but it could well cause food riots globally.

Kaku explains that relief came in for people hit by disasters like Katrina or Sandy from the “outside”. But a large solar flare could knock out a lot of the power nationwide. So – as people’s food spoils due to lack of refrigeration – emergency workers from other areas would be too preoccupied with their own local crisis to help. There would, in short, be no “cavalry” to the rescue in much of the country.

In fact, NASA scientists are predicting that a solar storm will knock out most of the electrical power grid in many countries worldwide, perhaps for months."

Well, I don't know what the problem was yesterday but I got it done in about 30 seconds this morning.

It's pretty bloody powerful isn't it!!!!

Glad to hear that mate, it is! shocked me when I first fired it, I think accuracy at range is its only issue but close range at the price and practicality is pretty much impossible to beat.

[zmurrro]

I got the same crossbow few months ago! I was very surprised at how strong it is at 80lbs....I can only imagine what kind of damage could those huge 200+ lbs ones do...

 

for the Money I like it a lot and I find it very accurate for the short distance I usually shoot .... have not tried any further distance though...hmmm, if it is sunny tomorrow....

[Danny-boy]

Let us know how you get on buddy.

[Danny-boy]

Just bought a laser sight for my tomcat, the stock sight is pretty rubbish.

Only a cheap one but should do the job.

Also ordered some more bolts, couldn't bring myself to get the plastic ones so got another 60 of the aluminium ones.

[watchesandwhisky]

I have a browning compound bow for sale if anyones interested:)  if you need a bit more range:P

Got any more detail on this mate?

I'd like to see it.

[watchesandwhisky]

Here she is, This was a boot fair bargain, But its a proper bit of kit that's worth much more than i paid for it. I have to consider postage will also be £20 so I dont know if a trade for silver is viable but its for sale/trade.  Have not shot it yet, but pulled back the string, it feels totally badass lol.

[Danny-boy]

MH, can you drop me a PM with roughly what you are looking for it?

Cheers pal

[watchesandwhisky]

I dont know what im looking for it mate thats the problem lol, but sure thing
