ohhh, so it's just the same as Minecraft's? It's also slow?
@pvzgamerlegisniana6492 can you recommend a small reloading crossbow?
There is a longer to load bow
Good Evening 🌇 Nate.
❤Is there one for a woman 4'11".😂😂😂😢😢I sure hope so. That's an awesome bow.❤👌😉
You've got Joerg Sprave to thank.
Take a look at his multishot bow, the Legolas
Yes, he is the slingshot and mutli shot cross godfather and legend
want that one lolol.....
Imagine Him Saying Hahaha Mighty German Engineering
@@donnaduhamel6004search for the EK Archery Whipshot. He did a collaboration with them and made the system available, but with a modern compound bow.
There is a step up from the cobra as well shoots further with more power and you can still but a magazine on top
The problem is, while the crossbow is quiet, when you yell: "Let me show you its features!" you will alert the enemy. 🤣
Underrated comment 🤣
Followed by a hefty German laugh
🤣🤣🤣 💯💯💯
If those enemies don't immediately flee, they deserve what's coming.
If the enemy hears that, they'd run away anyway, so it's fine
Fun fact: crossbows aren't super quiet. I'm sure some are, and they're definitely quieter than a gun, but every crossbow I've shot or seen shot has had a crack audible for hundreds of feet.
Good to know👍
There's a thing bow hunters use called bow silencers. Basically giant koosh balls you put on the string.
@1337penguinman a whiskerbiscuit. Makes it super quiet. Disc of polymer bristles that the fletchings pass through to dampen vibration of the bolt/arrow. A really good surpressed bolt action rifle with subsonic ammo is still pretty though if you do it right. Running wet with replacable rubber baffles and a condom on top.
yup
yeah. My 170 lbs draw crossbow is way louder than my compound bow. Bowstring is thicker than it too and in any type of situation where I have to fight zombies with only a bow or a crossbow I'd take a bow (as long as it's not a long bow lol) any multi target situation and you're screwed. Plus I don't know why but I can hit targets better with the bow just guessing than I can with my crossbow and the trigger is also pretty fucking heavy so I pull shots all the time. Dont usually use a release with my compound but I have one that can be set to a hair trigger. First time I got my crossbow I had to get brand new bolts cause it was bending the hardened aluminum to the point the bolt was ruined in the first shot. Bolts are harder to replace too, no way I could get my crossbow to shoot handmade bolts more than once, it's not fancy and just looks like a recurve so I cant lower the draw weight. Love my crossbow and keep it at my bedside since I dobt have a gun but if anyone breaks in I'm shooting the crossbow once and then switching to my compound 😅

They actually pan away because there's no poundage to his crossbow. When he fires, the bolt literally just bloops out to the ground. lol That said, yes, crossbows take a second to reload.
Yeah most crossbows take awhile if youre not super strong.
There are mechanical crossbows out there that are super easy to reload though. High quality ones like that and youre dropping a fortune. Like 4k.

That's who invented this 😂 he partnered with a manufacturer. He's actually got a whole line of innovative products, not sure exactly how many because he's always making new ones but there's probably at least 10 now.
@@SnibbleJust make sure to put a giant extended release"No Homo" over it and you'll be all good to go, Brother.
They aren’t arrows. They’re bolts. But yes, crossbows are often take a while to reload. Some even models require you to crank a handle to reset the string.
This was one of the disadvantages of crossbows that made the longbow so effective at Agincourt and Crecy.

When my shotgun runs out, I’ll just switch to the Glock instead. Better rate of fire, easier to reload, bigger magazine, more deadly, y’know the works👍
@@Berserker3624 They make automatic machine gun shotguns, :D you can even buy explosive rounds, napalm rounds, etc.. etc..
You'd be surprised how versatile a shottie is.
Repeating crossbows are fantastic. But just for your information they've evolved a lot since this model. There's a new and improved V2 magazine for that EK Archery Adder you have there, there's also the Steambow Stinger 2, the EK Archery Vlad, and various 3D printable models with interesting features like double stacked magazines for holding more ammo. There's the upcoming Mei Interceptor which will evolve it further with interchangeable magazines and superior accuracy. Then you have the repeating bows (as opposed to crossbows) which have their own pros and cons. The market has really evolved!
I'm over here just thinking medieval era Chu Ko Nu. Lol
@@joshuamaxwell8376 same but for short bow and arrow.
i mean seriously i am not a big man but i regularly (most days) throw arrows all day and often enough (again every day atm) in volleys of three.
The problem is that this system of reloading means that the poundage will be a lot lower than a crank style reset system allows.
You can actually still have a repeating crossbow with the crank style cocking - Joerg Sprave has one on his channel. But you're right about the lever cocking ones. They are still very deadly however, even with a reduced poundage. Ultimately, the poundage is a trade-off, where you choose between fire rate or power, and what's best depends on the range you're using the weapon at.
Reminds me of the Chu-ko-nu repeating crossbow from 4th Century BC. It might be a good design to memorize since it seems somewhat simple to reproduce. Or not, I don't do much crafting LOL But, a fast-firing weapon like that with a 'magazine' being used in ancient times always seemed kind of neat to me.
It's main problem was it's low draw weight.
let me find out you play civ
Was going to say that too, if you want to cut down on many enemies at once and you have a large group as well, those crossbows are lethal. The drawback is the accuracy and range... better thing I saw was the german crank crossbow. Similar style to a lever, but uses less force to reload. Takes just a bit longer.
Chu-ko-nu's were useless against huskarls with 10 pierce armor
Van Helsing's crossbow: *Pathetic*
Some say every time you reload you can hear a low, booming laugh and "Let me show you its features!" in the wind.
I'm going for a ruger 10/22 or similar rifle. Extremely plentiful ammo and with good aim can harvest anything from squirrel to deer
Yes, .22lr is plentiful but it's not reloadable, I'd go with something like .223/5.56, it's also a common round with the added benefit of being reloadable.
One of those new pcp air rifles and a stirrup pump, mould to make unlimited ammo from lead! If it can drop a pig it can ruin anyone’s day!
I have a ruger 10/22 as my bugoutbag rifle. I've had ot for 15 years now as my go too survival rifle. I upgraded mine a bit, but it's such a reliable rifle. So much ammo for the weight.
A .22 with 1000 rounds that can fit in your pocket will outlast a crossbow with 10 bolts. Those bolts will get broken/lost and the crossbow itself will get wear/tear more than the simple rifle.
Regular compound bow works pretty well too.
Shooting crossbow is easier than shooting a bow - to shot a bow and hit it actually takes a lot of skill and practice - so in comparison using crossbow is way easier.
crossbow is less cumbersome for use in more than one hour.
The siege is twice as powerful. You gotta give it to Joerge.
The adder now has a 18 arrow magazine available, but I recommend the 300 siege, it is a compound crossbow, quite more powerful and has a 7 arrow magazine
"Switching to your secondary is faster than reloading"
I watched it evolve on Joerg Spraves channel, amazing inventor.
I liked his early videos that focused on handmade and customized slingshots and wrist rockets.
Would be a good skill to have knowledge of for small game.
@@natureboy6410 That's what I liked, his garage plywood creations :-)
@@OldNavajoTricks exactly, a useful skill that even a poor man can use and be proud of to boot! 🤗
Joerg is a legendary genius imo. I also watched the evolution and I was amazed at even step asking the way.
In a survival situation what you want is the knowledge to make a selfbow from whatever materials are available.
Definitely a good skill, that just comes years later after your preps are gone and you're hopefully alive from the mass exodus of city trash
@@kuiperdasniper I disagree... it is the skill and will to live that will enable you to survive. Those of us who prep by being skilled will end up taking your supplies from you...
Got one from gogun months ago. Haven’t even assembled it yet. But they were great to deal with. A part was broken when I opened it and I emailed them right away. They had a new part and a few extras shipped to me right away.
I have this crossbow and it's epic! One bit of f advice I'd give is when cocking the bow don't point it up and whilst cocking because gravity and the friction of the string sliding across the bolt's causes bolt's to skip over the string and get jammed in the string release.
I like this crossbow, looks very practical.
My opinion reloads great, but another point of crossbow is repair as well, so if it breaks or has heaps of intricate parts, it gonna get worse. So, in my opinion, the only thing a crossbow needs would be a speed reload no mag
That method of cocking reduces the poundage behind the shot. Also, a crossbow you can pull without a windlass and just using your two hands is not slow. With practice you can accurately shoot one 10 times in a minute
Meanwhile Joerg Sprave says “Hold my stein of beer.” and pulls out his 50 shot cordless drill powered self loading from a magazine dart gun, made of ply wood, and nails yer ass to a wall with all 50 darts before this self loading cross bow has got it’s second shot off.
He also invented a reloading crossbow. Or three. Dude is absolutely iconic.
recently disabled guy here... I SO want this now...TY Boss
Even in the medieval/renaissance period crossbows used to have reloading levers (not integrated like this one but working pretty much the same way) for lower poundages, for higher pudages ones they used a winge mechanism
You have no idea how fast I’d be putting my order in if I thought it would have the smallest chance of actually being delivered to me.
Damn that sucks where do you live at.

I remember doing this as a kid to catch turkey and other wild game. Works very well. I like using spiderwire. Much more smaller in diameter, more flexible, zero stretch so the hook sets instantly and damn near strong as steel.🙃
There is also a magazine fed compound bow you might want to look into and there are several variations of both the bow and crossbow.

@@MasterOfTheWeirdingWay the repeating adder is a little over 2k
It's not that much. I bought the seige for like 800$

@@ROOSTER333idk where u found it but one Amazon it’s 375 usd
I got the Stinger II and I love it. I also have the AirJavelin (which you can reload pretty quickly, but it requires some co2 and it makes a bit of noise when firing. Nothing compared to the sound of a gunshot tho, but it still might draw some extra walkers).
If you are in a country where even crossbows are hard to get, buy a 3d printer, learn how to print with a PETG filament, buy the bows and strings separately, and buy and download the files for the Adderini and print whichever variant you like.
My 3d printed crossbow has an 80lbs draw weight, 7 inch power stroke, and has a magazine capacity of 10 bolts. I use broadheads so they are perfectly doable as a main self defense weapon. Anecdotally, I have used it and put a home intruder in ICU on account I shot two bolts in their celiac plexus.
I've seen some done with aluminum castings, which is pretty inexpensive. I don't know the exact channel on TH-cam. Too bad we live in a world where in some places even a pocket knife is considered a weapon and everyone carrying one a criminal.
Yes! Someone from the north shows its features. 😂
Germany is in the north too 😂
I feel really bad for you in a defensive situation
If shtf Americans would just walk into Canada and take their stuff.
That thing is freakin awesome.... wish we could get them here in Oz
you can, if you have some connections...
I just bought one. I've been mulling over it for a while but pulled the trigger on it. I'll do a review on my channel when it gets here.
You all know what's up, that man is a legend for making that rig and we all love him for it. 🎉
You know something’s cool when its name has a whopping TWO types of snakes in it
Impressive indeed.
Daryl could have killed more zombies with this crossbow.
You could also get some 3D printed shotgun caps (the ones that are usually brass) then make paper shells (just got to wax the paper) for break action shotguns. If you use an offset design you can use 22 nail gun blanks found at hardware stores as primers.
Black powder is super easy to make or you can harvest powder (and maybe projectiles) from other rounds using pliers.
I think about 20 normal design and 20 offset design caps would be plenty paired with a break action 12 gauge shotgun. Then preferably a 22 hand gun and a cross bow like the one you have would be the ideal set up.
Yes you have a good chance at retrieving cross bow ammo but wouldn’t be too hard to make shotgun ammo either. And 22 is along for the ride because its the cheapest most common ammo you’re going to find.
If you got a single shot 22 or a revolver and kinda treat it like a ball and cap you can use 22 nail gun blanks and 22 pellets and hit 2000+ fps. It’s not ideal but definitely can be done. Just adding more Utility to the 22 option.
A tip as well: crossbows throw at a slight arc. When you loose the bolt. It will pop up slightly. This depends on your crossbow of course.
They made lever action crossbows 💀
Fun fact: lever action crossbows have existed since at least the 4th century BC

Canadians being preppers will never not be wild
Crossbows are clunky to reload at first but once you get the technique they can be reloaded quite quickly.. It's the same with any type of bow but your soon able to shoot accurately with multiple arrows in your hand ready to go!!
Its also a good idea to stay within yiur draw weight, if you struggle to draw the bow then drop the draw weight to something more manageable..
Oh, the guy who designed is absolutely hysterical. I love watching him and he will make prototypes of plywood and 2 by 4
I recommend the cross bow. You can make ammo out of nature you can do the same for a gun but not as fast and efficient and readily available. Plus break into a gem or crystal shop and grab the obsidian should be enough for at least 60 arrow heads.
Look into aea .30 cal. You can get some great shots and it shoots slugs. Can use a high pressure hand pump once your out of air so unlimited air and slugs are cheap. I forgot it was a real weapon and would bust through boards in my backyard. Great back pack gun
Fun fact repeating crossbows were actually invented between 1400-1500 however they were much bigger back than and hard to use, also took forever to reload these were essentially the mediviel version of a heavy mounted machine gun
I've got the 7 shot extended mag, best crossbow I've ever shot. It's so fun! You should pick one up from gogun since they designed it, they've got branches in America the UK and Europe.
It's great they say it's slow right before showing someone doing it as fast as a shotgun pump.
The solution to a slow reload is to reduce your technological level.
Bows(specifically non-compound) can be fired at blinding speeds if you’re good with them(see Larz Anderson for examples of what a pro can do) the major downside is the amount of training required to use one effectively. The bow went out of style in the medieval age because of how long it took to train to get good at, not because of a lack of power or effectiveness.
The thing about self reloading crossbows, or magazine fed is that you have to seriously lower their poundage to make it work properly. It's the difference between using one hand to using your whole bodystrenght to pull back the string.
To allow your one hand to essentially match your whole body strength, you need to make the entire crossbow lighter which decrease it's strength by shocking amounts. So against zombies, i most certainly would NOT want a repeating crossbow but i wouldn't want one so powerful you'd need to use a winch either. So darylls crossbow is most certainly the optimal one for the task.
3 shots 175lb compound crossbow hand loaded on 15-20 meters target scope 3x9 Visier 1 shot reloaded in 6.43 seconds complete time of 3 shots was 19.52 seconds
More like it's not cinematic to observe the process of reloading a crossbow and the added stress on the film crew to record the actor reloading the crossbow every time it's fired. Crossbows aren't necessarily too difficult to reload (I've seen homemade guns that need to be dissembled on the spot to reload).
So, it's more of a no-brainer choice to make filming & editing easier and not an aversion to crossbow reloading.
Let's not forget that the standard magazine on the Cobra Adder is 5 arrows and won't accept the longer hunting tip two bladed arrow tips that make the arrows longer and not fit the standard 5 shot magazine, BUT there is the new and improved 18 shot magazine that accepts the hunting two blade tips and fits right on the Cobra Adder crossbow!!!😊😊😊
One thing that people also don’t mention in videos like this is there are systems to make reloading a lot faster. You can get built in systems that you just literally wind it real quick and it will cock the crossbow and throw you throw your boat right in it and it’s all good to go.
Congratulations, you discovered the Cho Ko Nu, a repeating crossbow from almost 2,000 years ago.
I think ancient china was the one who first invented it right?
corrent@@markvincentrufo127
Crossbow, carbine, hatchet, knife, ammo. Best kit setup. Weapons and tools, quiet and quick controlled fire, medium and longer distance + CQC, combat and survival.
I have one where the shoulder rest can be pressed downward to load it. Pretty cheap one but compaired to using your foot its a nice added.
Fun fact about arrows. Almost every arrow u shoot will not be reusable. They usually get destroyed or heavily damaged upon impact. Especially on impact with bone or other hard impacts. Granted u can reuse them again and again while target shooting. But in hunting or self defense I won’t get many used out of them.
I have had the adder since it came out. Love it works great even my friends with guns think it's so cool.
I was about to comment about a suppressed .300 blk but then I saw Canada, heck even guys in the UK could rock that
Thanks for showing me it's features.
It's also low draw weight. All semi auto crossbows are, which wouldn't be such a weakness if they didn't also use lighter arrows than bows.
Which is why bows are also good they each have pros and cons but the benefit of a bow is you can make a rudimentary bow out of sticks and plant fiber
Well there is different kinds of crossbows.
Smaller hunting ones, can be reloaded on horse back.
Bigger ones need you to put it down and pull the string by hand
Then you have even bigger, with a pulley system.
Then ballistas.
But yeah i used that 5 shot crossbow once and damn it slaps.
Lanceheads designs might work better. Furthermore slingshots, combined with a bison like magazine and lever acrion rechamber... And you have a ball breaing crossbow death dispenser
I think combinding an crossbow with an M16 gun where u have an option of bullets and arrows grinade gun torch Lazer sight scope compass
Well, his is a compound cross bow, on which you can adjust the draw weight to whatever you want really, and also notice in the show he never shoots through the heads of the zombies, and if he had that bow at a heavy draw weight the arrow would blow right through the head, so it makes sense that he possibly lower the draw weight to make it much easier to reload.
Well it depends on the crossbow and also repeating crossbows isnt a new thing you do sacrifice draw strength for the repeating action you can also get a crossbow with less poundage so it doesn't take aslong
I just watch video about that. it has version 2 already. mag take 14 or 18 arrows now. and it has few new more thing.
This principle is ancient. The chinese used something similar against mongols on their great wall. Because it lacked power they used poisoned bolts and only used it feom defensive positions.
They are accurate at close range but at midle and long range are not the most accurate but there is also the velocity of the arrows and you must calculate how much degrees you lift because arrows unlike bullets are way slower so they will lose speed and height so an scope is almost an necessity if you ever use one
Ya im sticking with my Mathew’s v3x 29 with 473 grain arrow 20 FOC I bet u don’t know what that is shooting ruffly 271 and I’m good to 80yards I’m still practicing at 90 but I’m getting there but I take down deer at 25 to 30 if I’m pushing it like if I see a big buck then I’ll shoot at 30 squirrels I take at 15 yards to 10 yards turkey ill shoot at 20 yards and my target I’ll shoot at 80 yards just in case if fizzy hits the fizz have a good day.
Arrows are reusable a few times maximum. Because they brake, they get chipped, they get worn out etc.
"When the shizzy hits the fizzy" got me LOL 😂
Da Vinci came up with the original design. It's easier to cock, but you're not gonna get the same performance as a full-sized crossbow. That long reload is required to store the energy needed to take down targets larger than small game.
As a Brit this is the best we get. I’ve got two. One for my wife and one for myself. They’re brilliant
Reminds me of the Crossbow from Bioshock.
That one had a ratchet type mechanism on too that you pushed forward and then back to restring the bow for the next shot
My Grandpa had one. He was a more of bow guy. Doesn't really like guns because of the noise. Anyway when he first tried it, he was like a young boy again shouting "Wowee that's awesome". He definitely not let anyone touch it. He even called it Mary after my grandmother who is still alive so it pisses her off quite often.
I'm planing on buying one but I don't think they have a very high draw strength so wouldn't be useful for hunting and I'm not sure if it would be good for self defence. However Joerg Sprave did wonderful work creating it.
Still surprised there isn't a semi auto crossbow. Electric motors and lithium ion batteries are so small now that you could easily have it work. I'd also have a double stack magazine and fletching that is deployable by air resistance so it wouldn't interfere with feeding.
It’s always faster to pull out your crossbow when your than to reload or reload your secondary or
If you want speed and reusable ammunition in any disaster scenario just use a comboned bow.
That self-reloading crossbow🤌
Mind blown!!!!! "The shizzy hits the fizzy".
You have to remember that the extra parts and extra complication is just more to break in a survival situation. His crossbow may be cumbersome, but it's simple and easy to maintain.
Yes crossbows are slow to reload and hard, you have to be strong. They are accurate and powerful though, a compound bow is great - even fewer parts
Best marketing I've seen "shizzy hits the fizzy" 😂
When the shizzy hits the fizzy 😂😂😂😂
I didn't know such a thing existed that's a neat little engineering feat.
