      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 😅

    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!

    • @lornelorne5727
      @lornelorne5727 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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..

  • @dustyfilmsgaming1983
    @dustyfilmsgaming1983 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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.

  • @starcraft2own
    @starcraft2own 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
