Bolt for crossbow pistol

thingiverse

I couldn't find any crossbow pistol bolts. Sold out, everywhere... Corona crisis. Last-minute preppers... I'm one of them ;-) INSTRUCTIONS: Print part A and part B. You also need a nail of 2,75 mm diameter and 55 mm length. Browse the pictures above to illustrate these instructions. First take the nail and cut/saw/grind the head off. Apply some superglue into the nail slots, both parts. Hold the parts with the tip pointing up. Let the glue drip down the shafts a bit, about halfway down. Then insert the nail. Press the two parts together, making sure they are flush on the other side. By pressing them down onto a table for instance. Be quick. ;-) Use a rubber band to bind the end with the nail together. Now hold it pointing down. Put one or two drops of superglue between the parts from (what is now) the top. Maybe you need to bend the parts apart a bit to let the glue seep down. Then fix the other side with a rubberband as well. Leave to dry for at least half an hour before using. WARNING - THIS IS NOT A TOY !!!!!! CROSSBOWS ARE POTENTIALLY LETHAL, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS BOLT !!!! UNDER 18 ? PARENTAL SUPERVISION, PLEASE !!!! IF THE BOLT GETS DAMAGED, DO NOT USE IT AGAIN !!!!! DO NOT CHANGE THE SIZE / DIMENSIONS OF THIS MODEL. ONLY PRINT IT AT THE ORIGINAL SIZE (UNLESS YOU ARE A WEAPONS EXPERT AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING - AT YOUR OWN RISK OF COURSE...) CROSSBOWS AND CROSSBOW PISTOLS ARE NOT TOYS. TAKE CARE WHEN USING THEM. YOU WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TO NAIL HIS FOOT TO THE FLOOR WITH ONE. OR WORSE... They are not as strong as the original ones. Will probably break after one shot. Sometimes one shot is all you need... I added some custom brims to prevent warping. So you can print them without brim. The brims are designed to come off easily after printing. I also added model files of the parts without brims, for those of you who don't want to use them. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ACCIDENTS, INJURIES OR DEATHS THAT MIGHT RESULT FROM USING THIS BOLT. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. AND BE CAREFUL !!
