Crossbows deal heavy damage. Hard to believe he’s not dead. Must have mithril shirt.
The article said he was shirtless.
Maybe he has an Adamantium Skeleton or Bark Skin.
I was on an operation in Africa in 1984. We were drinking beer in a hotel bar with some Legionnaires. One guy, a Brit, showed me a copy of “Soldier of Fortune” magazine with an advert for some top of the line crossbows. He told me he wanted me to order 30 of them for his platoon. I told him I couldn’t do it because of my delicate position and besides, I didn’t have an arms dealers license. He said he didn’t care and he would see me the following week with the cash. He wanted me to change almost $1000 in CFA (French West African currency). Fortunately, I rotated out of there before our next meeting. Don’t want to get on those boys’ wrong side.
It is only because it was a gut shot.
I bet they never catch the cross-bow guy, they deal damage almost as well as a hand gun but no one ever hears them go off ... which is what usually leads to someone witnessing a shooter and their eventual capture.
Makes me wonder what they were doing driving around with a cross-bow in their front seat to begin with. Hunting?
From what I gather the shooter probably did not have a hunting broadhead installed on the bolt. Otherwise I think the rock thrower would have bled out.
But my knowledge is limited to regular bows and this was back when nobody even used a release(I’m talkin’ 25 years ago).
Depends on the size of the bolt, the size of the crossbow, and the tension configuration. I’ve seen tiny handheld crossbows that couldn’t pierce a chicken thigh, but of course could still kill you if the bolt was poisoned.
Maybe a target bolt not the one with razor blades.
It is tough to find mithril these days. Too many Balrogs in the deep mines.
No, it was an Arrow shirt.
