Knex Longbow SR-L V2

This was meant to be a sniper rifle, but I added arms, and everyone wanted me to call it a crossbow.

Anyway, it is a sniper bow now, and its the biggest knex project I have ever built in terms of part count.

PROS (a * means its an improvement over v1)

- true trigger
- very powerful
- good range (50-70 feet)*
- very accurate
- has a sight*
- better stock*
- has a collapsible bipod
- faster load time than v1 (5 seconds for v2, compared to ten seconds for v1)*
- NEVER jams
- is much more sturdier*

CONS

- out of all my knex projects, this uses the most parts. (but im sure this isnt a problem for every other knexer out there)
- misfires when shot at a straight angle (catches on the connectors). It can shoot right when pointed downwards, so it should be used for sniping off high balconies or ledges

stock- bartboy
Bipod- KillerK

Anyway, I would use this along with My AR-4 v2 in a knex war.

If you like it, lets build it!

note- due to a new breakthrough in my pics, there is no blur anymore.
