- Actually, I tried to make a way to cock it with the handle, but it wasn't possible within this design. 😩
-------------------------------------------
Long time no see, everyone!
I ran out of ideas on what to do with ethanol. So, I deviated a bit from playing with ethanol, and tried making something that mixes a bit of the medieval with some modern technology.
Because, well, it's just fun.
Don't try to find a reason in this. Usually, I don't even know myself.
Oh, and this is a very early design, so there are many features not yet implemented. Therefore, I'm not planning to "yet" release the files.
a way to add a solution for the string is either to add a pump action cocker to the upper frame (similar to a mp5 charging handle but instead of it being where the locking position is up at the rear, it would be at the front and would be in the locked position when the string is in the ready to fire position. This would allow the string catching claw to be out of the way when firing but still be usable for drawing the string back, though it might require a bit of reworking to the string catch at the rear to allow it to properly cycle.) or to add a system where the entire upper frame acts as a lever for drawing the string back. (this would probably be easier to do but has several drawbacks to doing it, namely it would throw off the accuracy of the sights, as well as having a higher potential for breaking.)
Who cares about accuracy???
I would go with a compound lever.
The primary arm of the lever should be the entire length of the upper frame, should hinge at the rear, and stow to the front.
The secondary lever should have hooks for the string and be the length of the string travel, and should attach to the primary such that in the stowed position, the hooks are just ahead of the string.
Cocking would involve pulling the primary lever up and rearward. This should give an average mechanical advantage of a bit better than three to one, since the hooks will travel 1x the length of the string stroke (which appears to be half the frame length), but the handle will travel 0.5pi * frame length.
That could work! You could also have something along the lines of an early Thompson/Uzi charging handle as well, with the charging handle on top of the rail, or even a non reciprocating charging handle like on a BAR, or AR pattern rifle (Not that it reciprocates while firing but I think it would be cool 😄)
I think something like the stock as cocking lever system like in the Ar6 stinger by Steambow could work
Idea: Six limbs, six strings, rotating gear that releases the strings as part of the action.
That's a gatling crossbow
In an alternate Earth where gunpowder was never invented.
You could hunt vampires with that!
Van Helsing: “I’ll take it.”
Soooo tempted to make this a weapon in my upcoming Pathfinder 2e campaign
Dooooo it.
You would need to give it a buff over normal crossbows, like not requiring a bonus action to load
@@DH-xw6jp maybe after it runs out of ammo, it requires two bonus actions to load to make it balanced-ish
this is kinda close to what my YT channel would look like if i had a 3d printer XD
The setup for making good looking and sounding videos is wayyy more expensive than a 3D printer. The real cost is the time it takes you to learn CAD. Well worth it tho.
WOW! Stellar production, excellent project... What a channel!
I watched all your video in 2x speed. No wonder everything was crazy fast lol
Next step is the Helsing from Metro 😁
Imagine this has Adderini's cocking system.
Perhaps, you might want to develop a lever cocking for the crossbow to increase firing rate, just like Zhuge nu or skyrim crossbow, or you might want to check out the concept of instant legolas
This looks like something a DnD adventurer would use... But tactical XD
the artificer when the DM says he can't make guns
i just came back from college and on my pc, to see the video. Nice design, did u use any lubricant to prevent were?
I completely forgot about that.
That's a good point.
I know this one isn’t published yet but where do you publish your designs?
I think he puts them on patreon.
Easily one of the coolest things I've ever seen! wow, keep up the good work!
thats the coolest thing ive seen in awhile!
I would incorporate the "Hammer" into a cocking mechanism but i guess that would require Sturdier material i know there are crossbows that use a lever to arm the weapon
nice verry niche ,
which printer do you use?
I would recommend switching to eyeglass screws. They are cheap, You can buy thousands for like a few bucks. They hold just as good as those but will also need a screw thread tap too.
It kind of looks like its made of denim.
its the best frame because it looks like texas
Nice design keep up the good videos
Can you maby make a video about the apfsds (20mm) in your mini potato gun which you fire at a longer distance?
Don't feel too bad about not finding a solution to cocking at the time. After all, they couldn't have invented the double-action revolver without first inventing the single-action, and you've already at the stage in development.
Have you seen the Adderini? The design has a pretty cool cocking mechanism
looks cool
Nice work!
Awesome !
noone told me we are building weapons now. nice
That's who the real engineer
What 8yr old me felt like disassembling my nerf gun:
Let me show you its features!
Very very very very good!!!!!
Jorge would approve.
it resembles the metro 2033 shotgun with the exposed shells and such
the next creation will be the crossbow van helsing or dynamitebow jhon x ;D
This reminds me of the magazine fed crossbow from Half-Life 1
Hooooooo! I like this!
To pull back the String
Nerf had made a Rebel line one that was pump action. But it jammed alot and it had this stupid passcode thing that was easily bypassable by just opening it and removing it entirely. It works better now.
Bjorn would be proud
can you put this on thingy verse
this rocks
Make it shoot apfsds
if you replace the bolts with micromissiles you get a revolving bolter.
2:30 The plate is in the shape of Texas! Almost!
I think a bolt handle or pump action to charge the string would be nice. Thats the main problem with crossbows. There are other "automatic" crossbow builds which I have seen.
if only you have CNC Machine bro
An electric motor with some gears to pull that crossbow string back and it's fully automatic.
