Approx dimensions: Length 37 1/2” Width 21 1/4” A bullet-shooting crossbow, also known as prodd,pelletbow, ballester, stone bow, or rock-throwing crossbow, is a modified version of the classic crossbow. The bow was usually constructed with wood or steel, depending on the preference. It typically utilizes bullets and stones as projectiles instead of the traditional quarrel. Because most bullet-shooting crossbows use small bullets, the bullet-shooting crossbow was used primarily for hunting. The small caliber rounds are perfect for killing animals like birds and rats. Being a crossbow, it doesn't give off much sound. Even though more powerful weapons were invented, like the air gun, the bullet-shooting crossbow was used extensively throughout history because it wasn't loud enough to scare prey off. Naturally, this bow took the poaching profession by storm and was the weapon of choice for decades. Don't let this item slip away!!!
