This tiny crossbow probably packs enough power to fell a tiny elephant
This miniature crossbow is the weapon that Captain Nemo would have used, if he had used tiny, finger-sized weapons. The Mini Crossbow, made by T. Shamir, is fashioned from sterling silver and 22k gold, with the string and bow made from steel. But enough talk. Here it is in action:
As you can see, it is both powerful and scarily accurate. That alone would be enough to make it the most awesome miniature weapon I have seen this week, but Shamir had to go one better. Or perhaps two better: he added a couple of extra arrow types to his quiver.
Along with the basic steel-tipped aluminum arrow, he made ramming arrows, with a square head, suitable for smashing brittle things like windows, and the amazingly dangerous flare arrow, which lights up like a sparkler and carries its deadly flame to the target.
Of course I want one. Sadly, I’ll probably have to spend hours and hours designing and testing my own, as Shamir has made just one and isn’t selling it. Now where did I put that Dremel?
