Unique Modern Crossbows.
So today i saw a video on youtube of a crossbow called the DBX Dagger i think, it was a short compound and unique in that it doesn't have a stirrup, rather you step on the prod to spawn it, it also has a short powerstroke making it very compact, so i started thinking of other unique crossbows; there's the excalibur micro which is very small also, the AR-480 which shoots bolts and pellets, the In-Line mini which is a compact vertical crossbow, all scorpyd crossbows which are reverse draw crossbows and i saw new crossbow this year calle the siege 315 or something like that i dont remember, it had its quiver on top and to one side allowing it to (allegedly) shoot a second, third, forth, etc... shot faster.
So that's all the "unique" crossbows i remember right now, does anyone know of another unique crossbow?

You might agree this crossbow is not only unusual but also quirky. Here is a list of its different features
which I hope will answer some questions.
1 Very long tiller
2 Prod held in place by spreader bar and using wood wedges faced with 1/8” thick steel plates
3 Prod is mounted just below path of shot in vertical slot rather than frontal slot or hole
4 Roller sear mounted on a pair of miniature ball bearings
5 Remote thumb actuated auxiliary trigger without mechanical advantage
6 Only one sight, it is at front
7 Removable trackway
8 Shoots steel balls rather than darts or arrows
9 Allows five shot ¼”groups and six shot ¾” groups at 62ft (all these with a scope)
10 Uses wippe spanner that gives a horizontal push
11 Antique Italian sighting aids to locate your eye as rear sight
12 Needs a special shooting bench

Barnett Commando.
Created in the early 80's, an featured in many a movie.
Clever design, though has many flaws.

Re: Unique Modern Crossbows.
Do you mean the MXB Dagger? It's made by Mission and yes they put grips inside the limbs. A lot of guys love them. I currently own a Barnett Commando 2 compound. Big, ugly and heavy. But I feel pretty privileged to own it.

Re: Unique Modern Crossbows.
Yeah i have no idea where DBX came from but yeah thanks fro clearing that up. Barnett Crossbows are pretty cool, my first crossbow was a Wildcat 2 recurve.
