[Official Statement to the International Community]

Today, Mirhuellian Scientists Have developed a new Type of Hand-Granade Launcher. Here follow all the known specs.

Name: G-Crossbow (G stands for Granade)
Appearence:Sketch (http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/2280/gcrossbow8zw.jpg)
Granade Type Supported: Specially Designed Frag/Stun Granades, made to optimise travelling speed, and designed to explode on impact.

Projectile Speed: 320m/s



((OOC: Since this is my first weapon development, I'd Apreciate a few pointers on specifying a bit more, and improving it's reality factor.)

OOC: A grenade is particularly heavy and a crossbow doesn't seem to be the best way to utilize it and hte speed is extremely fast. I don't think it'll deliver the amount of power necessary and most people will stick to 6 round drum grenade launchers.

OOC: Cool idea, but Leafanistan is right, a crossbow would not be able to effectively throw out a grenade as they're to heavy. However, if you wanted, you could make crossbow bolts tipped with small explosives. If you want to start designing a weapon, try something simple and common like an assault rifle or tank. My first designs in my older nations were derivatives of Canadian army vehicles, then I started designing whole new vehicles.

Just use a bow and arrow with an explosive head like RAMBO :mp5:

((OOC: heh... the reason why I did that design was because how easy it is to draw. (My Drawing/Photoshop skills are Incredibly low). I suppose I could try drawing an Artilery Unit, In fact I already have a design plan... please disregard this development, as It was momentarily... CANNED))
