Youtuber WeaponCollector has designed a carbine crossbow* and is building it from simply constructed pieces of wood and metal. Just goes to show you how human ingenuity knows few bounds. And hey, Parts 2 and 3 are up already, so give them a look on his channel.

Very cool, but how is it a ‘carbine’ crossbow? Plenty of short stocked bows out there, even ones with thumbhole stocks.
I dunno. It’s what the creator called it, so I’ll stick with that name 😛
