			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Real-life Forge Patrick Priebe wowed and nearly blinded us with his <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/07/21/palm-mounted-laser/">palm-mounted laser</a>. Now he&#8217;s back with another hand part-mounted doer of harm – a wrist-mounted crossbow gauntlet.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-72039" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wrist-mounted-crossbow-by-patrick-priebe.jpg" alt="wrist mounted crossbow by patrick priebe" width="600" height="452" title="wrist mounted crossbow by patrick priebe photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-72038"></span>Patrick says that all of his wristbow&#8217;s parts are homemade. It even has a laser sight, which is powered by two AA-batteries which are tucked on his palm along with the laser sight&#8217;s toggle. The wristbow&#8217;s bolts are made of carbon fiber tubing with brass and steel tips, although crossbow connoisseurs might balk at his bolts because they have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletching">fletching</a> – the feathery things near the back of the arrow – which bolts are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossbow#Projectiles">not supposed to have</a>. Watch the not-bolts and the wristbow destroy things in the video below:</p>

<p>That&#8217;s an ultra-silent crossbow. It didn&#8217;t make a sound even when it hit the can! Oh. Yeah, yeah I knew that there really was no audio the first time around. Heheh. Heh. Patrick says he&#8217;ll make an instructable soon so that <em>Deus Ex</em> <em></em> fans can augment their cosplay with their own wrist-mounted crossbow. Who knows, maybe Patrick will even accept custom orders like he does with his <a href="http://www.laser-gadgets.com/">other creations</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you just can&#8217;t get enough of <em>Link&#8217;s Crossbow Training</em> for the Wii, have I got an accessory for you. Sure the hour-long game already comes inside the package with Nintendo&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FWii-Zapper-Links-Crossbow-Training%2Fdp%2FB000W5Y49G&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Wii Zapper</a>, but that&#8217;s not really a crossbow, is it?</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/wii_crossbow.jpg" alt="wii crossbow"  title="wii crossbow photo" /></p>
<p>What&#8217;s kind of wacky about the weapon is that they&#8217;ve actually covered up the tip of the &#8220;arrow&#8221; with a dumb looking plastic ball, taking all the fun out of shooting an arrow through your TV screen. On the other hand, the crossbow does feature a laser sight which should do a fine job reflecting off your display and blinding you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/link_crossbow_wii.jpg" alt="link crossbow wii"  title="link crossbow wii photo" /></p>
<p>Priced at about $28, the plastic crossbow is more expensive than the Zapper and Link bundle, making it pretty impractical since that&#8217;s the only Wii game I can think of that has a crossbow as its primary weapon.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re still convinced that just have to have this, head on over to <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11459~r.99999999">DealExtreme</a> to get your hands on one.</p>
