"For Your Eyes Only"

[Imperialknight]

Wanted one of these for a while not just for display but to eliminate quietly. The best Crossbow made to date. Too bad they no longer make these. These were also used on special missions where sound was a no no.

Also in my "For Your Eyes Only" collection

It is a rare crossbow to be sure. And I LOVE your recorder...

 

[Darth Kahnt]

Cool, love the Bond props.

Dave, can you please let me know if you received a PM from me. I have been having problems.
Thanks

So is it an actual crossbow or a prop? Real or reel?

 

[The Mantis]

That is a real crossbow....I know because the one I have will shoot a bolt into a tree...

Jerome, received your PM and thanks. Also, send me your email to dzaritsky@msn.com so I can put you on the Bond distribution list.

Like Mantis says. This baby is real as can be.

So what's it called?

Carol Bouquet was one of my favorite Bond girls.
Best car alarm too.

For Your Eyes Only had the pool scene where one of the girls turned out to be a real life transexual.

I'm sure the bow is quiet but I doubt the screams from the dying person is

The Crossbow was manufactured by a Company called Barnett, located in England, which still makes Crossbows. The Model is a Commando.

Take a tip from "The Wild Geese", aim for the throat. Isn't that the same type of crossbow that was used for Chewbacca's rifle in "Star Wars"?

I never researched Chewbacca's Bowcaster to see what they used to make it.
