Deadly crossbows sold on High Street without need for a licence or background checks DEADLY assault rifle-style crossbows are available on high streets and online without any need for a licence or background checks. Today the Daily Express launches a crusade calling on the Government to crack down on the sale of the potentially lethal weapons which can be bought without having to give details of identity or a reason for their use.
We were able to visit a shop yards from one of Britain's busiest city centre high streets and buy a high-velocity 175lb Panther crossbow which boasts the promise "Built for power".
The terrifying weapon, bought in Leeds, is capable of hitting a target with its aluminium-pointed bolts at 500 yards.
Like many other brands it comes with a telescopic sight to make aiming easier and is designed to be as straightforward as possible to shoot.

Makes you wonder how a country could go from Churchill "Never Surrender" to hysteria over crossbows.

So if it's accurate to 500 yards then there's no excuse for missing a broadside shot at 30 yards any more, right? How did they eliminate user error? Must be using a laser lock on with a gyro. Amazing what technology can do these days.
