TonyE Posted 21 December , 2010 Share Posted 21 December , 2010 Not sure about WW1, but a small powerful crossbow was developed in WW2 for the commandos, intended for silent elimination of sentries (presumably before the De Lisle carbine!) It must have been considered legal then. There is an example in the National Firearms collection. (ex-Pattern Room) Regards TonyE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ex-Pattern Room) Regards TonyE I believe that it was an alternative to the De Lisle as the bolt on the latter still made a noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
