Japan - criminals turn to crossbows?

1980s action flick, Cyborg, the hero played by Jean Claude Van Damme used a paintball gun turned into a sort of pneumatic multibarrel arrow/dart launcher.

I saw that movie years ago now. I believe Jean-Claude Van Damme his breakout movie was 1988 "Bloodsport". I flew into the old Kai Tak airport which was used in the Bloodsport movie. There were huge numbers of 747 passenger planes there. I flew from LAX to Hong Kong and it was over a 15 hour flight to get to Hong Kong. I was flying in transit to Singapore back in 1994.

Were you there to fight in the Kumite?

If you're going to be shot and have a choice, would it be a firearm or a cross bow? Fire arm for me.

.25ACP? I'll take the gun please.

.338 Lapua? I might chance the bolt.

But yeah, crossbows are nasty and pack a horrific punch.

With criminals, it's always going to be one weapon or another...
... soon it's gonna be mini blow-guns and poison darts.

I was given a nice sturdy, re-usable, stainless steel drinking straw. It works great with those little air gun darts (or, so I've been told by some random stranger I met )

I'm gonna buy a bill pack of acupuncture needles. At the rate we are going they'll be banned in about 10 years and on the black market I'll be able to retire. It's like chess, be a step ahead

I'm sure these semiautomatic crossbows load from high capacity "clips" which hold more than 10 armor piercing arrows.
