Crossbows

Good Night, Jammers!

Yes, but it is not too strong to prevent piercing even by bullets fired from
high-caliber handguns... It is just the thing to protect one from stray bullets
or whatever...

Man, I do have both 3 mm double-scale and 5 mm plate vests... Both are titanium
alloy, and I tested _light_ crossbow on them... None cane hold the bolt. It is
just because bullets have less mass and aren't stabilised even in comparison
with unfeathered bolts that they are stopped...
