Dealextreme - $6 Wooden Crossbow - Rat Pack - Dec 25, 2012
Probably shit quality + the arrow tips are rubber. However, there is still room for modifications. Less than 50 left.

Do you think it will get through the Dutch Customs?

It seems like it would be ok.
Quote:In the Netherlands crossbows are regulated by the "wet wapens en munitie" (law on weapons and ammunition). Crossbows and crossbow bolts are placed in category 4, along with bows, swords, spears, etc. It is legal to possess weapons from this category providing that the individual is over 18. It is not allowed to carry those weapons in public. When transporting, the weapon should be packaged in a way that one has to perform at least 3 actions before the weapon is ready for use (this does not include the steps required to actually load and fire the weapon). Only on special occasions such as re-enactment events this is not strictly enforced. Crossbows should be used only for collecting, re-enactment or sportive purposes. Hunting with crossbows (or bows) is strictly prohibited in the Netherlands under animal cruelty laws.

Yeah, I think so too. Sometimes, when I'm really bored, I make weapons out of household items, so this would be a nice project to work on.

Australia is so strict about these things, there's this TV show here called "Border Control" or something like that, (they probably show it over there?) and they don't let ANYTHING into the country. Lasers, knives and even some food haha.
It works two ways though.
