I was trawling DX and they had some crossbows.But they were loaded with some kind of darts.I thought crossbows were loaded with short arrows?

I post one of them, look at the pictures for those darts.

Can someone explain this to me?

Not sure what country you are trying to import.

Two things seems to stick out , sold out and 32 kg pull weight. That's about 80 lbs of draw weight and will not go as far as they are claiming 100 meters. That's 108 yards. I don't have my cross bow with me at this moment but our draw weight is 150 - 185 lbs and is not recommended to shoot beyond 50 yards, that's 40 meters. Given the cheap scope and limbs and hardware I will not be buying it. No offense to any one and me no experts - Haji

I amn't buying.I just was curious, with the kind of projectiles fired.Maybe they claim 100 yards because it is with darts and not full size arrows?

That is not a proper cross bow as one uses for purposes like hunting, that is more of a toy.
