    Here's my idea for nerfing the cbow.

    Many people complain about how easy and the amount of kills you get when using it. Also, a large of amount of people complain about the cbow's easy headshot, without even pulling back the bow that far.

    Inspiration: On a Minecraft CTF server, you have to pull the bow back fully to get a headshot.

    I think that Mc-War game-play would benefit from this. It would make it so that the cbow could only headshot when fully pulled back. It would be harder to nuke and make it a less of a "spammy" gun.

    Did you like this idea? Give me some feedback below!

    Devin. That would nerf it too much. You don't rip off other servers either. I usually pull it midway then fire

    Yes! I would love this. I don't know why they haven't implemented this already.

    It's not ripping them off, since MANY servers have implemented variations of this.
    Thank you! I thought it would be quite a good idea.

    Hmmm...I think its already balanced.
    Even if a headshot has to be fully pulled back, people can still kill you in 1-hit with the explosions.
    Plus, its firerate is slow compared to the guns and the arrows travel in an arc.

    I think the cbow would be fine if it's spamming ability was removed. Perhaps a reload time or something similar could work. Devin's idea sounds like it's on the right track +1

    No, the crossbow should actually be a damn crossbow and not a bow.
    It should have a 3 shot magazine and a firerate of the, say model but you don't have to pull it back, it would be full power once you right click if that is possible.

    Yes, it is named "cross bow" after all. You do need to pull back the string and insert a quarrel before shooting again! This sounds better, but only a few seconds.

    What about just simply making it's explosion to deal 19 damage?

    If have seen a glitch with the cbow and a reloading effect, if you EXTREMELY spam the bow it will shoot one arrow further with a sniper sound then reload, maybe if we move that glitch into the real gun we could have a reload.
