I saw a picture of a pellet crossbow once.  The design was pretty cool.  It had two bows in the front so that the arms are at right angle to eachother.  If you look at it from the front you'll see that the arms from a big X. I can't remember the details though.  Hope that helps.

english,

It was a long time ago.  I came across the picture in a book on the history of weapons.  I really don't recall much else.  The device was big, the bows were the height of the shooter and it was mounted on to a wooden base.  There was a cranking device at the back.  It must have been extremely powerful. 

The book belong to my grandfather.  He might still have it at his home in Toronto.  I'll see what I can do.

hmm i wonder if you could rig up some kinda tube so the shot gos throu the tube and past your nuckels. not historicaly accurite but it might work.
