Of course you know, this means war!

Load this miniature rubber-band powered crossbow with a cotton-swab "bolt", and try your skill in marksmanship at distances up to 10 feet!

Others have done this before (e.g. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:509659), but of course I couldn't resist designing my own. This design is simplified from some of the other miniature crossbows you may find. It uses no non-printed parts, save for the rubber band and cotton swabs. You you can omit the "clip" part for a functional design that prints in one piece. If used, the clip helps to retain and align the bolt with the rubber band, improving function and reliability.
