For the attention of lovers of crossbow and crossbow shooting in the modern market there is a wide range of different weapon models. Crossbows produced by a large number of different manufacturers can differ from each other both in their appearance and in their tactical and technical characteristics. Crossbows are block and recursive. Since 2010, it has been possible to purchase the Interloper Mongoose Crossbow. You can become the owner of this weapon model for only 13 thousand rubles. Information about the device, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of the recursive crossbow "Mongoose" you will find in this article.
What does recursive mean?
Before you purchase a particular crossbow model, you should familiarize yourself with the type of its design. What is meant by the definition of "recursive"? According to experts, crossbows of this design, regardless of the manufacturer, are the same shooting products, which are characterized by the presence of a trigger mechanism, a pistol grip, a stock and a guide for the arrows. The main feature of a recursive crossbow is the use of simple curved shoulders.
In other words, it is a bow located horizontally and firmly fixed on the bed, the retention and descent of the bowstring of which is ensured by a special system. According to experts, a significant difference between recursive crossbows and block crossbows is in the distribution of the bowstring. During her platoon, a uniform increase in voltage occurs. Then it is fixed by means of a trigger. At this stage, the voltage reaches its peak. This mechanism is able to withstand power influences up to 43 kg / s. After the shot, the bowstring is released and the bent shoulders of the crossbow are straightened. The bowstring, moving along the guide, pushes the arrow, which, with the energy charge transferred to it, can cover a distance of 20 to 30 m. One of these shooting products is the Mongoose crossbow.
Meet the weapons
Crossbow "Mongoose" is a new development for fans of recursive small arms. According to experts, it differs significantly from crossbows of a similar design. Judging by the reviews, the Mongoose crossbows are equipped with more convenient butts. The developers converted this element into a design into a castle. In addition, the crossbow was equipped with a fuse, making it much safer to operate the weapon.
Description
Crossbow with a completely reformed butt. For its manufacture, high-strength plastic is used. The owners praised the quality of the painting. At the bottom of the butt there is a place for fastening under the belt. Another feature of the crossbow is the presence of a special slot for the tensioner. Unlike other analogues, the best material was used for the production of the guide in “Mongoose”. In addition, according to the owners, the guide is slightly longer and with a finer finish - to increase the course of the bowstring, the designers had to lengthen it by 40 mm. As a result, the bolt flies out at a higher speed.
About device
The Mongoose crossbow is equipped with a voluminous metal trigger. In order to ensure convenience during operation, the creators of the edge of the trigger rounded. Now, after frequent clicks, the finger does not erase. The lock in this model was modified. As in the other rifle units of this manufacturer, the design has a fuse, which can be easily and quickly removed if necessary. During platoon, he is set in a protected position. Thus, empty shooting is excluded, in other words, the weapon will not work without an installed arrow. Judging by the reviews of the owners, the Mongoose crossbow has modified mounts for the optical sight. Unlike previous models manufactured by Interloper, in this sample the fasteners are securely fixed, so that the optics do not go astray even after a series of shots. Since the Weaver type is considered to be one of the most popular types of mounts for many crossbows, it was decided to use it in Mongoose.
About the block
According to the owners, the pads in the crossbow are made efficiently by milling. For their manufacture, an integral aluminum fragment is used. Since the greatest force is exerted during pulling the bowstring on the pads, they were screwed to the guide very firmly and without gaps. To prevent loosening and loosening of the driving screw from vibration during shots, the crossbow was additionally equipped with a fixing bolt. As a material for the shoulders, multilayer fiberglass is used.
About specifications
The following indicators are inherent in Mongoose crossbows:
- Weighs a crossbow with a spirit span of 890 mm to 3.8 kg.
- Fast Flyte bowstring tension reaches 43 kg / s.
- Its working stroke is 340 mm.
- The total length of the weapon is 920 mm.
Owners opinion
Judging by the numerous reviews, the undoubted advantage of this crossbow is its simple design. Also, the advantages include light weight and relatively low cost. The owners highly appreciated the speed of departure of the arrow. In one second, it can cover a 100-meter distance. However, despite its lightness, the design of the crossbow is too bulky, which is its drawback. It will be more convenient to transport weapons in a special case.
Due to the fact that the Mongoose is a powerful crossbow, experts do not recommend charging it with aluminum bolts. Otherwise, having hit the target, they can be deformed. After 3-4 such shots, the arrows will lose their pristine qualities. It is best to get 20-inch carbon arrows, which have a large operational resource.
