Anon... no. Just no.

The wristbow being strapped on or bolted in makes virtually no difference, as the issue is trying to aim with your arm.

having a crossbow on your wrist all the time would be MORE combersome, because it'd hamper your movement and you'd have to be extra careful not to shoot it accidentally.

It's also not gonna have much range, because it has such a short draw. let's say you are pushing a shopping cart: If you push it for ten feet, it's gonna have more speed and momentum than if you only push it for two feet.

The wristbow is ONLY useful as a short-to-mid-range weapon, to close a short gap between you and your attacker. It's hard to charge someone (or aim your gun) if you have to duck because someone is chucking sharp things at you.

It LOOKS cool, but it's a really, really bad idea for something you wanna use a lot. Far better to have the hand crossbow.

But then, I use longbows, so I can stay way the hell away from people while I shoot at them.
