Crossbow

Here's something you don't see every day - a purple and green pump-action crossbow. It's part of a class project - my team was working on a fictitious game named "Knack Attack," and one of my characters was the Sentinel - a good-guy weapons expert who's very strong. He could use the standard stirrup-and-hook arrangement to cock the crossbow, but a pump-action version earns him some extra points for style.
