Twinbow II crossbow
The Twinbow II is an interesting, and beautifully designed, crossbow made by Swiss Crossbow.

It can be cocked in three seconds and fire a bolt at a speed of 370 feet/sec [ I know nothing about crossbows so I am not sure how revolutionary a 3 second cocking action is].
This video demostrates how it works the action works.
Brenzovich are importing the Twinbow but I am not sure who is actually selling it in the US. Arrow In Apple are selling it in Europe for 1449 Euros.
UPDATE: James has written an interesting post on how this crossbow compares to regular crossbows. It is worth reading.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

WHY!!!!
I'm an engineer and in my spare time I have been thinking up an idea for a new crossbow design. I quickly checked out the different designs out there and found nothing similar to my idea. I started doing the math and design, only to find out just now that someone has already made an almost perfect replica of my idea. Admittedly I didn't think of the cocking lever (very cool).
Just goes to show that if you have an idea you better move quickly or someone will get there first!
I just have to think of something better
Holy shit I want this so bad. Looks midevil
