B08 ball crossbow – versatility redefined.

The B08 is a ball crossbow in caliber .68 with an 8-shot removable magazine.
All commercially available .68 projectiles can be used, such as paintballs, chalk balls or solid projectiles like plastic pellets.

The B08 was developed as a sporting device for recreational shooting or paintball and is supplied by us with the 35 lbs bow. Stronger bows are available separately. All limbs with AR-Series mounting block fit.

The B08 works like all our AR-Series crossbows: at the push of a button you can tilt the Upper up and insert a launching arm. The detachable magazine can be preloaded with 8 balls and then inserted into the Upper. Thanks to the quick-clamp system you are then ready to fire in no time and the 8 balls can be fired rapidly one after another. The sight rail allows excellent target acquisition and the mounting of optics such as red dot sights or scopes.

The B08 is light and robust enough to withstand even the toughest use on paintball fields, but it’s also a lot of fun when shooting empty beverage cans in your own garden.

With the correct — i.e. soft or bursting — balls and with a low-power bow, the B08 is very safe and, provided that eye protection is worn, can also be used safely indoors.

Warning: In its delivered condition the B08 is harmless enough to play paintball or to shoot at each other. However, always use protective equipment such as a suitable paintball mask. Also be sure to use balls suitable for paintball! The balls included in the delivery are not soft enough to rule out injury. The supplied safety goggles are not suitable for paintball because they can slip too easily and thus do not provide adequate protection.

With stronger launching arms and harder or heavier projectiles, the situation is entirely different and the B08 can become very dangerous. Use of the B08 in such cases is at your own risk. A B08 fitted with strong launching arms poses at least as significant a danger as a crossbow that fires arrows. And with some projectiles, especially steel balls, ricochets or gellers can be expected.

Warning: Outside the parameters specified by us, i.e. 35 lbs draw weight and soft balls, use of the B08 is at your own risk! We accept no liability for resulting personal injury or property damage, or for damage to the crossbow. With strong launching arms sufficiently heavy projectiles must be used, otherwise the slider or the crossbow can be damaged.

We recommend wearing adequate protective clothing during corresponding experiments and taking sufficient care regarding people, animals and other people's property. Ricocheting balls can — even hundreds of meters away — lead to death, serious injury or damage. Direct hits can be life-threatening, cause severe injury or result directly in death.

Warning: When selecting .68 balls, also observe the laws applicable in your country. Certain projectiles, e.g. irritant-filled balls such as PepperBalls™, may be subject to legal restrictions.

The B08 features a patented slider that gently accelerates and fires liquid- or powder-filled balls without damage. The slider is built very light and durable. When using stronger launching arms, pay attention to sufficient projectile weight. This applies even more to the B08 because many of the available .68 balls are very light. Using balls that are too light in relation to the launching arm leads to increased string wear and in the worst case to slider failure. The slider is available as a spare part.

Warning: The B08 is intended for use exclusively with irritant-filled balls, so-called PepperBalls™, “Less than Lethal”, i.e. with a very high probability not lethal. With hard or heavy balls the crossbow is potentially lethal and must be treated as such.
