Lego Bow / Crossbow Shooting Test (4K Stop Motion) 

So you need an Xacto knife or a similarly sharp razor blade. I'd also recommend laying the bow flat on a cutting board or something tough like that. You cut very carefully 6 times (if you're young, have a parent help you, it's easy to cut yourself accidentally): first cut the front of the arrow off the bow, being careful not to cut the handgrip of the bow. Second, make a cut just behind the bow's handgrip, to free the arrow from it. Then make 2 small cuts on the arrow feathers to free them from the bowstring, and be careful not to cut the bowstring. Then make a precise cut (maybe with the point of the knife) at the very back of the feathers. This cut should cut through the arrow's shaft, but again, it should not cut through the bowstring. You should be left with a bow with the very back of the arrow shaft sticking off the back of the string. Finally, cut the back of the arrow off of the string, and yet again, be very careful not to cut the string. You should have a small circle of the arrow's shaft left on the bowstring; this you can shave down to match the diameter of the bowstring. Similarly, you can shave off any excess arrow bits from the bow's handgrip. Last, take the bowstring and bend it to be straight. It will want to go back into bent position, but if you flex it enough, it should eventually stay staighter. You can glue the arrow together again just with the two main halves, or you can glue the little back piece into the middle of the shaft to help it look the same length it was in the bow. Anyways, I can help you more if you're confused, feel free to ask questions.

@@TheWhitmers do you mind making a video of it

@@TheWhitmers Ahh okay

Thanks.

Thank you! I'm trying to keep on improving.

Thanks! Glad to hear it.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

It is so good

Thanks, that's what I was going for. Now to fix the camera shaking . . .

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks.

Thank you

I've found a way to cut the bow piece so that you get the bowstring intact, as well as two halves of an arrow that can be stuck back together. I wish I could accomplish this on the small bow without cutting, but this is the best I can do so far. (For a longbow, I can just brick build the bow to have an actual flexible string.) If you're asking how the arrow flies in the air, that part's pretty simple: just hold it so that your fingers or the stand its on or whatever are off screen. It looks fine even if you don't blur it, but you can blur it just by moving the arrow back and forth while taking the picture.

I knew that from another youtuber named Brick Dictator :)@@TheWhitmers

@@WatashiKylieDesu Good point, and that's where I got the idea years ago. (But I can truly say this design is an improvement, mainly just in looks, i.e. the bowstring doesn't have a little circle where the arrow was cut out.) Your right though; good eye!

@@TheWhitmers Also,but don't copy how he do! :O He cuts lego!!! 1984 ones!!!! (and a lot!!!) And they are real lego(if he cuts fake lego then it make sense :/ )

@@WatashiKylieDesu Yeah, that always bothered me how he cuts the black falcons and crusaders. Don't worry; I won't do that in my videos.

See my comment below.

Yoo
