Yes it is. Anything that can penetrate a human body can be potentially deadly. A pellet gun, if the pellet hit with enough velocity to puncture the carotid artery could be deadly also, same with an air rifle. Some pellets are designed for hunting, barrel shaped with a point at one end.
A simple blade of grass can be a lethal weapon, have you never watched kung-fu movies?

Crossbows are much less complicated to apply than compounds yet no longer via plenty. With crossbows you do no longer could carry the string lower back, yet nevertheless with the letoff on a compound you're in basic terms conserving around 20lbs besides possibly much less. the two varieties of bows are often shot with triggers, compounds are often shot with mechanical releases. the only distinction is with the bow hand and lower back. Even compound shooters would desire to have a comfortable bow hand and use their lower back muscle tissues to shoot the bow in the event that they choose pinpoint accuracy and consistency. Crossbow customers do no longer could pay interest to such issues. The section approximately crossbows being too effective as to injury bales is a fable. the concern with crossbows is with the owner. The bolts are so short that they are frequently burried interior the bale and then the owner has to dig them out. that's what's destroying the bale. to seek small video games like which you would be greater clever off with a recurve or longbow as somebody stated. Crossbows and compounds can't be fired quickly adequate for those quickly shifting aims. in basic terms time i've got seen human beings hit those animals are with some variety of a nicely-known bow, capturing instinctive. That demands a lot of prepare. a chum of mine used to prepare 7 days a week approximately two hundred arrows an afternoon to get rather sturdy at capturing instinctive.

Everythin can be a deadly weapon. An innocent piece of paper can be deadly, if you stuff it down someones throat and they can't breathe

If it is used as anything other than a wall ornament it could be considered a lethal weapon.
