Lego builders Sean and Steph Mayo built this very real, and very functional crossbow from Lego bricks. Viper Compound Crossbow is so thoroughly Lego, even the cables come from Lego electronics. The best part is that the compound crossbow can actually shoot bolts, and not just pitiful signal shots, but shots strong enough to qualify for the functional crossbow name.
