Unusual Weapons Launches With Line of War Memorabilia and Crossbows

BOTHELL, Wash. - Nov. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- A new ecommerce website going by the name of Unusual Weapons is announcing its grand opening to the public. As their name suggests, they stock a number of weapons that may be difficult to find elsewhere, and specialize in Civil War, World War I and World War II style weaponry including knives, daggers and bayonets. They also carry a line of crossbows and self defense weapons such as pepper sprays and stun guns.

Knowing that it can be impossible for many people to find war memorabilia and weaponry in shops that are a reasonable distance from where they live, the owners of Unusual Weapons decided to put their stock of Civil War and World War-style weapons online so that everyone across the country could have access to them. Their Civil War weapons include military standard bowie knives with included leather scabbards, plus mini Civil War cannons. Their World War I and II items include a wide range of different blades that were commonly used in the military at the time. Each knife, dagger or bayonet is made from stainless, carbon, and/or surgical steel and most include locking metal scabbards.

Unusual weapons also carry crossbows that can be used for recreation or for bow hunting. These include both pistol grip crossbows, which are light enough to be held in one hand while you aim and fire, and shoulder held crossbows, which are heavier and must be handled with two hands. Shoulder crossbows are more accurate, as the accuracy of a crossbow tends to increase with weight. They stock crossbows that come in many different price ranges which generally depend on what type of material the bow is made from - whether it’s wood, fiberglass, or aluminum.

Self defense weapons tend to be easier to find, but still not as widely available as they should be due to their life saving potential. Unusual weapons carries compact yet powerful containers of pepper spray, which will instantly incapacitate an attacker. The hot spray works by irritating mucus membranes, including the eyes and throat, to temporarily blind the target and cause uncontrollable coughing fits. All the effects of pepper spray will wear off after several minutes, allowing you plenty of time to escape without making you liable for permanent health problems. Stun guns are less compact, however they are able to completely incapacitate the target without any risk of blowback. The target of a stun gun will experience involuntary muscle spasms that leave the person unable to move their limbs. These effects will also wear off after a short amount of time.

Always be sure to check with your local authorities about laws regarding the use and ownership of pepper sprays and stun guns before you make a purchase.

The creators of Unusual Weapons launched their website with the hope that anyone with a passion for war memorabilia and collectables could have instant access to these hard to find weapons and have them shipped straight to their front door.
