The Crossbolt is actually powered by the string which is a type of elastic. The main issue I have with it is that it jams very often and the prime is very awkward and uncomfortable. The jams are usually caused by the string going underneath the dart which rippes the back and just wrecks them in general. The ranges are fairly good when you can get it to fire. It's the only blaster I've had that the dart tooth has become permanantly stuck so it blocks the way for the dart to even shoot. I'll agree it looks nice but the overall grip is uncomfortable and the prime is very awkward. I don't usually do this but I strongly suggest you don't get one. You would have more fun with a Deploy which might be hard to believe.
