I don't personally have anything against the CrossBolt. But I also don't own one. And the reason is because it's pretty clear almost everyone else in the NIC isn't a big fan. The reasons are legion.
So the real question isn't why we're hating on the CrossBolt, it's why is everybody hating on the CrossBolt. And the answers are legion.
Okay, the grip is incredibly uncomfortable for my hands, it is as ergonomic as a brick with a pistol grip, and it jams a lot. Also ruins darts and can barely fire.
It was the greatest elite dart thrower at the time of its release (accuracy, power, range, that sound it makes) and is still great today (it's got 2 jam doors for goodness sake)

Umm, I think some nerfers needs to google "historical revisionism". Cuz the words "CrossBolt" and "greatest" don't appear together anywhere in the historical record.
Then again, I don't have a CrossBolt fixation. So I probably wouldn't know anything about that 🤭
