THE NSW government wants to change prohibited weapons laws so offenders can be jailed for up to 14 years for illegally possessing crossbows, grenades, flamethrowers and other "military-style" arms.
Under proposed changes to the Weapons Prohibition Act 1998 and the Weapons Prohibition Regulation 1999, such weapons would be specifically listed as military-style prohibited weapons, Police Minister Tony Kelly said.

Since the crossbow is a weapon of war, the answer is quite obviously yes.

Any fights with sticks and rocks cannot be considered battles, let alone be part of a war. If you can find a historical example to support your argument, please let me know, otherwise I'll assume you're creating straw-man arguments about the nature of mankind's violent tendancies.

Are crossbows that dangerous to be classed as military weapons?
