I don't know if it would be illegal reading the legislation:
WEAPONS PROHIBITION ACT 1998 - SCHEDULE 1 wrote:(5) A crossbow (or any similar device) consisting of a bow fitted transversely on a stock that has a groove or barrel designed to direct an arrow or bolt.

A mate talked to Vic pol about the, and they said they would be classed as a handgun. Go figure.

Barrel length and over all length would be the kicker I guess.

their reasoning was it can be shot without the rear bottle and that would put it under 65cm.

Same reason I believe you need permission from the Commissioner or other to shoot rail guns in Unlimited BR comps in NSW from what I understand - removable or shortened butt stocks?
