Magazine: not much to say, get a bunch.
To expand on this slightly : get A BUNCH of high-capacity mags NOW, because those will 100% be going away again under President Corpsebreath and VP Sassy Ronald Reagan.
Please stop making fun of people for shooting .22. It’s tough because I’m a leftist, I love this sub, and I work hard to be a good person and practice good praxis, but I’m also 28 and shoot .22.
A decent crossbow (where I live) costs about £150 for a basic, but good quality one, bolts are £10 for 6 decent ones, but they are reusable
For defence though you will want broadheads and they are significantly more expensive, I buy screw on broadhead tips for my standard bolts, and they are £10 for a pack of 3, but again, reusable.
obviously they have far reduced range than a firearm, are borderline impossible to conceal, are very slow to reload unless you practice extensively with it, and even then it’s still slow, you will need spare strings and a quiver, which adds bulk if you were planning to go anywhere with it.
if you’re buying an AR pistol as suggested here, please understand that there are important legal differences between a “pistol” and a “rifle” according to the National Firearms Act that have some felony-level pitfalls if ignored. See here and here for details.
TL;DR is, if your AR has a barrel length of less than 16", you cannot legally put a stock on it without registering it with the ATF as a “short barreled rifle” (costs $$ and time). If you want to avoid registration, it must have a “pistol brace” which is ostensibly not intended to be shouldered. To reiterate- “pistol brace” is fine, but buying a $30 M4-style stock and putting it on the gun suggested above is a felony if not registered. Additionally, vertical fore-grips are also a no-no, again with potential felony consequences if not registered.
ALSO, none of this takes into account local/state level laws which may apply to firearms of this type. Definitely inform yourself of what laws apply to your area before making any firearms purchase.
