3D model description

Please keep in mind that I am neither a lawyer, nor an expert in German gun laws but I will try to explain anyway :-)

In Germany we have strange laws in regard to Crossbows, Bows and the mounting of lasers and flashlights. Or more specific on mounting flashlights and lasers to weapons. Ok, for now Crossbows are classified as weapons which means you are not allowed to mount flashlights or lasers to them. Also any device / adapter which enables you to mount a laser / flashlight to a standard Picatinny rail of a normal gun are considered illegal or at least somewhat of a "weapon part". There was a big news campaign when the police seized some "weapon flashlights" imported from China.

So what is all the fuzz about ? If you can buy Picatinny compatible flashlights at your local Gun store, simply ignore this flashlight mount. If you live in Germany you might want to read on.

The "no crossbow" version of the Adderini to my understanding is is rated as "bow" (or at least not as a Crossbow). This means you can legally mount a flashlight to it.

OK, unfortunately printing a Picatinny flashlight mount for the "no crossbow" Adderini means you enter a somewhat legal grey area (the Picatinny flashlight mount could also be mounted to a gun).

So I tried a different approach and designed a simplyfied mount for flashlights (which should also work for round laser sights).

This mount should fit most of the cheap single 18650 LED flashlights you can get from Ali Express and the alike.
