I still think roe, coyote, and turkey are to big of game to hunt with a pistol crossbow. The ethical list is ok but not perfect.

For the cost of the crossbow pistol Yote and Roe should be included

Looks like it has the same permitted species as the original .17Hmr (Ptarmigan -> Bobcat/Lynx)

If you test this out, the ballistics indicate that it's more powerful than the 50#-80# "toys" :p that are commercially available.
The ammo also has a broadhead, which the "toys" don't.

IRL, I can't imagine being confident enough to use this on anything bigger than a fox, and since I will lobby for realism any chance I get, I'm OK with the permitted species list in-game.

Carrying this along with any of the big guns (7mm, 8mm, 9.3mm or .300), you're armed for everything but Water Buffalo.
It's "Tod", with one bloody 'd'!

The original 17hmr was ptarmigan -> Bobcat (before Lynx was added). When the HV was released, they split it up and added the Coyote

I don't see why everyone is freaking out over no roe deer. It's not realistic or ethical to hunt an animal that size with a weapon like this!

Maybe bcz was advised it will be ethical... If you look at shop before or on wiki - list of ethical animals included Roe, Coyote... not now.
