I was surfing the internet and as usual I found something rather interesting.

Check out this place. They sell kits and rifles that will shoot arrows using both firearms with blanks and pneumatics.

Yalls thoughts?
 
First thought: LOLWHAT?!?

Second thought: This is quite interesting, i want to see one on vidio.
 
Cool, but do they have an adapter which will let me fire 30-06 cartridges from my longbow?
 
Did any of you see the movie "Hard Target" (1993) starring a long-haired Jean-Claude van Damme (martial artist-kickboxing background)?

At the beginning of the movie in New Orleans, two mercenaries run a business of providing human hunting opportunities for those who can afford their steep price.

The first hunter uses a similar set up that fired relatively short bolts/arrows with sharp broadheads as his weapon of choice to kill his target..the targets are down and out combat vets and given $10,000 cash if they can make it alive across town to the river.

Just as the vet is about to reach the river running on a rickety pier,the hunter drops him with an arrow through the back which pierces one of his dog tags...which is the set up for the rest of the movie.
 
There is a guy on a popular auction site that sell 10/22 barrels for an arrow firing conversion. Looks neat, and @ 400+ fps a smoker for sure.

Yea, that's where I first saw it. Same company as the one I linked.


I just don't understand how the arrow would be stabilized in flight without any vanes.
 
rmc85,

You're right: Not surprisingly, the PSE Tac 15 has taken a lot of grief on the internet. I'm told there is one video showing an "assault chainsaw" mounted to the rail of the Tac 15.

It's a pretty well-made piece of equipment with impressive performance, but you practically need a porter (gun bearer?) to haul it around and hold the front end up for you. It's really long.

I guess i'm kinda slow, but i'll admit it...i don't get it!

I can recognize a taste for oddball weapons, but other than that, what advantage over conventional firearms?

I wondered the same thing!

Really cool, but pretty amazingly pointless.
 
Ah, but apparently it does fire vaned arrows.

Depending on state laws, it might be possible to use it during archery season.

To some extent, who knows about the 49 states other than your own...but i doubt it.
