Possible airbow repeater being developed using the Impact platform

[Mod90]

I was browsing the web tonight & stumbled across this contraption, its still in its R&D stages, but looks like it might be something someone could be interested in.



So, what are you guy thoughts about this contraption. I find it looks like overkill, but I know some people may find it desirable.

very interesting

Novel, but whats the point ?
If game hunting the REPORT these arrow guns make when shot ... what ever you missed is long gone for any follow up attempt.

Yea ... make it and they will come is true enough.

 No quiver needed.

How are they going to get this to work , when the impact isn't reliable enough as it is shooting pellets ? Another example of "just because you can , doesn't mean you should" .

A few things come that comes to my mind! Cool concept, looks awesome, bad idea
Too many exposed razor blades to hurt yourself or others with or hunting damage the points. Isn't that is why archery guys carry the arrows in a quiver right.

Quivers are used for carrying arrows. There are broad-head covers that are used to cover only the heads, and there are also cases so heads can be carried separately, safely off the arrows until they are needed.

While the airbow is still a relatively new concept in the sport of air propelled weapons, to me personally this thing just screams bad idea.
It's been a while since FX released their first arrow guns, & now with more companies coming out with their own versions of arrow shooting air guns such as the Benjamin airbow & more recently the bolts for the Dragon Claw .50 cal, I suppose someone thinks it might be time for FX to up the ante in that dept.


All in all, IF I were in the market for a gun that could shoot arrows, I'd take a Dragon claw any day of the week over this new concept. Hands down, no reservations. It's simply a better concept, in that it'll shoot both bolts & bullets out the same barrel.
