Crossbows may be eclipsed by this one

[32-40win]

I can well imagine the debates that will occur over this one, muzzle loader with an arrow adaptor, 385fps;

There is a vid here of how it goes together, slow to load this page, is an understatement, on their page on FB also.

No debate here......unless someone chimes in and starts the poop storm a brewing:)

Crossbow would still be quieter. Reminds me of that co2 powered arrow rifle that came out last year. I imagine same rules would apply.

Ya there is some type of power cylinder used in it, I expect it may not work all that great in the cold, or at least lose some power. Seems to me I've seen this idea before, just don't remember when or where.

Thee is been a 10/22 retrofit barrel that shoots a bolt for quite a few years now.

If it uses a cartridge actuated device to propel the arrow it would be classed as a firearm by definition.

Illegal in Saskatchewan.

Actually in Alberta the speed has to surpass 500fps to be a firearm. Not defined by a cartridge.

1. Air guns that are firearms for purposes of both the Firearms Act and the Criminal Code
These are air guns with both a high muzzle velocity (greater than 152.4 metres or 500 feet per second) and a high muzzle energy (greater than 5.7 joules or 4.2 foot-pounds). The "muzzle velocity" is the speed of a projectile at the instant it leaves the muzzle of a gun, normally expressed in metres per second or feet per second. The "muzzle energy" is the energy of a projectile at the instant it leaves the muzzle of a gun, expressed in joules or foot-pounds. Air guns need to meet both standards to be classified as firearms for purposes of the Firearms Act.
