As good as editing and special effects software is now, it’s hard to tell if this is the real deal or not. But there’s definitely a Real Men of Genius commercial in here somewhere. Sure, there are easier ways to touch off a shot shell primer, and some people will look at a contraption like this, shake their heads and ask why. Others look at it and ask why not. Which side are you on? [h/t thegunwire.com]
I’d be more impressed if he nocked the shotty and launched it. Now that would be reeeeeeealy stoopid.
I was expecting some sort of shotshell explosive-tipped arrow contraption, set off by the force of impact.
Very lame. A highly unstable zip gun. Accident waiting to happen. The bow alone is a far more effective weapon. Guess that puts me in the “Why?” category.
Aiming a bow and a shotgun are different. This seems like a good way to confuse all of the relevant sense learning (feel) for both, making the shooter worse at both.
And talk about trigger creep…
I am a big fan of “because we can” engineering, but even I am squarely in the “why?” camp on this one.

+1 more for: “Ugh, why?”
Definotely looks like “hold my beer and watch this” engineering.
OMG that is ridiculous! Looks like an accident waiting to happen.
