WTF?!
There's nothing "tactical" about a crossbow, and there's nothing "assault" about 412 fps. [laugh]
Just when you thought you couldn't be anymore like Rambo... then some tool comes out with this.

Be careful what you wish for.
Silent. Put on a night scope. Watch out neighborhood varmints. ;D
Pre-order placed!!!
My dad has had shoulder replacement surgery and thus is legal to hunt deer in Minnesota with a cross bow. Funny how he thought my AR was a foolish purchase when I bought it.
Well done! Curious as to what actual $$ ends up being.
400+fps is sizzlin fast!
Post a review when it arrives.

If he even allows me to touch it. Of course, since I'm building the rifle it will be used on, I guess he better let me test it first.

Har har har!
If I do, it will be because I f**ked something up building the lower.

Huh what? If you don't have shoulder problems what are allowed to hunt with? Only a bow? I'm not familiar with this "hunting" thing. I get all my meat on a Styrofoam tray wrapped in plastic.

Minnesota has 3 different Deer hunting seasons. Rifle, Muzzleloader, and Archery.
The archery season is for Bow only, unless you are handicapped or have a medical condition that prevents you from being able to properly use a standard bow, then you can get a permit to use a crossbow.
My dad hunted with bow for years, but now that he's 74, it's a bit tough to draw the bow. He could have always used a crossbow, but didn't want to. It wasn't until about 5 years ago when his doctor advised it that he started using a crossbow.
That is really cool
right up to the point it attaches to an AR lower
Lame
What makes it "lame" in your expert opinion?

In my "expert" opinion
picatinny rail = tacticool = Lame
why you gotta harsh my opinion mang?
Why ya gotta bag the man's choice of weaponry? Why ya gotta bag on picatinny rails??
Nothing wrong with tacticool, I like the industrial looking bits! Not easy (or cheap) being a gadget hound. [thumbsup]

Cuz you aint gunna carry that on your back when you are doing the silent thing

Calling that tactical is a marketing manipulation to sell it to this guy

What about muzzle flash? Dont want it to give away your position. Especially if theres only one high value target to take out.
Isnt all marketing manipulative? Im a sucker for CF, does that make me "that guy" of bikes?? Probably!
It still blows my mind that you can order all sorts of crossbows, etc. online and yet it is illegal for me to own nunchaku ("nunchucks"), even though I am a martial arts instructor. :-\
Are we really still discussing this?

Really? I thought that only instructors were allowed to buy. I think the reasoning is that you aren't going to hide a crossbow while the nunchaku can be hidden in your jacket pocket... sorta... The difference is that I can't accidentally kill someone 10' away from me with a pair of nunchaku. Well, I guess I could but it's much less likely than with a crossbow.

We can have them in the class, but I can't have them at home for practicing on my own. And I'm more likely to hurt myself than anyone else with the nunchaku. ;)

OK, since I started this thread, I'm going to add something else equally as awesome. Check out the Magpul Industries FMG9:
Looks like a mild mannered flashlight...
