Jfoster99 80 Posted June 1, 2014 Seem these for the first time at Sportsmansguide.com. You place a .357 on the tip of your arrow and it is designed to go off on contact.. Why isn't this classified as a firearm? I would think it is an AOW.. Like a pen gun / ring gun, ect.. Other then that it is also very cool.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Respect2A 0 Posted June 1, 2014 Seems a little front heavy. I saw these the other day and thought about how much fun I would have had as a kid with those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illy 1 Posted June 1, 2014 Sorry, but that seems completely dumb. Just setting off the primer will cause a small pop and not much else. A bullet gets it's power from traveling through a tight barrel while the powder burns and the gas pressure builds. See for instance: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael2013 56 Posted June 1, 2014 Sorry, but that seems completely dumb. ... Agree, just a waste of ammo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MidwestPX 172 Posted June 1, 2014 Not a firearm because a projectile isn't being propelled by the expansion of gases. If these tipped arrows were classified as firearms, a loaded round would also be considered a firearm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeerSlayer 241 Posted June 1, 2014 They sell them at a local sporting goods store by me. But honestly I feel they are useless. I would take a quality broad head traveling over 300fps than this thing. The hunting laws in NJ are pretty clean cut about what arrow points are legal and these don't qualify. I could get a brick of firecrackers for less and have the same effect, noise. The reason I bow hunt is more than just the challenge, its also because its silent and doesn't alert everyone in the neighborhood to what im doing in a ghile suit in a small patch of woods between a few houses (legal distance from buildings of course). To me thats the best part about bow hunting. Although I agree with the above sediment, that having these when I was a young teenager woud have been fun. We used to tape .22lr bullets to the end of a BB gun barrel, I have a friend that still has a few pieces of brass casing in his forehead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handyman 5,682 Posted June 2, 2014 I just duct tape sticks of dynamite to my arrows like Bo and Luke Duke. Works for everything - deer, elephants, fishing, vehicles, light building demo, etc... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
