A Weapon That's Half-Shotgun, Half-Bow? Here's the Video!

It's a weapon combination so outlandish that some have called it the "craziest weapon mashup" they've ever seen. Others don't believe it is real and some who do believe it find it "cool but pointless." It's a combined compound bow and shotgun.

A YouTube video shows a man testing out the hybrid. Check it out:

In the comments, some question the recoil because his elbow didn't bend.

Although how this item was made is not specified, Every Day No Days Off's gun blog (via Neatorama) has an idea on how these two weapons could have been put together:

It looks to me like there’s some type of plunger at the back of the shotgun, which is likely in contact with the firing pin. The cable then whacks that and… BOOM.

What are your thoughts on this weapon? Let us know in the comments.
