Now is not quite the time to be reaching for your wallet.

Yes, fun to read specs.

But about the same muzzle energy as a heavy slingshot.

Get back to me when you are in the neighborhood of 2200 fps.

A joule is not a unit of force.

a “dual Clamped Quasi-Resonant Inverter.”

Nobody needs a dual Clamped Quasi-Resonant Inverter to hunt deer...

A large caliber air gun would make more sense.

That’s what instantly caught my attention. 200fps? A bb gun might have better specs.

Nope. Never buy first gen electronics.

Remember when 15” flatscreen monitors were $2,000 in 1998 ?

Now you can get one that is 75” and have $$ left for an hdmi cable

Arcflash's rifle measures 38 inches in length with a barrel length of 26 inches, weighs 20 pounds...

OK, I get it now. You stalk your victim, shoot it in the butt, wait for it to turn around to see what happened, and club it to death...

I always carry a one pound magnet in my pocket that I can take out and throw at a bear 75 get away. That way I don’t have anything heavy in my pocket when I run away.

200fps? Another product for the more money than brains crowd.

Make a great party favor at the Zero’s birthday party.

The company says the weapon is “capable of accelerating any ferromagnetic projectile (under 1/2″ in diameter) to 200+ fps [feet per second]”

My Red Ryder had better ballistics than this thing.
