[Guymullins]

I would say that this device, with no barrel, would be considerably less deadly than a conventional broad head shot from the same bow. Without a barrel to confine the hot gasses and allow time for the expansion of these gasses to speed the bullet on its way, the result is a recipe for flesh wounds. The advertising material suggest that it can be used on quite large animals is probably overstating the effectiveness as well as being inhumane. After all, few people would go hunting an elk with a .38 pistol in the first place.
