The Most Awesome Thing You'll See Today...

A crossbow that fires machetes.

It's essentially a giant slingshot that flings machetes blade-first. I see no way this could possibly go wrong. I do have to admit, I really like the inventor's raison-d'etre:

“What is it good for? Nothing except attracting people’s attention on YouTube.”
Well, that and for raining machetes down on zombies - bet it'd be great for that!

That is all.

Hat tip to Unc for the link!

My golf ball onager suddenly seems...inadequate.

Kittery Trading Post has a massive broadhead, I am tempted to make a ballista bolt with it and a ballista to shoot it. I bet it could also launch machetes in a pinch...

Already banned in Mass. as an "assault weapon" no doubt :P

If they only had them on the Eastern Front history would have been different.

But that idiot Adolf wanted King Tiger tanks and jet fighters.

Why do I want one? It's not like you could carry enough machetes to keep it fed. The reload time is slow. The range is short.

But want one I do.

Is it just me or does he sound just like one of Robin Williams' character voices?
