AR-15 “Assault” Crossbow upper: PSE TAC 15
Words fail me. First there was the blackpowder AR, then the Chainsaw AR …
AR 15 lower receiver, 170lbs built in easy cocking mechanism 3 rails. 425 grain arrow 420 fps. TAC 15 Tactical Assault Crossbow
I think this finally ends the 5.56mm vs. 6.8mm vs. 7.62mm debate. Clearly a 425 grain bolt beats them all!
Actually “tactical” crossbows have been around for a long time. Special forces were known to use them as weapons or as zip line launchers. I would be surprised if they are still in use as weapons.

Wow, that looks like it can cause some serious damage. Big game better watch out.
Man that is cool. Slightly flawed for where i live in the UK though as i can buy a crossbow with no license whereas if i wanted that id need a firearms license to buy the ar15 lower first
i would love to see that with the chainsaw bayonet…

This thing looks like sombody trashed a perfectly good shooting AR-15 and jerryrigged it in to a crossbow? I would rather be shooting bullets than bolts. (Know what i’m say’in) and I’m sure the thing is rather combersome and awkward with 10 lbs. of crossbow at the end of the rifle. Fun concept or show peice for the local gun shop but nothing to grab the checkbook over.
I’m going to buy this and replace the AR I traded for a Honda Goldwing. Looking at the 6.5 by Stag. I must have the Tac-15 with this, as my dad needs something like this to hunt with. I bought a new bow last year and would love to be out there with him hunting, this will give him that chance. It really looks like a lot of fun to shoot. I will shoot it in the muzzel season as well, I never liked black powder. This wiil put me in that season with something that will have my hunting camp talking all year. I can’n wait I’m grabbing my check book.
