Default Airbow?

I'm sure that by now most of yall had at least heard of the new Airbow. It's a pre charged pneumatic air rifle (PCP for those that are familiar with them), that fires a full length, full weight arrow or bolt, using the air power to launch them. According to the specs, if they're honest or close, 450 fps, 8 shots at full power/velocity until the tank needs to be pressurized again, and 2" guarantee at 50 yards. For those of us that are disabled, & have a hard time shooting a conventional long/recurve/compound bow, what do yall think? The tank is supposed to hold a 3,000 psi charge, which means either using the special high pressure manual portable pump, or filling it before the hunt with a special high pressure compressor. They are working to get it legal to hunt with in the different states now. Gimmick or legitimate hunting weapon? Would YOU get 1 if you were disabled?
