Looks like it should be called an assault crossbow. You can bet that was the intent of the designer. Good or bad, that's for the anti's to decide. I'm sure the vented arm guard is necessary! Does look cool though.

From personal experience I can vouch that it IS necessary. Got thumb slapped TWICE by the bowstring on my original Termiantor. (Man that hurts!) That's likely why they made the forearm on the second randition of the Terminator so much bigger. (And not particularly appealing, IMO). This vented version is a long way from the deck, there is seemingly no way one can get any portion of the hand up onto the deck....if one hold onto the forearm while shooting.
