Just to clarify, these are "off-brand" oem versions of the Buzz Bee Power Bow (named the Super Arrows), other than different brand stickers, foam arrow colour and grip material, both versions are identical in overall design and operation.
The is a compact blaster that uses a spring plunger mechanism without trigger lock (like the classic Nerf Bow n' Arrow). Just load in the foam arrow, pull back the rear handle and release to fire. For best performance, this blaster is designed to be aimed at a higher trajectory, like a bow. Range is around 25+ feet.
It's arms can be extended or folded for easy portability. Note that the bow strings are only for mock effect, they don't affect the firing power.
One more thing... the Super Arrows is actually compatible with Nerf foam darts too! :)

Btw, in the video, i didn't hold the front handle grip so as to provide a clearer view of the foam darts. :)
These short bows actually remind me of those compact recurve bows used by mongol raiders on horseback!
