It's called a 'woodland survival flipper' It's an arrow launcher reminiscent of the old WWII OSS mini crossbows.

I didn't watch all 8+ minutes of the video, but what sold me was how it looks when collapsed. That would be a SWEET item to have in your camping gear! Not just for hunting, fishing, or survival, but for simple and quiet shooting fun with family on the camp grounds.
