I am guessing by just the video it has a mechanism in the head that works like a firing pin or an arrow bang stick?
If it is that silent, I think it must have something to do with the penetration of the bullet before it is striked by the firing pin.
That leaves me to wonder three things.

#1. If the animal itself is animal itself is acting like a silencer by containing the rapidly expanding gas. What does that do to the flavor of the meat?

#2. How reliable the firing mechanism?

#3. Could it be used on public land, since some areas have regulations for what kind of bow tip you can use

Other than that. . . It looks pretty amazing

1. The animal is not a silencer the expanding gas would blow out the rear. It is a blunt tip so there would be no penatration!

2. Reliable as needed because it is a one time use. It would blow apart after one use.

3. There is no regulations for what kind of tip just when you could use it Archery is out of the question

Ok... But wouldn't the bullet still make a noise then????? Also if there is no penetration and the gas blows out the rear, the force is exerted on the casing and not the lead. I don't see how it could be that damaging then?
I am not trying to argue, I just really don't understand.

I can't find anything for Florida, but many states have those rules. .
Here is Ohio for instance.

Archery Season min. draw weight 40 lbs., includes compound and recurve bows. The arrow tip shall have a minimum of two cutting edges which may be exposed or unexposed minimum 3/4 inch width. Expandable and mechanical broadheads are legal. Poisoned or explosive arrows are illegal.
