I think the bolts were going faster than the camera speed.

I thought it was funny but not too far fetched .

They already make a holder for compounds that have a 2nd arrow ready for a 2nd shot .

If it can be imagined, somebody will build it. Actually, I found a couple more versions of U-Tube strange things that they are doing with crossbows ... there seems to be no limit. It may be an old historic weapon, but it just now has received the financial momentum to get some R&D attention. What you are seeing on U-Tube are simply prototypes for a long line of future innovations. It is a wonderful platform to build off of. Just from mechanical curiosity, I would love to see how these things work. It's kind of ingenious.
