Some folks like to hunt.  Some like to fish.  Others like both with equal fervor.  But they rarely do both on the same afternoon because carrying all that gear just isn't fun.   Not so with the Pack-Rifle, a lightweight shoulder firearm that also doubles as a fishing pole.  Really.

Made by Mountain View Machine & Welding, the cleverly designed recreational equipment isn't only multi-purpose, it's easy to bring along, too.  Taken down, it measures just 17 inches long, allowing you to fit it into a backpack with plenty of space to spare.  Assembly and disassembly takes just two seconds each.

The Pack-Rifle is a bolt-action utility rifle that weight just 0.97 lbs.  It's only single-shot, so you'll have to reload every time you miss, so if you get frustrated at your utter lack of accuracy, you can easily throw in the kit to turn it into a fishing pole instead (maybe you'll have better luck catching with bait).  Attach the reel to the pistol grip, plug the telescopic pole into the stock, hook on the cables, and you've got yourself a perfectly functional tool for snaring piranhas.

Most of the rifle's components are machined from high-strength aluminum, with stainless steel and carbon fiber used for some parts.  This allows the ridiculous sub-pound weight, while managing to be highly weather-resistant.  It uses .22 LR caliber ammo.

If you like your guns with accessories, they're selling laser mounts and scope mounts sized for the Pack-Rifle, as well, so you can look all badass while taking the weekend off to do hunting and fishing.  It's available now for $425.

Can't you hunt and fish with a shotgun?

Can't you attach a rod to an AR?

Don't know much about this item, but I suspect it might be like other dual purpose products.

Most do a poor job at either one of their functions. 
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

A mini-14 works pretty darn well for fishing in the shallows also.....not that I would know or anything....um, er....yeah.

Once saw a guy out in the woods stark nekid running along the bank of a creek blasting away with his shotgun into the water.  His story was that he tried to grab a huge salmon making the fall spawning run and that it was so big and strong that when he grabbed it, it flipped him into the water.  He had taken his clothes off to dry while he pursued the offending fish with his shotgun.
