No, he was arrested because it was deemed to be lethal.

There is no way this thing is actually lethal in any reasonable definition of "lethal firearm". Maybe if you bludgeon someone with it.

If you shoot with this thing from, let's say from 5 meters to the head, is there a decent risk of dying? If yes, it most definitely is lethal.

As much risk as throwing a rock from that distance, most likely. So no, probably not lethal.

Are slingshots illegal in Japan?
