  • where do you make your ''sling/bands'' from?

  • I shot marbles with my slingshot and constantly hit my hand. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Thanks.

  • @ALEXGILL88 Bad frame design. Bands too weak. Wrong pouch release. Unsteady grip on frame. Bad pouch design. Bad luck.

  • You probably have the best hobby ever

  • what job do you have which allows you to make slingshots every day, cuz i want that job

  • @TheLast12die I only make slingshots on the weekend.

  • you could say 75 caliber rather than dot 75, might be more understandable to the American and Canadian viewers, just a thought.

  • was sind das für Assis die da im Hintergrund rumschreien!!!

  • joergan von strangle

  • love the look on your face after every shot, kinda makes me horny

  • do you shave your head before every video?

  • @BrasherN I shave my head once a week, usually on Saturday. It's been twenty years since I last used a comb :)

  • Not only are slingshots stealthy, but you can also find ammo on the ground almost everywhere.

    What is the longest lasting rubber or do all types of rubber last about the same ?

  • how do you tie the bands on so they dont come off when you pull it back? thats my biggest fear of slingshots, being slapped in the face by one of the bands lol

  • hey joerg.

    have you heard about the monks that pierce a piece of glass by throwing a needle?

    i thought it might be fun to see a slingshot shooting a needle.

    just an idea...

  • Thanks, Bye Bye

  • Joerg this is your sexiest video to date, love your revealing jeans with your balls hanging on the side....Yummo....

  • Did osmeone cut your cheek with a knife sir the close up at the begining reveiled a huge gash on your sheek

  • @SirLohhan This cut is from my mercenary days, a long time ago :)

    Just kidding. An accident when I was four.

  • I guess the bonecrusher projectile is for close to mid-range targets. Any further would veer the projectile off course or fall short

  • Would you like to donate some tapered bands to my cause? :)

    Im broke :)

  • I would like to see the Bonecrusher ammo shot into a ballistics gelatine mold of a person with bones and organs inside like on the show Deadliest Warrior to see the real effect this ammo has on bones.

  • Is that theraband gold rubber?

  • @JoergSprave does that work for a wrist rocket?

  • you should try casting your own lead multi faceted ammo, I bet you could make some devastating projectiles.

  • At 3:10 does he say "Now its time for the brown crusher" LOL

  • were do you get the rubber

  • NICE

  • I'd rather take my chances facing a .45 than be hit in the head with that thing;)

  • @mike471100 Well, you'd be dead in both cases I guess...

  • @mike471100 If it's a pistol we are talking about, maybe you wouldn't die, because the bullet can get stuck... but it's a SMALL chance of that happening so, yeah, you're dead...

  • use paintballs

  • mmm... I'm thinking ninja star style washer with bolt and nuts???? Or something with 'teeth'? Great video, thanks!

  • mind your chin mate

  • A slingshot can shoot ammo in any shape, not just balls. lol :)

  • Hi Joerg, I'm a BIG fan of yours by the way. I notice that in almost all of your VDO, you have hardly mention about the "accuracy factor". You should always mention some thing about "accuracy", especialy with-in an effective range, ie 10 m., 20m.,....up to 50 m... I think these accuracy factor also mean alot to many of us rather than just the "raw power " alone :)

  • @hotpeng There are lots of slingshot videos about accuracy made by other youtubers. My specialty is power. I am not a target shooter, so that is simply not my specialty. My shooting distance ends at 20 meters, and I can hit a shoebox size target with every shot at that distance. Good enough for me.

  • Why aren't you a Youtube partner? ffs

  • @Sarickkk Because youtube declined my request. "Not family friendly". 

  • @JoergSprave

    and FPSrussia is?

  • @JoergSprave Hey Joerg, I was wondering have you ever used concrete balls i know they would be pretty light but maybe for target practice? I personally have used and hate to use rocks for target practice they are to sharp/uniform to really allow you to get good at target practice.

    I know you don't do that much target shooting but I just wanted to know your opinion on using concrete balls about 1/2 in/50cal?

    Thanks!, oh by the way love your vids there great!

  • @minibikerider1 Have never seen concrete balls, what are they used for? I use steel balls for practicing, you only need a few of them as they never break or deform. A good catchbox, stuffed with old T-shirts, and maybe fifty steel balls, and you are all set for years of practice.

  • @JoergSprave I would make a mold and pour in concrete to make ammo but you think I should just make a catch box and use steel balls, OK thanks Joerg thats will be what I do. (steel balls with catch box)

  • Are you Swedish? :3

  • @TheInsaneJaguar

    German.

  • @Breakneckhydra1 Oh, sorry I always get those two mixed up, im mostly German myself.

  • what ever happened to marbles

  • @mrniceguy5621 I leave those for the boys.

  • @JoergSprave im sorry im really a big fan but thats what iv'e been using for years

  • @JoergSprave But the would be cool to watch shatter in high speed.

  • wat r the bangs in the back ground?

  • Real men wear purple.

  • I've got 3 questions for you Jorg if you don't mind me asking

    1) Have you ever hit your hands with any ammo?

    2) What type of tree is that in your backyard to the right at :06

    3) What is your background? Seems like you're an engineer or sorts, I'd guess mechanical

  • Zombies stand no chance !

  • LoL, this guy doesn't need slingshots, any mugger would take one look at him and be like...Hell no fuck that.

  • the funny thing is in theory this is legal there are no laws i dont think with slingshots

  • how do you attach the rubber to your slingshots

  • i wouldn't call those bonecrushers, i would call them people killers

  • @iansmelly You could probably use those things to hunt wild boar. Make them any heavier and you got yourself a moose killer.

  • after you shoot you stand like superman and cristiano ronaldo (@ a freekick)

  • The camerawoman's your wife? No offense, but doesn't this sound like one of those generic joke punchlines you hear on tv? The one where people say: "That's no ________, that's my wife!"

  • where did you get the interest for slingshots, just curious

  • do you do any contests or stuff like that for slingshots?

  • Have you ever used the bonecrusher ammo on ballistic gelatin?

  • hmm, i might make some Bonecrushers for target practice, what is the order they go in? is it Nut,Washer,Washer,Nut?

  • Very nice house, Pool stick sling shot?

  • sprave im addicted to these videos and may have to go to rehab in a few month... keep up the good work :DDD

  • you are so awesome.. what country are you located in?

  • ist dir schonmal ein gummi gerissen und ins gesicht geklascht?

    hoffe nicht!

  • @2:52 i shit my pants

  • keine beleidigung, aber wenn du schießt, und NATÜRLICH triffst, siehst du ein bisschen aus wie ein wütender gorilla, aber nur im gesicht.

  • does it fly straight?

  • WAS? JÖRG IN HEMD STATT T-SHIRT??? omg

  • Have you calculated the foot pounds of energy you are getting?

  • lol @ 2:38 WEAK!

  • 2 people were hit with the bonecrusher xD

  • that is awsome !!!!!

  • haha dude your jacked :P

  • i like your smile when the Bonecrusher hit the target ^^

  • Nice. I want one. Start selling them. I take one

  • cool

  • i have 10 100 gram slingshot ammo i call them big daddys

  • These are by far the coolest, most professional and informative videos on slingshots. Very entertaining!!! Thank you Joerg. - You rock! By the way I use some very nasty ammo. I take car wheel weights (you can find them on the street everywhere) and cut them into square chunks with dikes. GNARLY!

  • Classic German engineering, perfect as always allways impresses me.

  • Ur the best man... Can u show how to make a sling shot that's really easy like a branch and some rubber bands I would really appreciate that

  • I really love the way you say "steel balls". You accent is amazing haha

  • You could also take acrylic spheres and fill them with bb's for a shotgun effect. Once they impact they would break open releasing the bb's. They can also be filled with gunpowder and small spark rocks for explosive ammo.

  • @frankcoffee im sorry but none of that would work. the shotgun effect would just be a large ball that breaks open, but not of the balls would actually continue motion and impact the target, and the gunpowder and spark rocks. im not even going to get into that.

  • @Iizmstrcheef unless it breaks apart in the air

  • nice job. is that a homade sling? thankxs for the turn on.

  • were you like in millitary or police or something

  • Riesen Hütte scheinst zu haben;)

    Und nen Cooles Hobby auch wenn mir persönlich Gun-Power immernoch lieber is.

  • are paintballs good ammo?

  • What happened to your face, how did you get that scarr?

  • DA BOOAAN CRAUSHAW!!!!!

  • the slomo shots remind me of Christmas for some reason hmm, i wonder why.

  • lol try transcribe audio 4 this

  • You should start fighting Crime. No Joke, Make a constume and become a vigilante

  • What native accent is that? just wondering

  • how do hex nuts do when filled with lead? another great vid man.

  • have you ever been hunting with the bone crusher ?

  • can you do a damage video with the bonecrushers against harder targets like plywood or sheet aluminium

  • hey i just made a sling shot like the one that looks like like that one and shoots very good i killed a turkey in the face and eat it i made the bone crusher and killed the turkey with it thanks alot joerg and nice video

  • who films the video?

  • My wife.

  • @JoergSprave Oh i bet she is lovley.

  • @JoergSprave hey guess what! Im 12 and watching ur videos make me want a slingshot..and GUESS WAHT!! IM GETTING ONE TOMMOROW! :) thanks alot!

  • @JoergSprave ur house look really beautiful u have alot of windows

  • @JoergSprave You are a lucky man.

  • you should shot balistics gelatin with thiese "bonecrushers". I allways wonder, what is worse to vital organ... deep penetration or good impact? Like screwdriver or hammer...

  • I think he should shoot a brick

  • Judas Priest! I'd hate to get hit in the ass my that mo fo!

  • Do you plan on any ballistic gelatin testing with this bonecrusher shot? I'm curious if it would penetrate less than a round ball due to it's increased surface area.

  • I know these arent bows. but I wonder what the draw weight is on that sling shot?

  • About 45 lbs. Which is quite a lot for a slingshot, remember the pouch and ball is much harder to hold, and the wrist strain is also a factor.

  • use fishing leads :B dono is it come to mind

  • LOL... That grin on your face after you launched that Bonecrusher... Absolutely priceless!

  • What is the purpose and function of these slingshots?

    When I was a kid I'd run around like a moron and try to hit trees, rocks, and little animals etc. But now that I'm grown up I can't see a reason why a grown-ass man would want to use these.

  • You could ask the same of any sport or pure entertainment medium. Some people also use them for hunting food (whether that's a good or bad thing to be doing is debatable and seperate). I don't understand why a grown man would want to run 'round a field with a load of other men and a ball-but it's popular and relatively harmless so what the heck:)

  • Your analogy is flawed.

    Men who play pro sports get paid ridiculous amounts of money to do so. What does this have to do with slingshots?

    Also, the acceptability of people doing one thing doesn't necessitate the validity of other people doing something else. ^_^

  • I believe that JoergSprave makes slingshots for two reasons: 1) its fun (and really that's all the reason one needs) and 2) to prove that slingshots are NOT just kids toys. See his hunting kit for example.

    Everyone needs a hobby, and unless it hurts someone there is no reason to complain. Or do you disagree? Personally I cannot imagine how boring life would be if the only reason to do things was because it would make me money or whatnot.

  • Why do you assume pro-sports? Never heard of people doing a sport for fun, 5-a-side football, Sunday league. Look at something like jet-skiing or water skiing, there are people who get paid for it sure, but that's not why the vast majority do it. The most obvious comparrisson would perhaps be archery, or target shooting, it's fun for some so those people want to do it to have fun...there's nothing wrong with that surely? Video games could also fit a similar category; but there's no excercise.

  • Also if you look at the time and work that JoergSprave puts into design then it is something of a mental stimulation hobby for him too. So some potential benfits (and remembering it's just a fun hobby): mental stimulation and thinking outside the traditional; hand-eye coordination; physical excercise; calming the nerves; potential to control pests/get food. Advangtages over similar hobbies: cheaper; more portable; less legal issues; ease of learning the basics. What are your objections?

  • @HumanStrategy I am a almost 50 and was into martial arts for very long time until I smashed my knee, sitting at home with a pipe & slippers watching that kids game that many of you think you know so much about yes boring fucking football.A game played by children, why as chidren you would want to play this pathetic game is beyond me and carry on playing it as an adult is even more pathetic. each to their own some think it's clever to kick a 10 inch ball into a target 12 ft wide & over 6 ft tall

  • "each to their own some think it's clever to kick a 10 inch ball into a target 12 ft wide & over 6 ft tall"

    You must not have read my comment. I address reasons for doing the activity (money) not the skill or "cleverness"involved. You are arguing with yourself.

    I find it surprising that some who is almost 50 would base his arguments on strawman fallacies. It appears you have some catching up to do. ^_^

  • @HumanStrategy I don't

  • Well, shooting slingshots is great fun! Come on, you are outdoors, you exercize a bit (without exhaustions), the cost is so low that it is downright ridiculous, and everything is perfectly legal.

    Also, no kid can draw out my strongest slingshots, believe me.

  • @JoergSprave I was having a go at Human strategy he was the one who said why would a grown -ass man want to play with these.All I was trying to say was football was a game played by children but many carry on playing into adulthood, he obviously sees slingshots as a kids toy and something you do only as a child well I see football in the same way Something you played as a kid.

  • nice 5/5

  • How does the washer effect the trajectory?

  • Seems to have no effect at all. Remember the things fly slow and are very heavy. This leads to a very straight flight, wind and so on has no influence either.

  • interesting ammo...how do they fly over a slightly longer distance?..say 10 to 12meters

  • They fly staright, but 15 meters is the effective limit.

  • Is there a way to shoot many projectiles at the same time? Like a shot gun load? this is something I've always wondered about with sling shots. Thanks

  • Yes, you have to use a shaped (cupped) pouch. But this isn't effective, the individual projectile would be very weak.

  • Impressive result and wonderfull slingshot yet again. The big smile at 3:23 says it all :-) Good work 5stars

  • you have an absolutely beautiful home.

    the billiards table looks wonderful. another great video by joerg!!

  • Just sold the house! Will move to a new home 500 km southeast.

  • @JoergSprave

    why did you sold the house

  • @DUBSTEPADDICT111 My job moved, so did I.

  • @JoergSprave Hey Joerg, so what's the name of this Dankung Slingshot? Looks like a Dankung, crazy shots man lol. They look devastating!

  • I always like all the creative, inventive stuff you come up with. The bone crusher looks deadly because of the washer, it could slice the target. I would like to see it used on a piece of 3/4 inch plywood. I bet it would stick into the wood with the edge of the washer.

  • are you kidding me!? Joerg could probably shoot right through the ply wood

  • Good! Then let him put 2 pieces of 3/4 inch plywood and post the vid. lol

  • Another great video, it's nice to see you have fun with your hobby instead of taking it so serious, like some people do.

  • Outstanding.

  • yay you left the tree alone lol

  • congratz you made a extremly painfull

    lethal object :P

    are you going to hunt big game with it???

    hahhhahaha:P

  • Yes, I will try to hunt down the largest "wolpertinger" out there!

    A 400 pound rabbit with 16-end antlers and 1 meter tusks.

  • do they live in germany?

    i live in holland and never seen one

    and keep in mind you must kill the animal

    in one shot if not try to kill the animal as fast you can

    or else you are torturing the animal very very hard

  • Just type "Wolpertinger" into wikipedia!

  • The Wolpertinger is a FICTIONAL animal said to inhabit the alpine forests of Bavaria in Germany.

  • You got it. I am no hunter and shoot at dead things only, except when I am under attack. Which never happened so far.

  • I must ask, why is that? surely there must be pests that need taking care of, although I imagine an air rifle would be more effective against such things.

  • The last time I killed a mouse the cats brought in, I felt miserable for days. I guess I am too soft hearted for that stuff.

  • Yes well, that's nothing to be ashamed of, people like different things for different reasons. I was just wondering why you have all these marvelous devices, of which only a very select few have been designed for hunting. Look forward to more vids!

  • Is that like the Chupacabra in Latin American folklore? They say its some ugly, weird creature that sucks on the goats blood. They use this creature to scare kids, but I don't think that's nice or healthy to mentally traumatize a child.

  • Chupacabra is a weapon we created to kill off the mexican population by eating their babies, its not working very well so now we reconsider alcohol prohibition to counter them since procreation with mexican women is impossible without liquor

  • Very awesome Joerg as always but I can't help but think that the bonecrusher would be very inaccurate.

  • Why? Slingshot bullets fly so slowly that the shape does not matter. They always fly straight.

  • I suppose you're correct - excuse me for my many years playing paintball and studying the ballistics involved at higher fps. I pack a slingshot in my shtf bag for small game hunting - whilst the bonecrusher would certainly pack a punch with something larger I have an inkling it just wouldn't help my aim and distance. Regardless, slingshots are primarily for fun and I don't think you've ever failed in that regard. Keep up the innovative ideas.

  • Love the slow motion shots!

  • Loved the smile on your face. Muskets and early rifles could only handle low pressure charges. To compensate, a heavy and large diameter projectile compensated. Although of limited practical range due to a rainbow trajectory, the relatively massive projectiles often prove more effective than modern flat shooting rifles using fast and smaller projectiles. The .45-70 with a 400g bullet at 1,300fps is a better bear stopper than a .30-06 with a 180g bullet at 2,600fps. Size matters :O)

  • Heute ist der Jörg ja mal richtig chic gekleidet ^ ^

    Aber warum ist die Bildqualität so schlecht?

  • Weil Du sehr früh dran bist. YOutube braucht immer ein paar Stunden, bis ein FullHD-Video ordentlich umgerechnet ist. Steht auch oben drüber.

  • Nice idea. Have you ever tried to use lead to increase the weight of those balls?

  • The bullets are already very heavy and fairly slow. More weight means LESS energy, even for this powerful slingshot.

  • Now you should shoot some "bone crushers" at ballistic gelatin in slomo. That would be awesome.

  • @Krazy86ss i second that

  • Then check out "Sling-X-Bow vs. Ballistic Gelatin", I shot the bonecrusher into the gelatin at the end of the vid, just for you guys.
