  • that's awesome! do u consider to start selling them at some stage?

  • @gorelik75 Nope.

  • Man, you can make a Crossbow-Like Slingshot with that. How about make one I've seen almost all your video but none I see is pull by the trigger e.g. the airgun you converted is still Pull and Release but not with a gun trigger or is it ILLEGAL in in your country?

  • Trigger based slingshots may be illegal in Germany (there is some dispute about this issue, though). But anyway a crossbow slingshot makes little sense. Rubber tires out very quickly when you keep it drawn out. You have to draw and release in one quick motion. A loaded crossbow with rubber as the "engine" would loose 50% power after 1 minute already.

  • can u show use hows its made pls coz i love it so much

  • Well, you need welding gear and a lathe, plus the skills to operate the equipment. But I guess if you would be in that position, you would not need any explanations.

  • whwre do you buy ruber bands

  • that's an invention--same as your W slingshot is an invention---you get patent and make some big bucks from some company that produces your ideas man

  • @JoergSprave What about rubber spearguns??

  • I envision a similar concept using vise-grips pliers.

    Joerg, thanks for all of your videos. It has been an excellent resource for me during my build(s). The use of a single band in your "V" model is excellent. It equalizes the energy over the entire band. Keep up the good work.

  • Love the way you look at the cam after you have done a shot. Reminds me of a cross between the incredible hulk and Neanderthal man! :P

    Should have my first slingshot arriving today, one you reviewed in a later video, the ergo 2 hunter. Give me a week and I'll be looking as mean as you or like a complete sissy haha!

  • @zomgbbqwth not needed. the ball is under enough force to be pulled up and against the pouch and opening and of the release

  • i want one!
