Slomo Destruction Fun with the Full Auto Slingshot

After the recent presentation of the "Full Auto" Gatling slingshot crossbow, The Slingshot Channel received many requests for a destruction video including High Speed camera material.

This video shows how Jörg Sprave shoots against an earthenware flowerpot and some wine bottles. The destruction is shown both in real time and in 40x slow motion.

Some recordings of the weapon's mechanism are also shown, in slow motion of course.

You could make a bigger wheel that holds maybe 24 shots or more. Mount the whole slingshot on a tripod for increased accuracy and make the crank handle longer for more leverage. You could probaly mount the whole thing on a really nice stand and make the wheel big enough to shoot 48 shots. That would be an awesome!! Your auto slingshot is cool the way it is but a 48 shot would be better :) Maybe I'm getting carried away. How far away will it shoot something?

@callscott1 Well, it took me long enough to make the eight shooter. Just making 48 band sets consumes a full weekend.

Wieso hat die Slow Motion Kamera nicht so eine gute Qualität?

Du bist deutscher oder? :)

[JoergSprave]

@BavariaKing Ja, gebürtiger Dortmunder, wohne aber jetzt in Oberfranken. Die Slomo Cam ist Hobby Grade (1000 Euro Casio EX-F1Pro), für eine richtige HD Slomo Cam reicht mein Budget nicht.

GATLING SLINGBOW someone do it

[GarciaJavier88]

That was completely awesome. If there is anything to do to improve the slingshot is to improve the shape of the gears so the teeth don't collide as much.

Would shifting each band one tooth (On your side, not the side where the projectile comes out) compensate for the rotating of the wheel and cause it to be more accurate? Right now it looks like they all get a bit of sideways motion (Especially the later shots, it's not so much for the first). Just a thought : )

@JoergSprave would it be possible to make a smaller group of slingshots inside the bigger one to increase the amount of rounds?

[TacoDude314]

@JoergSprave what about a 16

[BonesTheCat]

Really cool.
