Slingshot Of Mass Destruction

Slinghshots are powerful weapons. But there is a limit to their destructional capabilities, as the speed of rubber is limited - and so is the speed of the ammo.
A big steel ball like the 20 mm (.79") ones used in this video will crash though wooden boards, watermelons, even coconuts. But imagine what a simultaneous impact of six of them can cause!

The Slingshot Channel presents "The Avalaunche" - the first slingshot crossbow that shoots six rounds at the same time.

The weapon is big and has an enormous draw length. This means the six balls hit with about 60 Joules each. Enough power to demolish several objects! As always the video contains slow motions recorded at 40x realtime (1200 fps).

@vgdhdfhfghh Rufus Hussey passed away in '94. I never met him, but they say that whenever a white cloud dissolves against a blue sky, it is old Rufus shooting his slingshot in heaven.

why not you try accuracy of slingshot...

[JoergSprave]

@hanapirokman Accuracy is overrated :) Seriously, a slingshot is 100% accurate, it all comes down to the shooter.

@reebuu74 So I take it you are afraid of Neanderthals, armed with slingshots? I find that pretty revealing.
