This is impressive

Well done. Very instructive

I ain’t slow or nothin but them some nice lookin rocks

Long live the Bassetja Balear. The most versatile, simple and potent range weapon of the past.

Don’t tell Americans about the lead weight, they will sht bricks in fear. They have discovered it again in 2024 and now are panicking over it on tik tok lmao. This is hilarious ngl, they seem to think it will kill them overnight 😂😂

POV of coyotes that enter my yard

Bible?

How many years have you been practicing, to achieve such accuracy?😍

That was awesome

I am somehow kinda uncomfortable that there is someone quite obviously training to nutshot people in his free time

This technique is going to make my next game of Lawn Darts way more interesting!

I like how you mentioned that Romans preferred heavier stones as anti-armor. While a stone 1/4 the mass and traveling twice as fast as a heavier stone will have similar kinetic energy, that energy is dependent on a direct hit (nice direct hit on that face, err melon). Any deflection can result in the projectile glancing off and keeping some of its kinetic energy as it continues to travel. Your practical experiments have been fantastic, thanks!

Спасибо, весьма познавательно! Особенно интересно было знать энергию метаемого снаряда. Как то я охотился на рыбу в диких местах, в воду рядом со мной один за другим упали два камня, я оглянулся вокруг и ни кого не заметил вокруг. Через неделю я опять был в том месте и с холма увидел как практикуется в метании камней из пращи, строитель узбек (недалеко строили коттедж). Тогда я понял, кто подшутил надо мной и распугал мою рыбу.

Imagine if you a low to decently armored footman and walks in a middle of sling stone rain 😂

14:24 KILLED HIM AND ATE HIM

Who would have thought that getting hit in the skull with a rock would hurt?

The stone cast at 3:43 hit the target in the groin! He shot it right into the targets balls! I'm pretty sure that any armor of the period wouldn't have helped much either.

Totally Awesome Video !!! Great job

Excellent tutorial script thanks

Brings new meaning to the term "Rock Chucker" 😮

Bro has barely 30k subscribers, almost never uploads, but when he does... God damn you know it's going viral.

...and can be blocked by a loose blanket

Those would certainly crown one's cranium.

Great VDO • Excellent aim!

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXW2d2OcrrpmbaMsi=kSYnJKSDAkGfltN0 this guy is a beast with the sling

during my back then obligatory military service a guy from Málaga tought me and other friends how to make and use a sling. I instantly loved it. I learn by myself you can use any strap or belt between 3-5cm wide, not as accurate but works

The helmet might save your life but the head ache would make you wish you were dead.

7:35 that was graphic!

I never realized what a whipping you could put on someone with a Balearic sling. Halfway between a bullwhip and a riding crop.

Ah yes the sling and slingshot, no one has ever heard of that before. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

totally agree ... i had little idea just how effective this simple , famous and very underestermated this weapon actually was .... thanks

Plumbata dont scare me, but a guy brave enough to wear a dress, that's pure highland

Wounded on the battlefield with a steel helmet smash clamped to you broken skull, hadn't occurred to me that was a thing!

"Don't waste food" 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Goliath downvoted this.

골리앗이 다윗에게 왜 죽었는지 알게됐습니다.

Nice

The most Overrotted mind is the one that uses the word "underrated."

They'd certainly tickle if you got one in the face.

I suspect that using a sling is not as easy as it looks and a long learning curve is involved......wonder how well it would work against modern composite helmets?...poorly I suspect..

David knocked Goliath senseless with the sling stone, but ultimately actually killed Goliath by cutting off his head with the giants own sword. And David had 4 other stones for Goliath's brothers if needed!.

David was ruthless omg

I need a place with such perfect stones.

Would love to see what an MLB pitcher could do with one of these.

7:28 ex-watermellon

Wow, they bury themselves a lot! Well done with your perseverance!

Fantastic accuracy! Thanks.

I learned to use many weapons and training since I was 8 and practiced with slings and rock throwing. Bullets may run out and rocks are pretty deadly. Thank you so much for sharing your video. It rocked!

A most underrated weapon indeed.

A variable that is hard to illustrate in this type of test is that the watermelon "head" is not attached to a neck, so it is free to roll out of the way as energy is transferred. A projectile hitting a human carries injury potential beyond the damage done to the armour and to a lot more critical human anatomy as energy is transferred into the neck and spine. Of course, if you just took that rock in the teeth you wont be caring much but the dents in the helmet can only tell part of the story.
