Hi

[@GoGunCo]

Zack Mapstone hello 👋

[@Rokos_Basilisk]

You should look into selling his instant legolas.

[@Zack-nd8ef]

@@GoGunCo still strong 👍

[@GoGunCo]

jasehappybricks will be selling it soon!

[@nappa0582]

"I am an arms dealer" Have my Thumbs Up. Just take it, I don't need it.

[@GoGunCo]

Hey Tony Stark got his start selling weapons, too. Whatever pays the bills!😂

[@Arphemius]

Really love Joerg, glad to see his creation getting around.

[@TraceOran]

So what you are telling me is... we can support Megabots and Joerg buy buying weapons? I'm sold!

[@herbderbler1585]

Every now and then a situation comes along where everyone gets to win. I was already considering getting one of these, and now I believe it is a sure thing.

[@daviddavidson2357]

Got the Adder and I have a few criticisms about it. 1 - The rail for the foregrip. A foregrip is supposed to be *gripped* not babied. The way the rail is designed (out of injection molded plastic with no supports, jutting out of the hand grip) I snapped the thing within 50 shots. I went to shoulder the bow quickly and *crack* the rail is gone. The only thing you can do at that point is replace the entire handgrip system, which isn't sold as a spare part. If the picatinny rail was either press fit with a dovetail cut in it so it could be replaced because the weakest point is gonna break then that would be a step up. Or it could be made from metal and replacable. 2- The lever pump action has too much slop. It can move to the side enough to cause it to not lock into place. As this holds the string this means that if you were in a situation where multiple shots were needed very quickly you've a chance of not seating it correctly and the entire assembly shoots forward with the string. I've not tried to fuck this up as much as possible but it could possibly, maybe cause an accidental discharge of an arrow. The solution to this is to either refine the tolerances and flare the bottom of the pistol grip so that hook almost always engages with the grip even if it's an eighth of an inch off center. Or a ratcheting system could be used when drawing back by having a ratchet system that locks the pump handle as it cocks the string. I'd love to see Joerg send a few of these off to ex-infantrymen around the world and ask them to put 20 shots through it per day in a high pressure training exercise. I imagine the two major issues would be these ones. Joerg has already shown how to remove the "safe on cock" system but I can't see these handling a beating, or someone who is trying to loose all six bolts as fast as possible. It's an amazing design. I love it. However I'd love to give my feedback to EK archery and Joerg. Joerg created the mag which is an *awesome* design, but the original design needs a few changes to make it more rugged. Good news is it's almost all polymer so you can 3d print your own fixes.

[@feelthepayne88]

Joerge is easily one of the most subscribe worthy channels on KZbin.

[@GoGunCo]

Agreed. So grateful to be collaborating with him!

[@CreateYourFateBrazil]

Your dream of giant fighting robots was golden and unbelievably ahead of its time, don’t let that dream die out just because the people of today are still thinking like cavemen when it comes to sports

[@Ezekiel903]

i ordered the Ferris rep. Bow, i have since 1 year the Adder, with 2 mag's and a fast loader, the power is amazing, i'm very happy with it! the only thing is, i can't shoot on wood, because i can't remove the bolt.

[@bradendickman8736]

Is this an ad in disguise? Edit: Just an ad, no disguise

[@Mr_Boss_Smile]

If he's selling them and it's his channel then he's advertising himself which is fine it's not like raid shadow legends

[@GoGunCo]

I guess it’s an ad for my own business? No one paid me to do this. Just showing my own stuff.

[@WyldWolfDragon]

Nothing wrong with showinng amazing stuff ya know. lol Edit: Raaaaaiid Shadow Legends, register today for 69 thousand gold and days of wasted time!

[@W4iteFlame]

Yep. And it's OK. But...it still cringes me a bit when I hear obviously scripted dialogue

[@GoGunCo]

@@W4iteFlame theres no scripted dialog in this video, but yeah the skillshare and expressVPN stuff obviously is. Unfortunately, easiest way to get paid in this game! It's good because it's someone else's money paying for your content :)

[@marnielarocque9412]

howdy from BC Canada, i own an Adder and just bought a real nice Xbow bag from Wish-shopping for $35. The bag is camo with 2 side pockets and my Adder fits perfect, the bag is deep enough so that the adder with everything but my scope fits. I bought an Acog scope cause why not, so i take the scope off and put it in a side pocket, i have a real cool laser i keep on. The laser came in a nice plastic lock box and i put all my extra stuff for the Adder in it, extras string, string cocking "string", allen wrenches. The bag has straps so it can be used like a back pack

[@Stilesda]

Would be great to get short, individual videos for each of your builder buddies trying out the weapon, giving opinions on each mechanism, and what sort of applications they might think of for that sort of tech to be used on bots

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

Thanks for bringing these great crossbows to the USA. Love them.

[@ianfosterUSA]

Great thanks from the UK I've just ordered one here looking forward to getting it

[@ReinTenebres]

Looks fun, and easier to play with in urban areas safely. I think it's outside my budget for my current priorities, though.

[@akemibarrera1961]

This archery equipment is super cool looking! I haven't seen a crossbow like this before real neat stuff!

[@GoGunCo]

it is super cool. Very innovative!

[@Aereto]

Lever action is very different from the previous lever cocking designs, starting from China's Three Kingdoms period (China also has earliest known crossbow relics with bronze and wood materials repurposing archer bows). The quick loading Pistol Crossbow we see in stores is more closely resembling break-action with 80 lbs drae power.

[@nriqueog]

I was thinking of buying THIS very model but was hesitant BECAUSE of having to deal with German mail and such. BUT now that I know this...I'm going to start collecting my quarters!

[@GoGunCo]

nriqueog you will love it! I’ve never even shot a crossbow before this but this is super fun!

[@sirsunu7302]

Hello my heroes All of Finland wishes you good luck

[@marnielarocque9412]

I bought mine from GO GUN just before your video, I live in B.C Canada, Jorge just came out with a 7 shot magazine that uses a zipper clip to load. Might have to get the new magazine from you

[@GoGunCo]

Awesome!!

[@fjoa123]

I'm so on the edge of buying one of these. Damn.

[@GoGunCo]

they are awesome. you won't regret it. Next batch arrives in July so order now to secure your spot!

[@DieNWOsiehtAlles66]

Greetings from Europe and those 5 shots need 7-8 seconds rather than 30 :p

[@dylanlawrence5261]

I wish this happened a bit sooner, i had to order mine through the german site at the time. Nice to see they have a north American option now howver, still hyped for this puppy to ship at the end of the month.

[@GoGunCo]

you will love it!

[@paulsrobotics]

Fantastic video!

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

I can finally get some of Joerg's awesome gear! I just added the site to my favorites.

[@SB0083]

Hey, shot in the dark, but I got a few ideas that you guys may or may not like: -Considering the Eagle Prime vs Kuratas was hyped up, it would be REALLY cool if you guys tried to approach Banpresto/Bandai to get Eagle Prime added to their Super Robot Wars series. It could be a way to get more eyeballs towards your brand. You may need another step of developing some sort of animated work of a story around Eagle Prime, but not sure. I'm hoping you guys have some sort of contact with the guys who made Kuratas. -If you ever build giant robots for another fight, have you considered making them drones, but with a cockpit-style control system? The idea is that you can make the fights more brutal and dangerous, which is something that was restricting your fights, but still allow videos that look like the pilot is within the mecha. Think something like how Gundam Build Fighters portrayed its fights. This may also affect the design for the better, since you won't need any sort of pilot safety features or even a traditional style cockpit. I know I'm just speaking into the void here, but your dream is the same as mine and I really hope that you can have some sort of turning point to bring it all back with the lessons you've learned to greatly improve everything.

[@SteveSiegelin]

No wonder you guys didn't gain any AD revenue on KZbin I never saw slingshot channel collaboration

[@GoGunCo]

[@c.m5043]

Do you guys find the bolts jam to the rear if you point it up whilst cocking it?

[@colindurrant7122]

Was watching BattleBots the other day. I'm from the UK and we have the same sort of show called Robot Wars.

[@davidn82]

I remember one time I was shooting BB guns with my boss off of a porch and he's like hit the apple so I was like OK. Shot like 30 times and never thought I hit it, turns out it is hard to tell if you actually hit an apple that is still in a tree (with a BB gun)

[@varencilator]

That's cool. Saw Joerg mentioning his US seller in a video but I never thought it'd be you. :0

[@JeremySmith-vo3xz]

I'd love to see this channel continue and not die off. A new direction for you might be making this a robot news and show case channel. I love some of your recent videos where you give props to other robot builders. You could go a route similar to Adam Savage, doing collabs with people in the robotics industry who may not have a media front.

Rather than put all of that content on DVD, why not just deliberately decide to sign it into the public domain and donate the content to Archive.org in the absolutely raw state? Archive has the technology to pull a fair amount of videotape into a digital transfer, and once it's there it's going to exist forever, accessible to anybody and everybody. Let the fans assemble their own favorite cuts.

[@GoGunCo]

Will archive.org spend the months required inserting the tapes into some kind of converter, digitizing the media, naming, categorizing, uploading?

[@LexTenebris]

@@GoGunCo They spent months (along with volunteers) converting the Prelinger film archive into digitally accessible media.
