Airgun vs. Slingshot: Accuracy? Ergonomics? Power?

[@rogerlimoseth4790]

You are scary accurate with that slingshot.

[@AFCAWorldBodybuildingArchive]

Jörg's *accuracy* with a slingshot is slightly frightening

[@Debilinside]

I thought the same :D I have a slingshot, but I cant hit shit with it :D Even a melon from around 10 meters is pretty hard for me.

[@Remmeeee]

Ikr? I bought a slingshot from this guy and even after half a year i have trouble hitting relatively large targets at 8-15 meters. Targets of the size of an A5 piece a paper on 8 meters or A4 on 15 meters. And i cant even handle 2 bands a side, cant reach the max potential with 2. Doing 10 shots with a single layer is already taking a noticeable toll on me...

[@PolitischeImmunität]

@@Remmeeee Jörg is definitly really strong. Which helps him a lot while aiming i guess.

[@thetallone7605]

Oh, Joerg's accuracy scares you? Go look up Bill Hays. Or Treefork. What should scare you about Joerg is the power that he is able to shoot consistently :)

Jörg why don't you try beating all the world records for slingshots? You are extremely creative and you also have a talent for shooting slingshots. That is a perfect combo. I would love to see you in the cover of Guinness world records :))

[@PaganShredhead]

He already has a few entries in the Guinnes World Records book buddy :D

[@ATasteOfLife]

PaganShredhead I did some digging. LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I CAME UP WITH HA HA HA. Couldn't resist haha. Anyway it seems that Jörg has the strongest handheld slingshot with 135 joules of power. He shot a 1 inch steel ball with 206 fps. The only Guinness world record I could find was the most cans shot from 10 metres within a minute. Was a bit disappointing to be honest.

[@musikSkool]

@Fair Enough Wow, that is enough power to hunt an Elephant, if he shot an arrow instead of a steel ball.

[@danspencer4143]

Isnt there a problem with your story? Joerg is way too huge to be david. Because Nobody.on earth would be big enough to be his goliath. The biggest strongest man on earth is Halfthor Bjornssen, at 420lbs. Joerg is 280. That's the difference between me and my little sister not tbe difference between david and goliath lmfao

@RANDY LEWIS L. COUNTRYMAN What are you confused by. Maybe I can explain in more simple terms. David was very small and goliath was very big. Therefore david beating goliath in a fight was very noteworthy. Joerg is very big. So big nobody on earth makes him look very small. That's about the jist of it.

[@nick6876]

This thing costs almost 600 USD. Insane price tag for something that cant even penetrate an aluminium beverage can. Still, it's a nice looking gun but I would honestly be slightly dissapointed :P

[@ExtraVictory]

Price doesn't necessarily equal power. You can make a lethal purpose hunting weapon like a crossbow or a primitive gun for under 30$ that will kill even dangerous game. Or a 150$ gun that will kill a charging grizzly. Or you can make a 2000$ plinker that will be sub quarter MOA accurate but only produces 10 joules. Etc.

[@dexaphobia8085]

It’s also very weak due to German weapon laws not allowing air guns to be dangerous, this example fires the pellet down a battle and would legally be considered a gun if it was any more powerful

[@MangaGamified]

In my country Philippines I even hesitated to buy a $22 Titanium Slingshot, after confirming there's no better steals, I placed the order a few minutes ago

[@Kaxlon]

Nice air gun! It's almost a full clone of the Gamo Compact. I have had the Compact for over 20 years and it's still in great condition. It's a very accurate gun with zero recoil. The range is limited, but I managed in my youth to shoot, and hit empty beer cans across a soccer field. The gun has a bleed valve that protects the rubber seal from damage.

[@sigurdfyllingkarstad2694]

I had an idea for a cool slingshot! What if you made one where the handle was hollow where you could store additional ammunition? Maybe you could take the idea even further and make a kind of a pistol trigger mechanism on the grip where you just press it, and one steel ball drops down straight in the other hand which is the one you use for loading anyways 🙂 Anyways, cheers from Norway 🤘

[@johnanthony6038]

[@tartarughe-hermanni]

Hello, I bought this Fas 6004 air pistol for target shooting, but at a distance of m. 7.5 the lead cannot pierce the cardboard. It is too little powerful, it is necessary to raise the rear sight so that the lead reaches the target with a slight falling parabola. As a result, accuracy is also lost. Is this normal or is there some defect? Because at a distance of 10 metres, the lead should arrive straight and pierce the cardboard well.

[@smithandwesson1921]

[@robertwolfe5285]

Hey joerg! I’ve been subscribed since your slingshot vs helmet video, so probably like 8 years I think lol. I love all your stuff so this is a constructive criticism from a long time community member. Recently I’ve almost completely stopped watching, not because I don’t want to, and not because of sponsored videos or anything like that but because my interest in each video isn’t there. For me I always knew what format to expect when a new video came up from you, I knew it was always have the slingshot channel theme, I knew it would always be something crazy being shot or launched, I knew you would always say “thanks and bye bye”, and I always knew I’d be interested even if the title didn’t imply I would be. Now change is great! If you love what you’re doing and making videos about that’s awesome! That’s what matters, and if the slingshot channel theme music isn’t something you want to put in that’s totally fine! Change is good. But in recent videos it seems like you’re struggling more than you should be, monetizing, ideas, and enthusiasm, so I get the gist that you aren’t loving what you’re putting out anymore. As a lover of this channel and long time fan I can honestly say I don’t love it either. Please don’t take this the wrong way this comes with love but even if it’s more work... even if it takes longer between uploads, even if some get demonetized, I think it would be better if you made launchers that shot crazy things again, giant things like the toilet bowl cleaner again, or like the Oreo shooter again, there are hundreds of things you can launch and fire out! What I loved about your videos was you made the most crazy contraptions that had a shock value when scrolling in the KZbin feed. Then you always finished with a beautiful hand carved slingshot at the end, if my opinion as a lover of you and this channel means anything, I’d enjoy it if you went back to your roos and started making crazy contraptions in a new way! Your channel isn’t dead, but it is dying, and I don’t want to see it die. So my suggestion would be to go back to making crazy stuff, sponsors will get more views, you’ll get more views and you’ll have more of a shock value on the KZbin feed! For Christ sake shoot a trump bobble head out of a cannon, or make a launcher that fires wigs out of a cannon onto your head, or a launcher that shoots meat onto a piece of bread to make a sandwich, or something crazy! Because my interest any others interest has faded.

Have you tried to pump the air gun more than once? It might hold more pressure, maybe not haha. The instructions for my air rifle requests I pump it 10 times for max efficiency. I must say it’s been a while since I’ve watched KZbin and you’re looking good. Keep up the good work!

[@d33b33]

It's an Olympic target pistol grip. It helps reduce pulling the gun off target when flexing the trigger finger to fire the gun. It does this by bunching the support fingers together, so that they move less when the trigger finger moves. There is no trigger on a sling. It's still a good grip but bunching your fingers together doesn't do anything on a sling. EDIT: On the other hand, it increases the contact area with the hand, so yes, it should help steady the shot somewhat. Many historic swords have a disc instead of a pommel that does much the same.

[@rafaelobo1]

I really enjoyed seeing this video, great craftsmanship & idea.

[@reggiep75]

I still have a Webley pneumatic pistol, similar to that pistol, that I bought in the 90's and it's power was limited to 6ft/lb to be legal without a firearms licence in the UK. Legal air rifles (of all kinds) without a firearms licence are limited to 12ft/lb. My pistol had and ambidextrous grip and that pistol would be no use to me as I'm a lefty and getting a left handled grip or ambidextrous grip is an issue. Still it's a good pistol and a good vermin dispatcher! This pistol probably has the same 6ft/lb limit which is good for 10-15m close target practice and seeing off some vermin if you've got a good sight/scope. I found that pointed pellets worked best if you're looking to get penetration thru a target like a can.
