Three extremely powerful slingshots

[@Slingshotchannel]

@LAMBOFGODNOOBLUKEC 1. I am not sad, as I have a hobby that I love dearly. 2. No 6 year old kid can draw out my slingshots, believe me. 3. I legally own 34 firearms, but I can't shoot them in my garden, plus they create noise, stink and costs.

[@diegodelacerda8828]

your the man

[@oktc68]

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen such a well thought out design as your "H" pattern slingshot. Sad? Definitely not. Obviously the opinion of a an eejut who has nothing better to do with their time than hate on people. May his arse itch until the end of his days.

[@BelloBudo007]

@@oktc68 Initially when he showed the 3 slingshots I couldn't comprehend the advantage of the design of the H. I even wondered if perhaps it was over engineered. He explained it perfectly though. Now I'm only curious about accuracy & effective range.

[@SabcatPrinting]

Ten years on.. I think your number of fans shows you are not sad!

[@thenewyorkredneck4735]

Its so funny to watch older videos and see how shy you were to let your emotions through

[@siggyunsichtbar6980]

Got this randomly recommended today. Quite interesting to see some of his old videos again

[@longleaf1217]

same, interesting to see videos from when he was the slingshot guy and not the instant legolas guy.

[@Slingshotchannel]

I use Thera Band, you can find it on ebay. Gold, Black and Blue work best. You need a rollcutter and a steel ruler to cut the bands from the Thera Band, it is very wide when you buy it (14 cm).

[@Slingshotchannel]

Yes, exercise bands, Thera Band Gold made by the Hygienic Corp. You have to cut them with a ruler and a sharp knife.

[@Aghitb]

thats crazy

[@Slingshotchannel]

Only one way. Make one, or have it made by someone sho has the right tools. I never sell my slingshots! Love them too much.

[@jasonthun9943]

Do you have any tips on how to carve a good slingshot from a natural fork?

[@sirwanst]

What elastic is this tell me pls

[@mchap6118]

How about now, in these times? Would you consider selling them now? Would like to buy.

[@stevenbrown6079]

maybe you should post design drawings so we can staet where you are.

[@Slingshotchannel]

Well, the "H" requires welding equipment and skills. So it is not easy for an average person! It is my most powerful slingshot, more than 70 Joules of energy. That is much more than a BB gun does (air guns do 4 to 30 Joules, at the most).

[@sidamarali3030]

Thank you,sir.

[@critchley3819]

This guy is a legend, I wish I lived next door to him, he has a passion for this and that is cool..

[@elyanae9588]

I take if you have no passions or hobbies of your own then? You mustn't if you wish to live next door to someone just because they have a passion in life. Don't we all?

[@akinyilmaz66]

[@liamhenderson3753]

He's probably his neighbour by now

[@gunlokman]

Well, maybe not right 'next-door' . . . especially at the back!

[@Slingshotchannel]

My strongest slingshot ever (the "H" achieved 72 Meters per second with 30 Gramm bullets. That is 78 Joules, almost as much as a .22 bullet from a pistol. But you need heavy bullets, the speed of rubber is limited. More than 80 Meters per second is noz possible, even with very light bullets.

[@Slingshotchannel]

In order to draw out strong rubber, the slingshot must be designed right. Grip comfort, wrist strain, efficient attachment and frame stability is crucial. As far as the rubber goes, I have a band manual (free pdf) and even a band dimension calculator on my website, check out the FAQ at slingshotchannel com.

[@Slingshotchannel]

Most of them. But I have just started to buy some commercial slingshots in order to compare them to my selfmade ones. Check out "The great slingshot shootout".

[@Slingshotchannel]

Yes. The H is very powerful due to the flat bands, which are faster than tubes. But the tubes last longer and are powerful enough, the difference is not huge.

[@Slingshotchannel]

@mosspump22 You can't buy these, I make them for my own collection and never sell. This is just a hobby.

[@Slingshotchannel]

I buy mine on ebay, but just type "Thera Band Gold" into google. You should find plenty of suppliers.

[@Slingshotchannel]

@Reverseflush Sure, accidents happen. But fortunately I never hit my hand with full force. Those who live by the sword...

[@Slingshotchannel]

Elliott, I currently do not sell my slingshots, this is just a hobby. Having said that, I do get so many requests that I may start a business in the future. But nothing's planned so far. Jörg

[@luisrolon6538]

heyy love your videos i got a slingshot my own !! Great hobby !!

[@RussellDeacon]

Did you ever start selling sling shots @joergsprave

[@Slingshotchannel]

Good to know, since I can't help it!

[@Slingshotchannel]

I welded the H from steel rods, from scratch. The metal balls are iron, not steel, and have been bought on ebay, for about 2 Euros a piece. They already come threaded, built to your order. Earlier, I used ball bearings, those are cheap, but you can't drill through them and welding is difficult.

[@Slingshotchannel]

Stu, flat bands are faster and therefore more powerful than tubes. I think they have less inner friction than tubes, that's why. But they are harder to make and also they break earlier than tubes. No such thing as the perfect solution!

[@AcousticNRG]

i lIke it how he looks proud as punch after every time he fires a sling :-D love this channel.

[@Slingshotchannel]

Boshy, my name is Jörg, with an "Umlaut" O. Since that character does not exist in the English language, it is commonly replaced by an "oe".

[@jplxlabelle1681]

I've made a few OP slings in my day. I have to say, that H model sling is the way to go. With a few minor changes it could be Next-level-GOOD. I have an idea to make this and incorporate the action of a compound bow. I made a few variations in the past, but never thought to do it like this. This puts a whole new dimension on slings and their limits. I love your innovative weapon builds. I only tinker with slings tho

[@S0ME0NESPANTS]

Nobody will ever be as badass as this guy. EVER!!!

[@Slingshotchannel]

If you aren't as strong as I am, then you would have to use weaker bands. Still, the power would be remarkable, you'd be surprised. My slingshots don't have a huge draw force, about 50 lbs is maximum. Most people can pull 50 lbs easily, bows often have 70 lbs or more. But you need a powerful grip, as you pull the pouch with just the thumb and index finger.

[@thomascorbett6627]

U R Right AGAIN!!

[@Slingshotchannel]

There is a steel frame of course, Fimo without a solid core would break very easily. It is just modelling clay.

[@timpular3545]

Dude I don't think anyone would want to rob you

[@Slingshotchannel]

@SRMeadows So what exactly did you find so funny? I just think you are one more lame troll. Off you go from my comment pages.

[@thewhitesheep4156]

@Viper 😂

[@Slingshotchannel]

Not very. I end up paying about 2 Euros (3 US dollars) for a set of bands. One set can last a few hundred shots.

[@mamunshekh9791]

Watching in 2019 😂😂. 10 years challenge 😂😂

[@akebomba1011]

You're not the only one 😂😂

[@Sheridantank]

Same. I looked up worlds strongest slingshot knowing I’d find a video of his. I’m a more recent viewer (5 years or so)

[@changolini]

Wow time went by quick

[@LukiGames0]

2021 There XD.

[@mikeb3315]

I'm watching it now lol I got a bag of marbles for my boys marble run, but their too small... So had a thought... Now I'm watching this lol

[@Slingshotchannel]

The "V" uses tubular rubber. It lasts longer, but is slower. Even the "H" can not really achieve much more than 300 fps, but that is no problem because you just use heavy bullets. Those have lots of energy even at a "slow" speed. My heaviest bullets are .91" lead balls.

[@Slingshotchannel]

The tapering greatly enhances the power, because there is less weight at the end of the bands (the pouch side). For the other issues, why don't you register at the slingshotforum? I am a moderator there.

[@leelizardwilcox6271]

that H Frame is awesome I would love to own it.

[@Slingshotchannel]

Thanks for the kind words. Check out the FAQs on slingshotchannel com! I have an online band dimension calculator.

[@bradameerbeg6422]

He's so different back then.

[@Slingshotchannel]

Certainly. If a band breaks at the fork, then the rubber hits you like a whipm on steroids, right in your face. An eye is a vulnerable body part that I, for one, don't want to loose.

[@ShishKabbal]

Hey Joerg, I love your videos and watch with interest... Slingshots may not have the range and power of firearms, but to folks interested in "primitive" wilderness survival skills; the sheer effectiveness of these "primitive" "childrens" "toys" will NEVER allow them to be outdated relics... keep it up... great work!!!

[@Slingshotchannel]

@Reverseflush I don't plan to make any money with slingshots, that is why I have no need for patents. I openly invite people to use my designs. So if you copy my work, you are not stealing.

[@Slingshotchannel]

I don't live in NY, but in Hagen/Germany. The shirt is misleading. Sorry for that,

[@chaplinfan48]

Everyone wishes they had an uncle like this. What a cool guy.

[@dwaynesbadchemicals]

This guy is the only slingshotter I trust on YT.

[@joeymarkanthony3312]

I noticed that in each and every one of your videos you shoot the sling shot and right after you shoot it you look directly into the camera's lens like that was the most badass thing you have done in your life. I love your videos and your work, just wanted to point that out because it makes me crack up every time you shoot a sling shot!!! hahaha :)

[@Slingshotchannel]

@gaveen666 Not easy, but doable. Millions of Germans legally own firearms. Hunters, sport shooters, collectors, security guards, heirs... lots of accepted reasons. I own 34 handguns, with permit of course. Problem is you can't shoot them in your garden, not even unregulated air rifles. Slingshots have no such limits.

[@totalherenow]

You are a genius at slingshots. I used to live with my slingshot as a child and was a fantastic shot, and now I miss it :(

[@sigung01]

Nice freaking camera! and I LOVE the slingshots. Good Job

[@Slingshotchannel]

"Funny" isn't quite the correct term. "Fatal" is much more adequate.

[@DistantShrimp]

i dont know why people are hateing on this guy he looks pretty fit to me (fit dossent mean your a toothpick) he has a nice house/yard (money) and is oubviously intellegent, to design and build slingshots and speak multiple langues. and who gives a shit what you like to do BTW nice slingshots.

[@Ticlano]

Amazing video as always, Jörg. Just a question, did you've already measured the power of the H slingshot? Greetings from Brazil!

[@Slingshotchannel]

What do you mean by "ripped"? If you refer to body strength, it is very easy to use individual (weaker) bands. Even a normal, untrained person can draw a quite powerful slingshot.

[@nfut88]

Joerg, you rock! Smart, creative, and awesome! Amazing slingshots!

[@torned00kaz]

it intimidates me when after he shoots he looks at the camera. good designs!

[@Slingshotchannel]

Thera Band Gold. You can find it on ebay.

[@e.yunexplainedphenomena]

rollers on slingshots!? thats some next level tech

[@arangillespie]

Very nice engineering with the "H"

[@chonyc77]

Very cool slingshots btw. I used to have a few my self a while ago. My favorite was one that had a wrist rest. You should design some with this feature. Keep shooting!!!

[@Slingshotchannel]

What for? Pellets tickle, that is about it. Slingshot balls are a lot more powerful.

[@spicymchaggis666]

I was waiting for him to say "I'm going to pump you up." or "My slingshots are going to pump you up."

[@VertigaDesignMEDIA]

You have some very interesting exploration on draw length and band distribution. personally i think the 'T' design will yeild more accuracy. the ball slingshot was also very interesting in that is distributes the power to where it is needed most. the 'H' is definitely a standout model, since it allows a longer draw distance. the grip for the 'H' seems to stem from the base of the hand. perhaps you may look at a 'U' slingshot where the draw distance extends below the arm from the elbow.

[@WessexBladesHandMadeKnives]

brutal slingshots!

You are a genius man, Def want you on my team for the apocalypse!

@dow3312 I legally own 34 handguns, everything from a Desert Eagle to a SAR41 (the civil version of the HK MP5). But I prefer my slingshots, as i can make them at home and can legally shoot them in my garden.

@Joerg Have you contemplated using off center cams with heavy springs to make a conceptual compound action slingshot? I think the outcome would be interesting, as I wonder if it would hyper-accelerate over a short period of time the contrasction of the rubber tubing. Concept: Bands going over roller bearings down the handle connecting to off center cam on bearings. spring from each cam to handle. Should work like a compound bow in principle. Just a thought.

[@bucketspree4952]
