"The Pocketshot" News: Review and Tutorial

[@markwatts2532]

I used this when i ran out of condoms....But she said..WTF IS THAT? i said..."let me show you its features"

[@fk80189]

🤣👍

[@jackfroost1833]

WTF HAHAHAHAHA😂😂

[@darrendarby1189]

I imagined this in his voice and actually laughed out loud. Loudly. Thank you

[@TrustNoOne88]

Hahahahaha g1

[@alontsang7377]

You sir, are a genius!

[@MrJRW1]

😂 40% longer... “that does make a difference, believe me.” I almost spit my tea out!

[@robotslug]

I feel like people don't appreciate you choosing those beautiful woods as a backdrop nearly enough. Thanks Joerg!

[@chrismcgarry2840]

On the other hand, one should probably avoid walking in the woods there, in case of stray arrows and random projectiles!

[@Secondhandtermite]

I almost got kicked out of school for making loads of these and making turf wars at school

[@TheArzonite]

+TheScorpio32 Jörg did not invent this. I used to make these when I was a kid too.

[@PittsyPlays]

+TheScorpio32 Ain't you a kill joy

[@TYLERTRANCE]

+TheScorpio32 You don't have a lot of friends, do you?

[@gavinwatkins9386]

+TheScorpio32 the big balloon one has been out for a while, one guy at my school made one and used rocks or tightly rolled up paper balls for ammo. He got caught and punished, of course. these may be small, but they aren't very discreet to shoot

[@Colakaktus]

I used to make some like this but it was made from a "modified" inc pencil. You basicly screwed of afew parts off and attached a balloon and you shot the inc tube with the metal pencil tip ontop and it had alot of power. My friend accidentaly penetraded my hand while shooting one!

[@Aboutji]

I like how your answer to, "Can we shoot a bowling ball" is not, "We can't do it" but "It's really hard, give me some time". Love watching your videos, thanks for making them :)

[@starrs802]

1:58 That face😂 "Oh Did i kill somthing"?

[@wojciechseroczynski9521]

Back in the days every single polish kid was playing with this , we was makin it from bottle and ballon

[@alexgatsulao995]

Its German now.

[@BasedFish]

Romanian kids too, We used to make these all the time.

[@ismaelcasas9676]

Mexican kids too

[@Biend]

I remember, we wus kingz.

[@trueking1857]

I made these in Scotland too I shot pencils with mine at other school kids

[@MrTrollic]

it's about 40% longer, that DOES make a difference, believe me ;) HAHAHA! 2:28 unintended sex jokes are the best jokes XD

[@brycecook6834]

he also showed us how to put rubber on

[@MartKencuda]

I don't think it was unintended.

[@SkinWalker882012]

Thats what she said!!!! lol

[@josephjohnson8705]

+Peter Griffin i read that in your voice

[@BrianAwesomenes]

I'm almost certain that was intentional.

[@333twang]

I have pretty bad depression, and genuinely your laugh makes me so happy and i smile every time i hear it ! thank you

[@connorthaddeus6243]

This is honestly the most entertaining channel I've ever found on KZbin. Joerg, you are truly an inspiration and hope to see many more videos! that Fat Man is amazing too!

[@MuZeSiCk77]

We used to make it from a cutted finger from a rubber glove. A thick rubber glove! It's tough rubber. And then some peas. Believe me, we had some blue bruses! LOL. It was just a finger from a glove and a plastic tube from electrical tubing. Glorious!!! Thnx mate. Like the upload. Made me think back! Thumbs up!!!

[@-EekaMouse-]

We used to have similar shooters as kids, they were made of bit of pvc pipe and cut fingers from yellow cleaninggloves. We shot dried peas from them and we called them "condomguns"

[@Lazyhotdog]

In new zealand when my dad was a kid he made the same thing but called them joey guns

[@WormsMaster100]

In Poland we used bottlenecks instead of PCV

[@prndownload]

They used to be called glove guns back in my day. Used a piece of pipe and a finger from a rubber glove. Rubber used to break a lot though. I once made one from a big piece of pvc pipe and a swimming cap. Was a two man operation, one to hold it together and one to draw.

[@ademjoesen5640]

6:46 wtf hahaha

[@forrestl5597]

epic

[@JohnMarstonBlows]

I was just about to time stamp this 4 years later hahaaha

[@krissamuel4915]

The pocket shot is a really innovative design, and it can compete with many slingshots easily, but as for shooting arrows, I still think they might need some more improvements with the rubber, maybe a stronger rubber, which will make you use more power to draw back, but it will accelerate the arrow really fast. However, pocket shot is a great fun toy to play with!

[@MrAstrojensen]

We made such pocket shooters in school, many years ago, using the thumb from a rubber glove and a small PVC tube. They were a lot of fun, but we never used them in school wars, as they were frankly a little too dangerous for that. They are easily powerful enough to take an eye out or crack eyeglasses. For classroom wars, we used blowpipes made from plastic pens, shooting small plastic decoration pearls... Man, we did get into a lot of trouble with the teachers for that, but it sure was fun.

[@qg786]

You can double up the balloon to make it more powerful. That's what I did to mine. :)

[@mrbadx19]

LMFAO, the cute little airsoft one at the end, too bad i am 40 years out of high school.

[@NonJohns]

[@TheOrigamiOctopus]

[@ollilehtonen6351]

we call them "Lutku"s in finland.

[@pingwingugu5]

We call them "Pukawka" in Poland :-)

[@Andrew-tz5eo]

We use them to break the glass covers of clocks in schools in America.

[@osmosisjones6267]

+Dros nah that's just you

[@vitoskrjanc9036]

You don't even need a ducktape if you put it on a "plastic bottle top". Great video!

[@Helviuss]

Oh my god. 7:40 Its a wooden Fatman from the fallout series. Except it shoots footballs. I love it!

[@sniping8377]

Damn i don't know why but I can't stand it

[@WalkingOnWater86]

Joerg thank you so much for including the DIY tutorial. Yes, the commercial one is better and a good buy. But showing how to make it yourself is why we love this channel gives us options and makes it great to watch plus it gave some credits to some of our childhoods creativity :P. can't wait for the next video. Greets

[@eternalknives9829]

Haha! Loving the bloopers, Joerg. Keep it real!

[@Kattensimba]

[@benscott19841]

Your laugh is one of the best things about your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@JohnSmith-ks7fv]

7:46 looks like the Fatman from Fallout

[@eziothegoat]

Exactly

[@antonismitsos7044]

Yes!

[@GabrielMartinez-wh2xm]

This pocket shot has so much more potential then demonstrated in this video. It actually shoots a lot harder! I have one and it's good to hunt with. When it comes to arrows it launches them around 150 fps. When it comes to steel ammo it shoots around 350 fps. Great product really.

[@GabrielMartinez-wh2xm]

Also, there is a reference point to aim with. It is not limited to instinctive shooting. You just need to hold the slingshot correctly and this is with the thumb knuckle pointing straight up and not sidewise or diagonal like demonstrated here.

[@majo2626]

we made these as a kids just with the top of a bottle, a baloon and duckt tape :D

[@georgeshaffer]

Your Bloopers are just as good if not funnier than the ones at the end of a Jackie Chan movie. Good job including them.

[@Postcinct]

"That makes a lot more sense!"

[@SuperEdep]

You pull back the rubber and "PING" hahaha joerg you've just made my day 😂😂

[@tazp123]

"Bullies everywhere rejoice at the micro-pocketshot" >.

[@Dinoslay]

You could actually combine several pocketshots into a gatling gun if you added a trigger mechanism to the front cap of each one to hold a bolt in place until the trigger is released by a rotating lever(it would need to be strong enough, of course), similar to the slingshot versions that you already made in the past. There are also balloons of varying scales so it's curious to ponder how far a larger balloon can stretch when compared to the normal size.

[@joshhill4760]

Lel, I just made a King of Random pocket shot with a bottle cap. If you use salt it turns into an anti bug shotgun, its great.

[@l1nk3d63]

I made it, too ! I knew exactly what he means with pocket slingshot when I saw the title

[@hannah20405]

lol I just made one the other day as well I used the Gatorade neck of the bottle

[@giorgitsiklauri1283]

u mean A-SALT-RIFLE?

[@backstabbingsmithsonian8514]

I used this same slingshot as a Youngster. It kept me safe for Much of my Life ! 1. Cut the top off a Gallon of milk 2. Wrap a Balloon just like what's in your Posting! But Yours is Bad Ass !

I’ve had the same cheapo shot for around two years, still works swimmingly!

[@anthonypantano2627]

the tiny one could shoot pencils 3:)

[@bowhunter69]

the wicker biscuit can be made from a toothbrush boiled in water and shaped .some times two to fit depending on pipe size and glued into place.

[@-Honeybee]

I sense a lot of condom jokes...

[@cecunguk8817]

They are dork

[@Saareem]

We used to make something like these as kids. The barrel was longer PVC pipe and the rubber was usually a finger from rubber gloves as the rubber was much thicker and robust than one from the balloons. They were usually used to shoot some berries from the aronia bushes. Getting shot really hurt but the ammo was fairly soft so nothing serious ever happened. The berries left a semi permanent stain on skin and clothes for the fun of the parents.

[@hardy309]

Last time I saw fps's this low i was playing crisis on my nokia 3310

[@Nitrisbot]

Cool... We use to make stuff like this as kids.. We would use 20mm-25mm conduit cut to lengths along with that we would cut fingers off rubber dish washing gloves and use electrical tape to tape it over one end of the conduit. So much fun. Cant believe we still have all our eyes shooting these at each other.

[@sethtothemax]

Thx for the school warfare they have hornets I have steel balls XD I win scrubz

[@mspark400smith2]

I own one with the different strengths and the whisker biscuit for arrows since I'm an archery guy and I have to say it's pretty frickin awesome in both modes. Simple, effective, and tiny!

[@michaelbianchi22]

Awesome! Saw King of Random build his own pocket shot. Was excited to see your take on it.

[@biteon]

We used to use electrical pipes and rubber glove finger when I was a boy. The ammo of choice was rowan berries in the autumn

[@lanebuckner6963]

hey joerg I started watching your videos about a year ago and I have watched every video since I have even started to learn German because of you keep up the good work

[@MacStrange]

I've been following you for a long time. It is time to thank you for the great show you give us.

[@angelcintron2122]

My Family and I enjoy watching your videos, but the kids are the ones who love watching you, and they love your laugh. I think they really just watch your videos for whenever you laugh. They say that you laugh like the "Un-cola" guy. Actually, the 7 up guy.. Yes, they're weird.. They like old movies, commercials, and classic rock songs. Keep up the good work and keep laughing. You bring so much joy to my little Boys. Lol.

[@jimsipop3260]

It's cool how you're always so happy

[@stevemuir4247]

This guy is cool. Brilliant contraptions in every video.

[@diasfernandes8251]

is every time a pleasure to see your videos joerg and thanks again for the help last time

[@JonJayMMA]

did i just watch an entire video without realizing it was a sponsored product? Bravo Joerg

[@der_municycler]

I did one with other stuff, shooting small lead pelets at more than 50meters

[@kushscentedbeard]

I used to do this when I was younger, get a 2 liter bottle and cut the top off, cut a hole in the cap and slip a finger from a rubber glove through the hole, screw cap on the top of bottle to secure the rubber. I usually used corn as ammo lol

[@datboi2318]

The end caps are actually so the nock won't stab through the rubber

[@carrob004]

We used to make those with plastic coke bottle necks and balloons of course... Im talking like 25 years ago. We called it "Tira lilas" in México because we used Lilac Beads as ammo.

[@franciscostello1332]

I love the bloopers. Would like to see them more

[@Lalaland.001]

+JoergSprave Didn't you shoot 41.05m/s with a red pouch and 53.07m/s with a yellow balloon??? Why did you show 85m/s with a blue pouch when we never saw it??? Just asking?

[@victoryfirst2878]

I really love your videos. Keep them coming Sir.

[@debstovervillarreal4348]

the teeny pocket rocket you made is hilarious! I love your channel. You are a hoot and a half!

[@competenceattractsluck6997]

I love the way you can laugh at yourself. Shame you didn't show us the velocity of the red pocketshot with a pellet. Love your channel and your contraptions.

[@FakeSugarVillain]

In Chile we call those kind of slingshot "Poroteras" which can roughly translate as "bean shooter", and kids made them all the time out of old plastic bottles and balloon plastic, we just to used them to shoot each other with dry beans and green cherries. After a while it wasn't fun anymore, it was just painful.

[@fightforjustice3744]

You are a genius, Joerg. Soooo entertaining.

[@alanschaub147]

Don’t they have a product now that has an arrow release? I bought some paintballs for my Pocket Shot this morning. 👍🏻 I really like the mini version to shoot BBs. 😁

[@Asinr7]

I Remember building similar designs with my friends when we were Kids. We used Beans as ammo, it was great fun.

[@11FrenchFry]

This was a very well made video! One of the best ones in recent memory and i dont know why

[@DzikTattoo]

How sad that i cant say everything in my lanquage( Polish). This stuff was our shooter in childhood and the amo was the green mirabelle fruits that grows a lot in front of my block of flat house. It was build from the small ballon wraped on the neck cutted from the plastic bottle and secured by black electic tape. They have a lot of power and it gives us a lot of joy. Grettings from Poland!

[@erlingwestbye5813]

Really funny with the bloopers at the end👍🏼

[@spikeguy33]

I wonder how long would that commercial balloon rubber last without any kind of pouch. Because it was quite extraordinary for home-made balloon shooters to last more than a couple of days (~100 - 200 shots).

[@LuxFerre4242]

For your bowling ball launcher, perhaps a nearby airfield would let you use a hanger or some such building as shelter for it so you can build it in any weather and move it for shooting when weather permits.

[@Jesses001]

I know what channel reminded you about those pocket shots, ha. I really should consider them. The longer pouch makes a big difference.

[@mpowersmedia3219]

Love your channel and videos. You seem to have so much fun.

Here in Brazil, me and my friends used to make the pvc one and shoot beans at each other, it was lots of fun (and some times pain).

[@charlesmclain4047]

1:13 huehuehue he said putting a new rubber on is easy. I didn't see anyone else point that out so I couldn't help my self. XD

[@jelkehuisman]

Me and my friends used to make the diy version of this when we were kids. I didn't do anything stupid with it, but one of those dudes used to shoot pieces of bacon at the vegitarians in class. Keep in mind that we were, like, seven years old back than. It seems pretty funny now though, looking back at it.

[@LordFantasthick]

We made those slingshots as we were joung. A botleneck and a ruberglove, it's so simple

[@gordondunn3694]

Will used to make them as kids here in Australia 1 inch PVC piping 80 inches long and use the thumb of a rubber glove rack with Wire and type very powerful

[@borderex9993]

Joerg inspired me to make my first actual slingshot. really enjoyed making it . love your vids

[@philboeroe]

Ein paar Verbesserungsvorschläge: Man kann statt dem pvc Rohr einen großen Flaschenhals nehmen (beispielsweise von einer Nestea Eistee Flasche, da er einen großen Durchmesser hat) und den Ballon mit einem Kabelbinder in der Rille vom Hals befestigen, zusätzlich kann man den Ring vom Schraubdeckel zum Befestigen nehmen und wenn man vorsichtig genug ist kann man auch mehrere Ballons übereinander verwenden man muss nur darauf achten, dass sich keine Luft dazwischen befindet (beispielsweise mit einem Strohhalm heraussaugen bevor man den Kabelbinder draufgibt) jedenfalls mit dieser Bauweise und 3 Ballons als gummi habe ich schlussendlich über mein eigenes chrony geschossen und bin auf eine Geschwindigkeit von ungefähr 47m/s gekommen, mit meinen selbstegegossenen Bleikugeln, die ca. 4-5g wiegen entspricht das etwa 4,5-5,5 joule

[@Inspironator]

I can't decide which I like more, the review and how-to content or the bloopers! Tough one! Hahaha

[@andrewwilson8317]

Great video mate. Just made a combination trench knife and sling shot combination weapon- deadly!

[@mattschannel1502]

we use to make those balloon shooters at school back in the day just a bottle neck full balloon without cutting and an elastic band to fastern awesome fun

[@macrumpton]

I wonder if you could get more speed from the bargain balloon version by having 2 or 3 layers of balloon.Also a PVC T fitting for the barrel would allow you to add a handle easily.

[@brettpomeroy6804]

from my experience with my bow, whisker biscuits rob a lot of fps. the reason the manufacturer recommend feathers is because they lay down better through the rest, but the wear out pretty quickly.

[@Wuuz]

i remember making these as kid from small pvc pipe and rubber glove finger parts and using hard rowan berries as ammo :), they left red hitmarks after impact.

[@yeahno6100]

Lol, really cool. We made Glove Guns as kids too, but our PVC pipe was like 20mm x 150mm long or there abouts, and the middle finger off a rubber kitchen glove. We shot marbles or ball bearings with them.

[@Gool349]

I would love to see a video where you just wander into the wilderness using whatever you can find to make a slingshot/weapon and see how powerful you can make it with just the stuff you find

[@j5892000]

use the full size arrow in the smaller pouch. . .. alot draw power. the length Iif the arrow was limiting how far back you could pull the rubber.
