I thought I'd share this. It's pretty cool. The guy that made it is talented.

But why would anyone need such a weapon? The fact that someone would want one just demonstrates that they are a suspicious person that probably shouldn’t be allowed to have one. Maybe allow it after a background check and a two week cool down period, but they shouldn’t be allowed to buy more than one of them. We wouldn’t want them accumulating an arsenal.

Jeorg Sprave of The Slingshot Channel comes up with a lot of similar contraptions. If anyone’s not familiar with him I’d highly recommend spending an hour or so checking out his videos on YouTube.

Stick a chronograph on it and off we go. That is WAY beyond my skill set. Darn clever.I wonder what the FPE would be?

A serious safety issue I’m afraid. No blue Locktite on those bolts. OSHA will be along soon to end this insanity.
Honestly, brilliant.

Studied slingshots for a couple of years. Surgical rubber lets down as the heat that builds up in it when you stretch it cools BUT something like that could be made to shoot a .50 lead ball at around 250 fps. That ball weighs 170 grains IIRC so about 20 or 25 foot pounds would be easy enough with some 1/2" tubing. Flat bands are faster. They had a contest to see what the maximum anyone could achieve was here. Shoot something like steel cubes cut off of square stock and they are wicked.I wonder what the FPE would be?

Round balls for game, square shot for vermin?
Man called Puckle had a similar idea. Look up Puckle gun.
