So many people wanted blueprints and tuts for my pump actions. But of course the Oreo one is useless, and the cardboard one is flimsy and weak. So I decided to make a really nice one that shoots M10 hexnuts. Those are very cheap (I buy 100 pcs for five Euros), last forever, and have the right...

OK, we all know that front heavy bolts need no fletching for a straight flight. What if... This January. On The Slingshot Channel. Stay tuned.

Here is my latest work... a repeating slingshot crossbow, shooting 9 inch nails. This is in continuance with my Chu-Ko-Nu based design line. This time, it is bigger than the pencil shooter, but a lot smaller than the chest mounted spear launcher. The ammo is - nine inch (23 cm)...

As the new James Bond movie has been released recently, I thought it is time to make a "007" slingshot. It has to be a pistol, and it has to be small of course. I settled for arrows as those can be poisoned and are therefore potentially lethal, even without great power. But if course it has...

OK, I am talking about slingshot crossbows... nothing more, nothing less :) One of my most powerful slingshot crossbows is the winch operated hand cannon. It can handle much stronger rubber than any conventional slingshot. But it has an active draw length of only about 75 cm! The speed...

The watermelon launcher accident is a very popular video, it clearly went viral. I get lots of related questions, and many fans don't want to use strong slingshots because they are afraid of such catastrophic misfirings. I have investigated and de-mystified the event. My conclusion: The...

After all these "special ammo" throwers (knives, spears, darts...), I wanted to make a more versatile weapon that is totally easy on the ammo. So I made a rubber powered blunderbuss! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqWAM3Fd_vA This is so much fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu_kbfr_tdU Bullpups always fascinated me. There is something elegant and minimalistic about these weapons - plus, they are compact, but without any compromises regarding their performance. Made a new one this weekend, and I am quite happy with the result! I like...

The company "shoottech" contacted me several months ago, regarding their "Raptor" product which was still in development back then. http://shoottech.com/ They sent me a prototype and I did lots of tests. They kept improving the weapon, and now finished it. After receiving another sample...

I have been shooting quite a bit of crazy ammo these last four years. But there are still a few challenges left. One of these much asked for weapons is a slingshot crossbow that can shoot pointy, dangerous throwing knifes with force. Now a throwing knife isn't very well suited for beeing...

COLORS magazine challenged me to make weapons out of trash. Here is my take: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC5vz1Bh5c4 Enjoy!

Someone suggested I try to find ways to weaponize household items. So I looked around, and found the knifes in the kitchen drawers. While it is too obvious to attach a steak knife to a broom handle, I thought that maybe I can use a few of them to make a fearsome cross between a lawn trimmer...

A while ago, I was asked by the popular format "Businessweek" to make a "How To" for their series of such articles. My specific task was "How to make weapons from office supplies". Now an office is paradise for the eager makeshift weapons maker! Lots of heavy, sharp things around. So I...

Based on Lynn Thompson's idea, a new fighting slingshot has been created: The stainless steel frame sports three spikes, two directed upwards and one directed downwoards. This opens up entirely new fighting techniques, especially when you have another weapon (knife, screwdriver...) in your...

New video is online! It was my birthday, and I we drove over to Tobias's place for some fun shooting and a full blown party later on. The walkback slingshot was presented in an earlier video already, but due to the lack of space it wasn't tested with steel balls before...

It is now a reality - cost me 12 hours in the shop today. A full size version of my pencil shooter! You strap it on. In the pic, you see it next to the pencil shooter, it's tiny little brother. Gives you an idea about the dimension. Attached to your chest, you can draw it back in a rowing...

This new video is actually more like a general update on things here at the Slingshot Channel. See the pencil launcher with doubled up rubber and new, specifically made arrows, see the Cold Steel blowgun and a "rivalling" homemade rubber based "Hawaiian Speargun", watch how the Cold Steel...

The IWA is probably Europe's most important annual weapons show. No hobbyists are allowed, except with a personal invitation by one of the exhibitors. Cold Steel was kind enough to invite me to the show! Meet Lynn Thompson, founder and president of Cold Steel, see him receiving his Jörg...

A pencil can be very dangerous - when The Slingshot Channel builds a weapon around it! The "Nerd Revenge 2000" is a homemade pump action slingshot crossbow that can fire 10 razor sharp pencil in under five seconds. The "arrows" travel at an impressive 100 miles per hour, fast enough to go...

Usopp (aka Sogeking) is one of the main characters in the popular Manga/Anime series "One Piece". He fights with a slingshot as his main weapon! The large one is called "Kabuto", and it has five strings of rubber. Many kids asked me to build such a weapon, and I have hesitated for a...
