Slingshot crossbows are fascinating weapons. Powerful enough to be lethal (>60 ft-lbs), easy to make and very accurate.
However, all of my power sling-x-bows were pretty long. That is, until now!
I built a bullpup crossbow, with rollers that extend the draw. This has a stirrup and can therefore be cocked with both hands, allowing very strong bands.
Here you see it in comparison with an earlier model of mine:

you see it shooting triple TB gold bands per side, the maximum I can draw on a conventional slingshot. But the photos already show it with six layers per side, it shoots a 20 mm steel ball with more than 230 fps - well in the 60 ft-lbs realm commonly stated as "lethal".
I will do some more sanding, add a front handle and a scope, plus a nice paint job.
Will make a how-to video (tutorial) for next week! Stay tuned.
