Smallest bottle smashing slingshot?

[JoergS]

Meet my newest piece, Mr. Mini Carbon.

5cm x 3,5cm x0,5cm.

Weighs 2 gramms w/o bands, 8 gramms with bands and pouch!

Don't underestimate it, it shoots 9,5 mm steel balls with 55 m/s. The way how you shoot it (the ball of the thumb in the middle of the fork), you always automatically "flip" it so there is no danger to hit your thumb.

And here is the video:

Bottle smashing?

On the path to the pool?
Is it safe to go barefoot?

Cool slingshot, but I stopped busting bottles when I realized the broken glass will still be there when the dinosaurs re-take the Earth.

 

[Webbj0219]

pretty cool. Are you in france? The accent sounds french. Anyway that thing looks everybit as powerfull as a bb gun. Maybe more so depending.

Fortunately, not in a dangerous form. Water smooths down the sharp edges- you can often find smooth glass "pebbles" along creeks and on the seashore.

I am a German, living in Germany! I do speak French a little bit, owned a house on the Cote d'Azur for a few years, sold it in 2006.

Glass is actually a liquid, did you know that? It just does not flow very fast. On very old buildings, you can see how the glass has already oozed down significantly.

Here in Germany, we recycle a lot. We separate our waste, glass, bio degradables and paper are put in separate bins. Makes sense, but is sometimes inconvenient.

You are to slingshots what John Browning was to firearms. I really admire all your work.

Webb- Accent sounds Scandinavian to me.

That should be in my survival kit. that could be different between a snail or Bird for supper.

 

[Mp7]

definitely great for survival kits!

Just make the "Y" and sell it with the rest
of the material as a "Kit".

( ... to mi, itt saundz verry GERRMANN!)

Hehe, humorous hearing a fairly thick German accent saying American words like "ain't" and "bugger"

I like your videos and your slingshot enthusiasm.

Plus, you look MEAN when you're firing!

Best wishes.

slingshot!

Awesome!

Thought your You/Tube video was great also! You need to produce a bunch of these and sell them. I know I would love to have one pr two myself!

 

[The_Dude]

Always awesome.

it looks as tho your thumb is in danger of being smashed

 

[JoergS]

No danger for my thumb. The way you hold the frame, when you release the pouch the thumb flips down, you can't avoid it. So it is out of the way when the bullet comes near.
