Slingshot vs Helmet

  • Very strong bald German guy shoots with a deadly slingshot (heavy rubber tubes) at a motorcycle helmet. Incredibly big steel bullets are used. The video includes a slow motion of the dramatic effect. A ricochetting bullet still has enough power to smash a window, making the production involuntarily expensive...

    I'd need a helmet if I had to explain a broken window like that to my wife.

    I expected a ricochet, therefore I shot at an angle. I didn't expect the ricochet to be that fast, though. And if you want to be "my friend", then please don't use foul language on my comment pages.

  • @Slingshotchannel
    @Slingshotchannel  12 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    @thesashworth Flat rubber bands are faster and therefore more powerful than tubes. Plus, flatbands can be tapered for even more performance. The thinner the rubber, the larger the surface, the easier the bands can pick up heat from the environment. Rubber stores the energy thermally, so picking up heat is the key to performance.

    Actually that is not my experience. I tested all kinds of rubber with my Chrony, and the solid elastic has the poorest performance. Multiple layers of very thin flat bands are the best. The thinner the better. Just they don't last as long.

    Nein, beim schwarzen Gummi sind 10mm Kugeln viel zu leicht. Durch die begrenzte Geschwindigkeit des Gummis ergibt sich keine wesentlich größere V1, und da viel Energie übrig bleibt, schlägt einem das Gummi von hinten auf die Finger.
    Die "V" ist auf Kompaktheit, nicht auf Handlichkeit ausgelegt, Sie braucht nicht mehr Platz als eine normale Zwille. Trotzdem kann man sie ganz gut halten, funktioniert besser als man glaubt.

    Every band tears sooner or later. It is only a question of time. If you inspect your bands often enough, you can avoid snaps as you can see the start of a tear.
    But of course I had hundreds of band snaps. In 99% of the cases, they snap on the pouch side and there is little danger. But I always wear safety glasses, my eyesight is too precious to be risked.

    Herr Sprave please can you advise difference/benefit of using the flat style rubber that you often use. I was always brought up with the tubed style rubber (of the Barnett style).The 1st time I saw your channel (and have visited many times) I saw these flat style bands and fail to see how it could be more powerful than the traditional circular type (as on Barnett)especially as circular bands are hollow so I 'd always imagined the circular bands but solid rather than hollow would b VERY powerful.
