20:07 I think arrows poking out of the wall inside the house would get my wife yelling at me. And if I accidently came through the picture of my mother in law on the wall, would get me a divorce. :) LOL
Just to produce some hot air, I will say that it's not a gastrophedes anymore since you don't operate it with your gastron (belly) but a chairophedes since you operate it with your hands (chairon).
Why not just double the limbs for that m125 bows instead double bow?
Oh Jörg, You Are the Best From the Schützenfest
"I'm not getting fat, I'm just storing power for my bow!".. yea, I definitely could get behind this idea.
A bowel-powered bow
get behind... haha 🤣
He’s cultivating mass
well you certainly wouldn't want to get in front of it
true 😄
Jorg - that thing is phenomenal!!!! You truly are a master of thinking around the problem and solving it it in an exceptional way and lets face it, why use one bow when you can use two? It is really is a beautiful piece of work. Thankfully I mostly make films about existing designs and systems, so I am always a little constrained by what went before, but I do love a good video about ideas, and this is it.
next up
three bows!!^^
We definitely need a Gatling Bow…
@@Soinetwa I'm curious if it's possible to horizontally mount some normal long bow limbs that don't add too much weight but give it a little extra oomph and also a badass cross shape.
Two masters collaborate from the distance on ancient and new technologies... What a time to be alive! Thank you Joerg, thank you Tod!
Tod clearly still on his week long new years bender!
This man out here making hand held balistas.
I've made an instant Legolas for trebuchet. Let me show You it's features.
Well crossbows are technically speaking handheld ballistas
Wouldn’t expect any less
@@markuszx3539 I would like to see this in action
Have you seen the bowling ball slingshot launcher that was used against cars yet?
Joerg uses the power of the dad bod to create an anti-materiel crossbow.
He's lost a lot of weight recently in the last couple of years and was also already a lot more muscular than your average "dad bod"
@@Ky-lb5ts stronk dad bod
He made Mammoth hunting bow, this is badass.
like the mammoth tank O.O
You could prolly hunt a bear with that thing
The ephelent bow !! 😃
Next on the channel: "the antitank repeating crossbow"...
Well... You could add a shaped charge at the end of the arrow...
@@littlebubulle we r talking about Jorge, he only need rubber...
Lol it’s probably going to be a rubber powered 40MM Bofors
@@serindas "Today, we are seeing if we can knock out a Leopard 2A7 tank using only rubber power, because a general was curious. However, because those tanks are expensive, we will be shooting at a standard target."
the tank-Mounted surface to air repeating crossbow
"Bow manufacturers hate him! Learn how this German man launches 850 grain arrows at 233 fps with one simple trick..."
Reloading "only requires that you're eating well" I almost spit my coffee out....so funny!
Medieval peasant : *thank you my lord*
"I ran out of lasers". JoergSprave, 2021.
and the angels wept.... XD
"I came here to mount lasers and make strong-ass crossbows. And I ran out of lasers."
Does this mean he has to get into making his own lasers? O_O
@@Ithirahad with wood and rubber!
@@Rohi727 Perfect one-liner.
Hmmm, the compound bow was invented 1 year after Jörg was born? Coincidence? I think not.
He probably took apart his toys and used the parts to invent one. 😁👍
Little known fact, Jörg IS the compound bow!
Well, he had to get a gift for his first birthday!
Yeah because He invented that at age of 1. Did not learn this on your history class?
He invented it on his first birthday. Nobody knows it because his parents sold his idea and tought of it as uselss.
Favorite part of every video... "Let me show you its features... *laughter that heals the soul*"
I want to see how it performs with the heavy bolt against the steel and plywood armor target.
This!
Cuirass with ballistic gelatin inside!
this. the keyword being "heavy". like double the weight of what he's using with Fenris.
I mean, entropy is a thing. Getting that close to double the energy out from double the energy in is pretty impressive.
when you absolutely maxed out the beginner weapon with all the possible perks on the upgrade tree.
"Because it is physically impossible...unless you are a super human"
Joe Gibbs confirmed super human!
Don't he have a 200lb war bow
"The Instant Legolas, an elegant weapon for a more civilised age".
HaHa I glanced at this and thought you said "elephant"!
Killing like a Sir? 😜
If we didn't ever get to know gunpowder, this man would be Kalashnikov of our times
John browning created wayyyyyy more weapons then kalashnikov John is known as the best weapon designer of all time he would definitely be John because How many weapons he has made
This could fire javelins to one-shot mammoths. Such power.
"Alright bois let's go hunting"
"Oh cool, what kind of game we goin for?"
"DRAGON"
It's no easy feat to be this badass while simultaneously being equally wholesome!
Reminds me of Braum.
Did anyone else notice at 20:12 the rusty sawblade stuck into the side of the shed?? I am sure from some previous dangerous experimental weapon. 😂
Nah.. that's not a rusty sawblade...... IT'S A WARNING!!! 😆
Glad to know I'm not the only one who saw that...
@@kotori87gaming89 thats been there in a few videos
Yes, he made a saw blade launcher!
"This is my automatic sword launcher, *let me show you its features* "
@11:24“ it is absolutely physically impossible now to draw this out with your hands” Joe Gibbs enters the conversation. 😉
I think with compounds it's different
Poldovico
I’m aware that a single compound bow of a given weight are easier to pull than a longbow of a similar draw weight but this isn’t a single compound bow and that’s not what he said, so it’s irrelevant when you listen or read what he said.
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Sheesh, don't jump me friend. I'm not good with bows, I just know they're different in some nebulous way.
He did continue by saying, 'unless you're superhuman." So, Joe Gibbs.
@@MonkeyJedi99
Good point. 😉
Jorerg's under rated quote: "Is it a success? I think so" XD
when it’s so cold outside even Joerg has to wear a jacket
Can't be that cold, he's not even wearing a hat and he's bald
@@fgg4136 Overpowered Brain needs cooling.
The snow begged him to wear the coat.... so that his savage heat wouldn't it!!!
I am sure he still wears a safety t-shirt - safety first.
"Simply lean on it", yeah... I think you can lift just a little bit more than the avg joe :)
duh, I mean his transcribed name is joerg, those extra R and G give him extra power
This build is both, impressive and frightening!
Something that makes even Joerg go "Whoa!" has to be impressive.
I didn’t even skip the ad part because joerg narrative is the best
I've been growing a "Belly Bow" for the last few years. I'm now a 42 waist. :) LOL
DAAAAAAAAMN, BOY! HE THICC
Absolute unit!
Is your profile pick a selfie?
@@outandabout259 I liked watching Hogan's Heros after school when I was a kid. It is Sergeant Shultz :) LOL I think he had a bigger belly than me.
@@politicalfoolishness7491 the sign of absolute respect would be beating him in belly size!
19:03 Is that the wood impact sound?
Edit : It is! Arrow actually went all the way through!
I'm always impressed by the amount of functional beautiful monstrosities Joerg can come up with... that thing is... yeah...
While he was building it, Todd came over and asked "Hey, wanna come out and play?" Joerg said "I can't, I have Gastraphetes"
All that you do is exceptional engineering as well as works of art. Every time that I look at you utube sessions I am truly amazed. Thanks
"It's not even that heavy, it's only 6 kilos, fully loaded."
That's still way heavier than most rifles and shotguns on the market.
Yeah but not nearly as quiet, and if you're hunting big game? You don't want to scare your quarry away with gunfire!
@@DEFKNIGHT you're actually more likely to scare the animal and get a flinch reaction (meaning your shot might not be as clean) with a bow/crossbow because the arrows are subsonic, contrary to a bullet, so the animal has time to react before getting hit
Only on longer distances. If its 50 meters then there is little chance for it to run away.
I’m sending lot of hugs and health to you all.. Always stay safe and see what I got for you
six feet, buddy
Ich verfolge deinen channel seid jahren und kann ganz ehrlich sagen dass du der einzige bist dem ich ein Raid sponsor gönne. Deine videos sind anders Ehre und so bekommst du nochmal extra Geld um noch mehr verrückte Sachen zu machen.
Außerdem is es nice die englisch sprachigen hier zu verwirren
My brother says you're his absolute hero. He is currently fighting stage 4 lung cancer but he has always been the one to keep a positive attitude. I've always envied that of him, being the glass half full guy he is, even when fighting such a horrible disease. But you bring him joy every day, he watches all of your videos, and we have began hanging out together everytime one of your videos drop. I just want to thank you for all the joy that you bring my brother, along with me! Thanks for always being positive and uplifting, even the during the most trying times for some of us. God bless.
Hey, thanks for the kind words, and all the best for you and your brother! Stay strong.
"Professor Sprave" should become immortal as a special mechanic character in a video game. Awesome.
Last time I was this early, Joerg was still lodged in the earth's crust off the coast of the yucatan peninsula.
Joerg Sprave is like EJ Potter. Yet more ingenious. EJ Potter put a 327 Chevy V8 in a motorcycle and eventually set the NDBA world record 1/4 mile ET record. He did what everyone else thought couldn't be made to work. And didn't try. The difference with Joerg is he's designing and building a new product often.
Thanks for letting us watch Joerg sir.
Amazing work man. You are an inspiration to tinkerers and archers worldwide. The one thing that I think you could add to these performance test videos would be to mount the second camera as a close up of the target, allowing the viewer to see the impact of these more powerful weapons in real time. Keep on keeping on, great stuff.
when reloading the bow, it's kinda shaky and unstable, how about adding a small platform at the tip of the bow serving as a base when reloading the bow
yes just a modified foot from a ladder
Specifically after Christmas. For a German, "especially" is not exact enough ;)
And there we have it Folks. See right there! The rare Grammar Jatzi! Such a Magnificent Beast.
Another ingenious creation! Congratulations!
You and Todd (whose channel I also find fascinating) have a wonderful and potentially even more synergistic relationship. He has pretty wrung out the performance parameters of actual ancient and medieval weapons. What you could do together is explore what could have been done with ancient and medieval technology to create compound bows and Fenris (sp?) magazines had weapons makers of the time thought of such things. Note the configuration of the TenPoint crossbow and how that might have been implemented 800 to 2500 years ago.
You know I've been hearing about raid non-stop for what seems like an eternity now. I've got no interest in it since it's basically just a skinner's box that plays itself while you spend money on it but I think it's really cool that just mentioning it's name is a great way to earn a living as a youtuber.
It’s not as bad as you say it is. I haven’t spent a penny on it and it entertained me for a while. But it does get old after a month or two
Besides, downloading is free and it supports the TH-camr. You can always delete it after
Jörg der verrückte Fips hat wieder zugeschlagen. 😅😍
I love your woodworking, at a glance it is super unobtrusive.
Du hast schon verrückte Ideen, aber Hut ab was du so zusammen baust
Bruh im sure this crossbow has enought penetrating power to overmatch a Leopard 1's side and rear armour
Or any Japanese ww2 era tank
Warum liegt da Str... Äh warum steckt da ein Sägeblatt in deiner Holzhütte? 😂
th-cam.com/video/kFI0EgpYbEg/w-d-xo.html
Deswegen.
Vor allem _in_ der Hütte, also durch eine Wand rein... ;)
1966! A truly great vintage harvest!
You are the inventor of the century!
Awesome work mr Sprave
I love this guy's laugh.
IMPRESSIVE display of the maximum lethal velocity equations you need to turn your enemy's "Cover into Concealment".
Your mind is an inspiration to so many of us who tinker with such contraptions.
My favorite was turning a Youth Sized compound bow into a vicious crossbow by cutting the limbs off decent fiberglass recurve into three sections and stacked three layers together leaf spring style.
That gets mounted at the end of 24' steel rails bolted to the chassis of a pistol crossbow and added a AR 15 stock.
My go to ammo on the cheap is using either aluminum or fiberglass tent pole sections. For real, this thing shoots so hard I can send tentpoles without any tips at all over half their length into solid half inch plywood. Sure it's kinda Sketchy, but what's the fun of building a machine with enough power to easily kill anything unfortunately enough to get in front of it..
Oh ya, I replaced the original strings with those super strong spider cables used on anti-theft security devices. Turns out they are perfect for my application.
Next I wanna try this idea I got from another TH-camr who makes some of the absolute coolest and deadly crossbows, etc out of things like springs and cut sections of 26' bike rims into some excellent cantilever bow...
THEN ..
As he actually lives in Cambodia I believe, he ends each video by this Savage display of mastery at his craft by stalking and destroying at least three fish each episode out of this river he drives into seconds after drilling the fish with bolt tethered and man, this guy catches some big ass fish with these bows.
You'll find him just look up kill fish with compound crossbow.
Good times folks👍😉
Ah, I was wondering when you'd get around to a Gastrophetes. So, when do we get a slingshot version powered by Theraband gold or speargun rubber?
Done. Hope to see you online. I would love if Todd and/or Shadiversity has a chance to really give it a go with perhaps more medieval weight bolts. Keep up the great work!
Joerg converts more imagination to real world function than anybody else I can think of. He's relentless and very entertaining.
Thanks for the praise! Made my day.
Now that he has conquered the past, its time for Joerg to peer in the future: how about remote controlled full auto, high capacity magazine, either wall or vehicle mounted crossbow?
But what if I need to stop a charging rhinocerous, Joerg? Where's the 2x120lb english war bow gastraphetes? :P
I think compound bows are more powerful despite lower draw weight similar to recurve bows
Jörg - always a pleasure to see with what you come up with.... impressive - yet again!
You truly would deserve a honorary doctorate degree, who else is doing constant inventions like this?
Now I kinda want to see Balista made on a same principle. Wondering if that would work.
And now after showing you its features, let's fire it at that tank over there... *muahahahahhahaha* 😂
With this Schwarzpfeil, it can penetrate even dragonscales...
How many people's weight? Two? One?
That has some serious power behind it, damn!
You’re nearing the level of harpoon at that point! Your Ferris/IL is still the most amazing archery product since the invention of the compound bow.
german gun laws : Very tough and need special permits*
Joerg: so this is 2 conpound bows straped together
"This is actually not my invention." Let's be honest how many here actually thought he invented the compound bow?...
After seeing his vids, I'd believe him out of fear
I would not put it past him. if it didn't exist already, I'm fairly certain he would have invented it. plus like he said, it came out one year after he was born, how much do you remember from when you were one year old?
Impressive, most impressive. Can it surpass metal gear though?
With ballistic gelatin inside, please
mgs3 snake eater is hard to surpass, even by joerg
This kind of video is the thing I subscribed for. I love watching Jörg come up with new spins on obsolete systems and concepts because, while they might not as effective as the ones used today, they still work and it's fun to think about how clever ancient people actually were to come up with the stuff :) It's a bit like having a conversation with people from a long time ago.
Thank you for making 2020 way more fun than it would have been without your videos. Happy New Year! You are certainly off to an AMAZING start in 2021! I'm sure people would buy your Belly Ballista! I'd love to see a another episode showing off some crazy powerful arrows to use with this awesome new device.
Any updates on the TH-camrs Union?
"No commercial product"... "Makes no sense" - Are u mad? 😆
why would you buy this instead of an instant legolas tho?
@@CrystalStearOfTheCas personally I would not buy it, because I shoot traditional bows, and I do not have a place to use such a high power bow safely. But there might be other people who have an interest and space.
But it looks like an interesting business niche... And a more powerfull bow is always welcomed and fun.
@@CrystalStearOfTheCas Big game hunting. High power crossbows are generally a pain in the butt to cock.
@@irisdogma8174 Except if you intend to shoot a rhino, the fenris does the job! The arrow will fully pierce a thicc boar. But I get your point. I'm not saying that more power is useless, just that I agree that it might not be commercially viable
In 2021 we need a Jeorg Sprave Alexa voice.
Me: "Alexa, What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
Jeorg: "Ha ha, let me show you it's features!"
The Greyback is Awesome indeed, Cheap and Durable, i'd forget about the Fenris right now till a Cheaper magazine comes out tho
Edit: No one comes out and tells me "Lucasz Made a Cheaper version" Because no one is willing to Make and Sell it, and it's hard to do it, so it's out of option, Better get 2 or 3 Cheap injection molded Fenris that just an expensive 1
get that money Joerg, Raid Shadow legends lol stare at your phone for even longer! HA
the only time I saw anyone actually say how much raid would pay, simon wistler said he asked for 500k and they said no and came back with a still massive 6 figure payout. I can only imagine. go for it joerg! make that money!
Why is it so satisfying when he says "let me show you it's features"?
Joerge, you are Classic!- nothing on youtube causes me to laugh so much! I am a German American- you are brilliant engineer- 🤘
Anti-tank bow.
This could actually have delivered the arrow head in Rambo.
You are great!! One of your more interesting builds. Well done Joerg.
Hey Jeorg! As always, your inventions are ridiculously awesome. I know you’ve got lots of projects lined up, but I’d like to see something like that on a tripod. Some repeating bow/crossbow mounted on a tripod for stability and ease of use (due to weight), with extra magazine clips for quick reload. Food for thought some day! Thanks for the cool videos!
Been following for years and this is the coolest beast of a crossbow so far. Incredible.
Happy New Year!! I Love what you can do with any idea that a past bow maker spent years designing!👏👍✌️
I already enjoyed this guys video and now I know he’s my age it’s good to see somebody my age enjoys Life so much hoping to visit Deutschland next year
I have seen you videos and I am amazed on how you come with all this contraptions..
how I would love to be able 10% of what you come up with...
Keep at it my friend .. very nice 👍🏻
I love how you work, You give Yourself hard challenges and then try to excitedly solve them. And they usually result in something spectacular for us to see
Joerg, You fine gentleman, an idea for You:
-Bulwark style mace - seems realistic
-Bulwark shield
-Bulwark helmet
-Bulwark armor
Love history, archery and gastraphetes idea :)
Joerg ! you made a Modern Knight killer King Arthur would have loved you for that ! LOL well done my ingenious friend !
I need something to tone my abs and hit a target at 80 yards.
Looks like a handy device for putting rebar in concrete after it has set. Possibly from the next county.
Joerg you are the sort of bloke I'd like to have as a neighbour. Fantastic job
1965!!? Damn Joerg you're as old as my parents and looking way better. Good on you.
LOL!
I just spotted you standing behind Jeannie and Henry from MxR Plays in the Raid add of their latest video.
Holy cow, the sound of that shooting is awesome!
Jeorg, you mad genius. This is the coolest thing on TH-cam.
You should see if SafeLife Defense would send their body armor to you for testing against crossbows.
the greek bow is a great solution, to a problem we do not have anymore. i love how much work you put in, into making a bow that then again needs the old solution again.
Jorg your raid ad was the best its much better than any other raid ad ever
What I don't understand is why you don't have bow and Crosbow manufacturers for sponsors. I mean it's only natural, your content is the best advertisement for these tools. I always wanted to try a bit of archery, like at the back of my mind, but now, watching you videos, I really want a bow!!!
congrats on your tv contract
I am sure the 1200GBP is a major steal. It's debatable who is doing the stealing though 😁
You could make the argument. That with a slight reworking of the ergonomics. This could be a marketable crossbow.
My uncle has/had a 150/130ld crossbow. He had to stand in a stirrup and pull the strings by hand. This would be so much easier by comparison.
I thought the original Mongolian legolas you made was incredible.
And EVERY legolas video you made after was better than the last.
My favorite was the pendulum bow and I definitely want to see that in videogames/fantasy in future, named appropriately of course. Joergian archers, priceless weapons, and not what you want the bandits on the Kings highway to be armed with ;)
