Great video! What I find most interesting is how much damage the ricochet shot did. Even with it bouncing it put a serious dent in that armour. Being in a group of soldiers with stones bouncing around would have been terrifying. The speed of the lead shot was really cool to see as well.
Thanks man👍 ya I was pretty surprised about that shot too
That’s satisfying! Where can I get lead ammo
I don't know where to get them but you could ask a Lokal shoting range for bullets and cast them your self just need some kind of skillet cast iron is good, a burner because you should do it outside or if you do it in your kitchen, at least ventelate the room and breathing protection indoors. Most bullets have a copper jacket so cut them oben with pliers so the lead can run out, then you can remove all the copper and dirt with a big spoon and pour the lead.
I melted old fishing weights for mines and used a 4 oz torpedo mold
Unless you purchase lead fishing sinkers, you are pretty much forced to cast them yourself.
I've found that wooden moulds work very well for casting Roman sling bullets and pretty much all you need are some gouges and sandpaper. Melting lead is about as trivial as melting it in a pan over a small fire. You may want to keep a paraffin wax candle with you, if you see a bunch of dross/slag rising up to the surface as the lead starts to melt then you should chuck in a bit of the wax and let it burn up... that should take care of most of the dross.
Make sure that you pour as soon as all of the lead melts and don't let it rest for too long after, as once lead starts to hit around ~400 degrees celsius, it starts to emit a lot more fumes.
Can you make a tutorial how to use this thing and how to build one?
I praise this guy's Aiming, better than what I can do with my sling
Now imagine a scattered group of say 50 slingers hiding in tall grass. Your line of hoplites or warriors sees nothing but the occasional head popping up and down, along with the occasional whirling arm. A series of high frequency cracks echoes across the battlefield and suddenly two of your friends are down with rocks embedded in their heads and legs.
That would be a very bad day.
Hoplites more often wore linen armour, I wonder what that would do
In general, most people nowadays cant really imagine how crazy that would be. Even worse, imagine invading mountainous terrain, you hear a distant crack echoing through them mountains-someone slung a rock, you dont know who or where, all you know is that they did it. You now have to wait for the rock to hit you with so much force that it would easily kill you. The time period between the sound of the sonic crack and the impact of the stone have to be the most terrifying thing ever. Antiquity was metal.
Can we just appreciate how accurate he is with that thing?
This guy is really accurate and persistent at hitting his targets, I really appreciate your vids, will subscriber
You need for sure a gambeson under the plate to survive or not to have your bones broken against one of those shots
And this is why in dnd slings should at least be a 1d6 lol, great shooting bud 😁
Now imagine a staff sling doing the exact same but the rocks are huge...
It probably would be worse as it would have a lower acceleration due to its mass
Great slinging! I was expecting carnage but still was surprised on the armor!
Next up you gotta do a Paul Harrell meat target following by a Nephilim Zombie gel head haha!
Now imagine hundreds if not thousands coming at your formation, we used this to great effect against muslims in Iberia
Slings were also used at much bigger distances, but you didn't need to hit one person but a group so you didn't need that great aim
I thing slings were effective at 400 meters
That neck shot 😨 yeep now I know why this was used in war
And you'd have young boys out in fields watching sheep goats or cows practicing this hours every day then you put them on a field in an army with years of practice
That is some good accuracy
This guy can sling. I subscribed.(and I also have sling videos)
This guy's fuckin deadly
Awesome video
Thank you
Which sling length is your favorite so far?
I’ve been liking the shorter slings a lot lately, makes it much easier to keep my form when I throw
The standard (half your wingspan when folded/fingertip to fingertip when unfolded) has been great for me as a beginner in terms of the balance of accuracy and power
Wicked video. I liked the comparison of the ammo. Damn your a good shot.
Thank you, one thing I forgot to show is that the lead leaves a bit of grey on the pouch after a few throws
Well, that stone shot to the neck would have been fatal. Everything else would've been survivable. Looks like the lead bullets didn't do much more damage than the stones, but I imagine they would have done more damage than the stones versus bare flesh. Really interesting to see these hits versus light armor.
Lead bullets are easier to use because they have a standardized weight and size. Plus, you can have them printed with things like "catch", and "ouch!".
@@The_Practical_Daydreamerthey fly better because of density
Очень короткая праща.
Wow, super accurate!
Sling vs GoPro
😅 I’m shocked it still works
I think it would be super cool if you mounted the dummy on a spring. Something that would match the rigidness of, let’s say, a human spine. Or maybe make a spine-like mount out of a car spring suspension. Actually go to the junkyard, get a leaf spring, sharpen on one end and you can stab it in the ground.
I wanna see that Bob swaying to see the power generated.
Great shooting! What thickness is that amour?
Thank you it’s 20 gauge
Love that you put a hat on him. Great stuff as always.
Hey thanks I’m also glad he fits all my stuff lol
I love that in the slow mo, you can hear the rocks coming haha...fantastic vid!
dude, you might be the most accurate slinging video-maker I've ever seen. Thank you for your work!
Thanks so much! 😃
Yes outstandingly good competitive level. Imagine those sheepardboys!
Fantastic job you're doing! These are the best videos out there for shepherd sling.
I hope to see one with those realistic ballistic gel heads one day!
A video showing your slings and how to throw with one would be great too!
Thanks so much and that gel idea sounds like a good one I will definitely look into that
@@slingsvstheworld2866 I just found your channel looking that very thing up. If you don't hurry up and do it I'm gonna haha!
It's interesting to know if it able to penetrate skin and meet of a pork carcass
Im curious if is the armor bronze or iron, cause that damage is crazy. Many arrows cant even do that type of damage to medieval plated armor!
One of the creator's replies to another comment said that it's 20-gauge steel.
Good accurate slinging. What weight were the lead bullets?
Кажется очень легкие
И праща у него короткая
i wish some one would try and clock their shot speed im really curious to as if the rock or wieght actully breaks the sound barrier or not
or if its just the slings whip
Experienced sling users can fire the rock at about 90 meters per second, which is less than a third and almost a fourth of the speed of sound. The gunshot sound is just the sling, and i belive the tip does break the sound barrier.
My understanding is that the frayed end of the released half of the sling does indeed break the sound barrier in the same way a whip does. The reason they purposely leave that end frayed is to absorb that energy so that it doesn't injure the slinger?
@4:42 rip
DAAAAAMN!!! That was absolutely insane! I gotta try this!
Dude yes! Slinging at armor feels great 😌
Wow, fantásticos tiros, muy buen control de la técnica balear. Me encanta el dummy; pero de ninguna manera me pondría en su lugar. Los impactos son contundentes, aun con armadura el soldado acusaría los golpes, el tiro en la garganta, mortal de necesidad. Buen vídeo.
Impressive!1 Imagine 1000 Mr. Richs, and 250 large war dogs thrown in for fun, harassing your flanks! I see why good slingers were valued.thanks
They’ve been using these against Israeli soldiers for decades people think they’re harmless this video shows the truth.
I would not be comfortable having this action imposed on me without responding with my service weapon. There was at least one Battle during the USA Civil War (which was not very civil) where Confederate soldiers armed with slings ambushed Union troops equipped with rifled muzzle loaders. I used to think the Confederates were insane. Not any more. Reload time on a rifle was 10 seconds plus aiming. With a sling perhaps 3 to 5 times the rate of fire. The slings might have had an advantage. Who can tell.
@@jamescolton1085 In the right situation, rate of fire is much more important than range! As long as the slingers chose the terms of battle, they could well defeat rifled muzzle loaders! If range was the only thing that mattered infantry would be only snipers.
Your sling looks awesome!! what have you got wrapped around the tension and release cords?? Also what gauge Paracord did you use and how many strands?
Buddy you are a monster with the sling! Great work!
Thank you! I love the practice
3:23 "Boobie, repaired!"
The sound of the sling is like a whip. Then the rock hitting target ouch.
That whip craking sound is made by the released end of the sling not the pouch. So don't expect the projectile getting launched at the speed of sound 😂 it's actually a bit faster than arrows that's just it.
Send rienforcements! They throwing iron eggs! 😂
Lead
Hey man, fantastic slinging. I just got into slinging 2 months ago, but I have been experiencing pain in my wrist and elbow. Have you experienced this before? And if so, what do you do to get rid of the pain?
Yes I’ve had the same thing happen when I first started and now days I never throw with full power. You can add speed to your throws with good form and like 75% power
@@slingsvstheworld2866 Thanks man, I appreciate the advice!
Dude, I'm jealous of that sling design...got a tutorial or any up for sale?
thanks man! and sadly no these things are pretty difficult to build😵 takes forever lol
Slingin' those stones like bullets! Got one hell of a throw there 👍
How’d you learn to sling?
Nothing but tons and tons of practice
Still used in rioting
Is there any company that sells these Kevlar slings? Anytime I search for it I get rifle slings
Just got my Kevlar sling from Acroballistics. Its incredible. Beautifully made, and his videos show you the reasons for his designs. Very well thought out. They come from Greece. I just ordered three more in differing lengths. I'm hooked.
@@saladdays180s9 thank you, ill check it out
Wow, you went from very basic videos to higher quality and shooting at armor on a mannequin in record time. You're gonna go viral I bet ;)
Nice slinging! I made a sling when I was in the boy scouts and the technique I was taught is a little different. Sadly I developed tendinitis in my shoulder from slinging so much that I had to give it up. About 5-6 years ago I found some old leather pieces and made a new sling (not nearly as nice as yours) and took it out. Still got the technique down, but the accuracy and precision are forgotten.

Incredible accuracy
What kind of beer were you popping open at 3:42?😅
My friend was having a “space dust” lol
@@slingsvstheworld2866 nice!
it's also interesting to measure velocity of the a leed bullet using ballistic radar in order to calculate kinetic energy
That’s some quality slinging 👌
Thanks so much👍
What causes the crack we hear just when the projectile is being released?
The release cord of the sling is tapered like a whip and also has a cracker tied to the very end to make it louder
The released end of the sling reaches super sonic speed, a whip crack because of the same reason. Most tie the end knot into a tassle and remove the crack since it is very loud. But some don't.
The sound of a proper sling! Slinger knows his stuff.
@@T4nkcommander It's worth leaving open fiber to make the to subsonic. Anything past the pouch does nothing but give you hearing damage. (This is coming from a rifle shooter and guitarist as well, save your hearing.)
@@RhodokTribesman good to know, thanks! I've still got perfect hearing at 31 years of age and intend to keep it that way as long as possible
enjoyed the video nice!
Thank you!👍
awesome vid
Use a longer sling to increase power
...and decrease accuracy
@@rustybrand8103 and? you only need a few hits
Excellent slinging, always a pleasure to watch
Thanks man
Dude that dummy was taking a beating even using armor, but he died after that shot to the throat.
1:08 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s some crazy force. Excellent shots!
Very accurate and great slinging . Just shows how much power the sling really has . Great video keep it up.
it says 20g mild steel which makes it 0.9mm thick. that is thin most I think is at least 3mm. i have checked again 1 is the thickness of the sides but some were just 1mm thick this is for the front chest plate
A wonderful demonstration of power and accuracy 💫💫💫💫💫
accuracy is less important when there's a bunch of slingers and the target is a hundred soldiers in formation, and then theres this kid who can drive nails ,i can barely hit the ocean from the beach,lobong bread balls toward ducks is fun so are marshmallow wars
How long did it take to become so skilled?
About 4 years of heavy practice and I recommend taping your finger so you can practice longer without damaging your skin
@@slingsvstheworld2866 I wonder when the first sling was made.
wow! Great video, it's a real documentary! I like it!
Impressive shooting man!!!!
Dude thanks, can’t wait to get my hands on some more armor lol
Why is the sling looks very short compared to other slings that I watched from other channels?
Just makes it a bit easier to control
@@slingsvstheworld2866 does it affect the power of the impact?
@@DrKarmo yes just a bit less power
Balearic slingers would often have at least 3 slings of different length, power and accuracy being inversely proportional based on sling length.
I never knew they made a gunshot noise.
The more you know.
Subbed. That was Devastating!
Amazing 🤩 lol
hey mate. what length sling knot to pouch?
Sorry for the late reply, from ring to pouch was about 17-18 inches
Sheesshhh man, that accuracy! I feel bad for anyone that crosses you the wrong way...🦍
and we all laughed usopp.... ":D
1:40 - Headshot.
Cool video man
You earned a sub
I think you killed Kenny with that one.
🤕🤕
Damn! That must have hurt. This is the equivalent of getting shot while wearing a vest. I'm pretty sure the soldier could have ended up with fractures, or at the very least, a horrible bruise.
That throat shot was scary
yeah well it's pretty fast but mostly because of the mass-weight! he use rocks/stones soo yeah pretty destructive if you has not full plate armor!!! :S
Not at all
@@gipsymelody1268 the Spanish with their breast plates were absolutely terrified of aztec slingers / basically it's not the penetration one has to worry about but the shock of the blunt impact force, which full plate won't protect against
@@aburoach9268 yeah but breast plate and full plate is different! full plate has more layer! i real full plate armor is not just the plate armor pieces! the gambeson + mostly chainmail and plate armor! so the shockwave is not a problem :S
but still how simple and destructive weapon! and we all laughed about usopp ":D ok he still us e abit different sling...
even that full plates ressisted against the bullets (in that time... in that time the gunpowder was weaker cause they use blackpowder and not smokeless gunpowder which is stronger/faster make bigger energy)
@@gipsymelody1268 If you have a thick gambeson underneath your breast plate, then yeah, that could probably handle the blunt impact force, but if that lead projectile hits your Helmet or limb plates, You will undoubtedly get injured, you could get knocked out or have an injured limb with which you won't be able to fight properly in melee
One thing is for sure, Horses will be dropping like flies, very vulnerable against sling projectiles
the Spanish mention how one hit from an Aztec sling stone could immediately knockout a horse with it's shock impact, shatter swords, and leave troops paralyzed in shock on the ground from the hit, they would even pick up Aztec shields out of desperation which only provided limited protection by the way / No arrow or crossbow bolt achieves such devastating results that quickly
and lead projectiles are even more devastating then stones
And that is why, boys and girls, plate armor would stop ANYTHING that is not a gunpowder weapon. No matter what books, games and movies tell you nothing wielded by human hands can penetrate plate armor. Even the spike on the back of a warhammer or poleaxe. Even against crossbows they would most likely not penetrate. Man in full plate armor only died when someone would get to the seams or from an unlucky strike they would hit somewhere not protected by plate.
mace
except thz bec de corbin and all war picks designed to do exactly that...
He is assuming all armor is properly tempered and thick enough
war pick, maul, poleaxe
U don't need to penetrate the armor,
A few good concussion strike can incapacitate a heavily armored person.
Your throwing technique is not very good..
Neither is yours
How can he improve his technique?
@@adamesd3699 He spins it around too much before throwing (1-2 spins or even less is optimal) and also isn't using much of his shoulder. Also, he needs to add more footwork and hip turn.
@@crunchyman5330perhaps adding in the details with revealing the observation would yield better responses as conscructive criticism.
@@crunchyman5330His techique is good, last two spins are supoused to be stronger, but that doesn't mean you cant spin before them. Other thing is that we don't know what best techniques are because many of techniques are probably lost.
so I imagine slingshot hits can break or crack ribs through armor not lethal but 100% pain train. I liked the neck shot probably lethal due to throat being squashed and target suffocation. Say did you played that game called plague tale? Protagonist there uses slingshot as the main weapon although gameplay reasons doesnt allow realistic ballistics to be implemented meaning 10 shots to helmeted soldier just makes him dizzied for a bit and his all good.
With stones in the right terrain you pretty much have unlimited ammo for skirmishing. Something javelins or arrows can never do
Why the music mm is it a music video really what is it with people need play music when talkn dino cya
Slings are gay
You'd know 😂
Coming from you
Because of all the nut shots?
They’re not, but these guys seem like amateurs…. Which is kinda gay
