It's really rare that we get game changing innovations nowadays like yours, Jörg, and even rarer that we get to see them catch on and evolve in real time like we do here on your channel.
Game changing innovations I can think of right of the bat. Internet GPS Photoshop MP3 3D printing Smartphone WiFi Flatscreen Netflix eBook Reader Ancestry DNA (Military) Drones Google Search There may even be more. And of course the importance of some could be argued. But still. Looking back at the last 20 years there were many mindblowing innovations. Just because people got used to them so fast and easy doesn't mean they weren't game changing. Maybe what you mean't was that a niche thing got an innovation from a simple man in his homeshed that would have revolutionized everything 800 years ago. Ya I go for it. Instant Legolas is brilliant. I don't wanna downplay Jörgs innovation. But to say that we rarely see game changing innovations is absolutely wrong in my book. You just got used to them very fast.
@@TheDashACorner Well it looks like we won't need anyone to make any game changing innovations in hair-splitting with you around! I was trying to pay the man a compliment, jeez. Lighten up.
I’m pretty sure there were other folk before joerg making similar units.. did joerg send them a fenrar? No because he and we have no idea who they are. Also it’s China..... they don’t follow international copyright law and the authorities don’t care
That looks enormous fun. It would be interesting to see how they overcame the string bypassing the ball if that’s possible? Is the string constrained within a narrow slot and if so what’s it lined with to stop it fraying?
Perhaps the magnet mentioned holds the ball and string together until string stops and breaks the magnetic attraction? Listening the 2nd time Jeorg explained it is done surprisingly by precise manufacture aligning string perfectly to prevent string sliding off center of ball.
I'd wrap that section of the string with a wire and attach a weak magnet to it somewhere safe, it's work like picking up a chain of paperclips. It only needs a small magnetic force.
@@onbedoeldekut1515 great idea. I thought about a wire somehow inside the string like the gold thread woven into the High Priest's clothing in the Bible to be conductive, then magnetize the metal thread like a magnetic screwdriver. Just rubbing the metal against a magnet during operation might keep a wire magnetized.
You could make a string from dyneema rope. That would allow you to insert a small neodymium magnet then put a few stitches either side to prevent the magnet moving.
@@steelcityriddims great idea. A very small magnet that is very weak and cupped to fit a ball like a sling pocket, made with perfect precision might allow less precise bow manufactured, and focus on the magnet to hold just right without much loss of power at release?
Here in the states its found by a different name, all sold my those random character named fly-by-night companies. About $300 give or take. For that you can still buy an actual rifle here. But looks fun!
The ricochet factor would be a concern using steel balls, where as lead just drops down in front of the target and not fly into the neighbours garden or worse window. Great weapon keep up the good videos.
Yeah, but who says it’s for backyard shooting? Steel BB are required in most hunting areas around the world from firearms, if that area is near drinking water, so it stands to reason that a lead ball would be a poor business decision.
@ren bao When the projectile bounces off the target and flies in other directions. Lead projectiles deform and lose most of their energy so they just fall down after hitting the target. Steel balls, especially bearing balls are much harder and more elastic and will have more energy left after impact.
@@schwuzi could not balls be made with a coating to absorb shock to resist bouncing upon hitting a target and still have an inside material that will stick to a magnet? Do balls already made for other purposes need to be used?
@@bookofrevelation4924 I'm sure there are some steel balls out there with a rubber coating but to be honest the ricocheting doesn't really matter most of the time. You shouldn't be shooting where you can break expensive stuff around you. And in a self defense situation you wouldn't care about breaking windows anyway.
If you're shooting that close to a neighbour's property in the UK, you're likely to get a swift visit from a police firearms unit. They do not take kindly to bows being fired in gardens near to other people, and treat use of such weapons the same as firearms. You are very likely to end up in court on a firearms charge for endangering the life of others. Just don't even think about it, unless you have a garden the size of Jourg's.
Seems like it would be easy enough to add 2 spring loaded ball detents, one above one below to keep the ball from rolling forward. Then you could use any ammo you want.
I might have to stop watching your videos and unsub.... You're going to make me spend all my money on stuff I'd probably get in trouble for owning in my state. LoL
Impressive accuracy! Should be great for small game and varmints, predators, driving off javalina or wild hogs which can be a nuisance here in the Southwest.
Honestly, I should probably get one before this thing sky rockets in price, looks very very cool and fun. Good video thanks for the info Joerg. Very cool.
I totally get that joy, "just one more..." "Ok one more now". I have a 10rd mag on my PCP rifle and I'll catch myself saying that , then reloading a magazine 😁
in the product description it says that you can/have to shoot 2 balls at once when draw weight of the bow is adjusted above 40lbs, did you try that too ?
I'd also like to know if it is an optional feature or if it is automaticly shooting 2 balls above 40lbs. Did Jörg mention how strong he has adjusted his bow, and wich bow he is using? It looks like the EK, am I right? They offer a set with a bow (it says 30-70lbs adjustable) and some extras wich i would be interested in, if it was any good...
*Me:* Officer, please! I need to keep the rabbits out of my garden! *The ATF Officer:* _looks suspiciously at the scary looking black bow_ *Me:* ...there's a lot of rabbits.

Ich wünschte ich hätte das Geld und könnte für meinen Bogen den Fenris dazukaufen. :( Was für ein Hammer Gerät.
Interesting idea, then it just becomes a mechanical bb gun however and might not be as legal in some areas. I am unsure of the specifics of german laws but i thought bows, slingshots ,etc were exempt from the joule limits of the bb guns.
Those broadheads cost 25€ per 3 bolts for a pistol crossbow, so cheap and plentiful steel balls loaded in large quantities (30rnd magazines anyone?) would be awesome. I trust Taiwanese brands, but not chinese, so I probably wouldn't buy this particular product though. I'd love to see more portable potent steel ball shooters - either as small EDCs or as larger home defence blasters - without relying on rubber bands that tend to expire in a few months.
I just love that you made it the instant legolas public domain! It just gives other creative people the opportunity to build up on your concept. The last revolutionary thing in archery (at least from what heard of) was the reverse draw crossbow. But that pattent is so heavily protected by it's owners that it's pretty much a dead project because they themselves made maybe 3 models and nobody else is allowed to even remotely use the design.
Making the design public domain serves no purpose other than to give a chance to every grifter to copy and try to undersell the original designer. Really a very myopic business decision on Joerg's part. Patenting a concept only protects it for commercial purposes, and only within the bounds to which it is presented, so therefore nothing would stop anyone making their own, or making a free to download copy, nor would it stop anyone building on it with novel features, and selling improvements either, were a patent for the device to be in place. In fact, were it to be in place, Joerg could even allow others to use the design commercially after vetting, while still retaining the right to protect against grifters.
Jörg, ist die Idee geprüft mit eine Sabo halten die Ball? Wenn es funktioniert, sollte das Design weniger Präzision erfordern Mein Deutsch ist so und so. aber für Übung und Spaß, warum nicht?. Hoffe du verstehst was ich versuche schrieben.
Bought it for my 12 year old to grow with him. Came with everything and just had to attach the accessories. I don’t know much about it so my husband and son attached everything. Seemed to take some time but they were able to attach everything just fine with no issues. Shoots great and good quality, very satisfied
I've been a fan of this channel for a very long time. Heck, I don't know if you remember me asking what pants you were wearing in your Jason Voorhees folding machete video but you responded to me quickly and I really appreciated it. You're one of the best out there and I'll continue to enjoy your content.
Being balls, there's no reason why it's not possible to have a magazine holding a hundred balls, and dropping one at a time. The action and motion imparted onto the superstructure should be enough to drop a ball into the last mag rail if they've bunched up.
I always thought you could wrap tape around the string where the ball touches it, just keep wrapping it until it was thick enough that the ball couldn't slide past.
You could try integrate a hopup chamber in the desing. Like in airsoft who shoot spheric proyectiles too and get larger range and precision. Just an idea.
I have a little crossbow that fires round toothpicks that uses the instant Legolas magazine system. It's adorable. I sent Joerg links and pictures. Company is Uncommon Carry.
Thank you! I just looked them up and they're cool. I'm totally gonna get one for my kid. The last thing I got him was a practice butterfly knife without sharp edges so it wouldn't cut him, but he could work on his skills. These crossbows are similar.
Hey Joerg, Would the specialised string you upgraded in other bows, suit this one? Fyi, there have been an increasing number of shipments being reported missing by channels in the last 6 months, where products have to be re-ordered multiple times. Ammunition & timber products feature prominently.
This is due to some of the delivery companies trying to fight firearm ownership where the legal system can't. We have had ups actually come out and say they are destroying packages with ammo and "gun parts" in them. Of course since these dummies don't know a trigger from a bolt carrier they sometimes target the other stuff as well.
Compoundbow strings use already dyneema or a mixture of dyneema and some other matrial to make them stronger and stretch less. Stringmakers normaly rate them for 10.000 shots. You might have to redo the centerserving more often if you use it with a Fenris. The turning of the cams has to be times right, so the cables and string need to be the right size or it will not shoot straight. With his splicing you have to be careful not to make that part of the sting to thick so it jumps from the cams. A compoudstring normally is pretwisted and pretentioned before it is mounted (stretched with around 300 pounds). Professional shooters change their strings maybe once a year, a hobbyshooter maybe every few years. Just check your servings from time to time, and maybe redo a wornout centerserving. Checked the string on my bow (70 pounds max). Under tension it is around 2mm and maybe 2.5 where it is served. So the strings he used would be to thick. There is not much room in the cams to fit a thicker string.
@@dylanzrim3635 Nope, these were completely legal stuff, ups is just going woke. They were intercepted mid shipping. There is currently lawsuits going on over it, possible class action. Also, protocol is inform law enforcement first IF it is illegal items. Then you get arrested, not sent a letter stating they aren't shipping those items anymore. So, yeah, kinda messed up.
Another great invention from Jorge that I love it's features! I Hagee to say your enthusiasm and laughter are always amazing and quite contagious so thanks again!
I'd not even think about ordering this in the UK. It has no legitimate, recognised sporting competitive outlet and is very likely to be classified as a weapon and confiscated on its way into the country if it's detected by customs. Which is probably why they're going missing in transit. Unless you've access to a large, private piece of land, such as Joerg's garden, you can't use it safely and with legitimate intent anywhere in the UK without breaking firearms laws, which are some of the strictest in the world. The police prosecute every time when they're violated, they take it VERY seriously. You can't even openly carry a bow here on the streets unless it's in a case, even as a member of legitimate archery club. Even in a case, you should never carry one with arrows as it could be construed as being ready to use. Just don't even think about it, it's a deadly weapon, not a fun toy, and will be treated as such by the UK courts. Joerg's a professional, who knows what he's doing, has a legitimate reason for owning one of these, has a very large garden, and is based in Germany, where firearms and weapons laws are different to those in the UK. You've not got any of those reasons to fall back on, and being convicted on any weapons or firearms charge will change your life for the worst.
It also possible to expand the mag size? When I asked myself that.. assumption of not possible due to ball baring lock mechanism (spring) would be compromised.
That's really cool it being universal. A bit pricey though, you can buy a Chinese compound bow at that price. Though this is Taiwanese quality so maybe that's a safer bet.
Something else simple(?) you could do would be to add a funnel or guide around the loading gate for the magazine to speed up reloading. You could also probably make some kind of a speed loader too for that matter. Have a tube long enough to hold ten balls with one end sealed and one end that opens. Come to think of it, maybe they make something similar for paintball guns. Those ball bearings look about the same size as typical paintballs.
Bei all den "wie wehr ich plünderer ab" vergessen viele eins- irgendwann ist garantiert die Munition/ Pfeile AUS!!! Und hier macht der Channel eine 360 Grad Drehung. Eine gute Präzisionsschleuder mit Armstütze und 2 Extragummis hat auch Vorteile- zur Not schiesst man mit allem. Und eine 12er Mutter, Stahlkugel, Stein whatever im Knie zb ist auch sehr überzeugend NICHT weiterzugehen. Nur ein Gedankenspiel 😁
So leid es mir tut, eine Schleuder ist in so einem Szenario sicher besser als nichts - aber nicht viel. Man braucht mehrschüssige Waffen mit guter Präzision und Wirkung.
it would be interesting to modify the loading mechanism such that you could fill a reusable fabric or plastic net tube with the steel balls, insert that all at once in the tube from the top or side, then pull the tube out of the magazine via a tab at he rear, leaving the balls in the magazine. acting as a speed loader. also be nice if capacity were more than ten.
It would be awesome if you could add the rail system to your little mini bow... I want something that is compact as possible but launches balls as fast as possible
Joerg, Veritasium just released a video about a clever jumping robot. I think you would have an absolute field day making a crossbow inspired by the design!
I'd love to see that with a bayonet, imagine you get surprised half way through the draw, just let go and the whole magazine/sled plus bayonet will go forward, would make for a fun video at the very least even if real world application isn't really realistic
You shouldn’t be shooting a bow at half draw or risk breaking it. And if you’re up against real people who can fight back? Just use an arrow with a broad-head
@@dylanzrim3635 not every bow will break so easy. If you are in a scenario where you need to take shots at a distant target, AND you may be ambushed at close range at any moment, than having a melee weapon at the ready is obviously a good idea. Mounting a blade on your bow(not to the limbs) serves to subtract the time it takes for your hand to travel to your weapon. If you are being attacked by surprise, every split second counts. One of my ideas is to basically have a one handed batleth built into the handle.

Jorgesprave where can I buy one of these? Your link doesn't work here in uk. I have looking on aliexpress but can't find? Have you a link please. Or can you recommend a good item. 500 euros is too much for me. I was looking at the WY4 ball bearing crossbow but the cocking is bad. Like this one you are using
Please do put it in the shop. Then get a USA distributor and prepare to send one to Washington State. You can't see past 50 yards for the woods I live in. And that looks just like what would suit this area so nice quiet strong enough for deterrent strong enough to take care of pests from coyote on down. Been following you since early bowling ball days just can't get enough of what you do.
I sometimes shoot lead balls with my slingshot with devistating results, please shoot this bow using lead balls and measure impact with jelly like you do with arrows. It wont fly as fast but heavy impact.
In China ,this kind of bow is consider as a Xbow so its illegal to sell or produce . But this structure is too new for the law , so there will no police care about it 😄
Nice introduction thank you very much Jörg. I have maybe an interesting question for you: I read in the description of this device, that under 40 pounds one steelball is released and over 40 pounds automatically two steelballs are released. Is it true or can I choose always 1 ball (cause I do not want to shoot 2 balls at a time).
If a sled is too heavy, and the string tends to bypass the balls, can a small bit of leather help like a 'pouch', or would it just introduce more chances of complications?
What about making the strings bigger where it pushes the ball? Maybe a little tape to make it larger and not as "smooth" against the ball. I am sure you could do it yourself Master Joerg. No need for the Chinese....
Ballistic gel test for this one would be cool to see.
Yeah I wanted to see the damage it did to the cans.

Checked the string on my bow (70 pounds max). Under tension it is around 2mm and maybe 2.5 where it is served. So the strings he used would be to thick. There is not much room in the cams to fit a thicker string.
@@dylanzrim3635 Nope, these were completely legal stuff, ups is just going woke. They were intercepted mid shipping. There is currently lawsuits going on over it, possible class action. Also, protocol is inform law enforcement first IF it is illegal items. Then you get arrested, not sent a letter stating they aren't shipping those items anymore. So, yeah, kinda messed up.
“11 fat balls” lol
Hey Jörg, have ever tried to build something for defense? Then you could test it with your offensive creations 🤔😉
I was thinking of a quickloader design for this "bow" small wrist tube with button chamber release in single file on exit into the chamber.
Hello. Can you give me link to website?
Another great invention from Jorge that I love it's features! I Hagee to say your enthusiasm and laughter are always amazing and quite contagious so thanks again!
I'd not even think about ordering this in the UK. It has no legitimate, recognised sporting competitive outlet and is very likely to be classified as a weapon and confiscated on its way into the country if it's detected by customs. Which is probably why they're going missing in transit.
Unless you've access to a large, private piece of land, such as Joerg's garden, you can't use it safely and with legitimate intent anywhere in the UK without breaking firearms laws, which are some of the strictest in the world. The police prosecute every time when they're violated, they take it VERY seriously. You can't even openly carry a bow here on the streets unless it's in a case, even as a member of legitimate archery club. Even in a case, you should never carry one with arrows as it could be construed as being ready to use.
Just don't even think about it, it's a deadly weapon, not a fun toy, and will be treated as such by the UK courts. Joerg's a professional, who knows what he's doing, has a legitimate reason for owning one of these, has a very large garden, and is based in Germany, where firearms and weapons laws are different to those in the UK. You've not got any of those reasons to fall back on, and being convicted on any weapons or firearms charge will change your life for the worst.
That has as many joules as a souped-up LTL launcher! We're talking coconut-cracking power!
It also possible to expand the mag size? When I asked myself that.. assumption of not possible due to ball baring lock mechanism (spring) would be compromised.
When asked if he preferred arrows or still balls Duke Nukem said "I got balls of steel" :)
That's really cool it being universal. A bit pricey though, you can buy a Chinese compound bow at that price. Though this is Taiwanese quality so maybe that's a safer bet.
there are already knock-offs made in china.
Now a smaller pistol 🔫 form
D, ,
Very cool!!! Quote of the day: Load your steel balls .... Slide one in..."
Something else simple(?) you could do would be to add a funnel or guide around the loading gate for the magazine to speed up reloading.
You could also probably make some kind of a speed loader too for that matter. Have a tube long enough to hold ten balls with one end sealed and one end that opens.
Come to think of it, maybe they make something similar for paintball guns. Those ball bearings look about the same size as typical paintballs.
Bei all den "wie wehr ich plünderer ab" vergessen viele eins- irgendwann ist garantiert die Munition/ Pfeile AUS!!! Und hier macht der Channel eine 360 Grad Drehung. Eine gute Präzisionsschleuder mit Armstütze und 2 Extragummis hat auch Vorteile- zur Not schiesst man mit allem. Und eine 12er Mutter, Stahlkugel, Stein whatever im Knie zb ist auch sehr überzeugend NICHT weiterzugehen. Nur ein Gedankenspiel 😁
So leid es mir tut, eine Schleuder ist in so einem Szenario sicher besser als nichts - aber nicht viel. Man braucht mehrschüssige Waffen mit guter Präzision und Wirkung.
Joerg, your videos and ideas always make me smile and make me feel like a kid again!
Would love some more explanation on the scope I'm assuming it works like a rifle scope not a normal bow sight???????
it would be interesting to modify the loading mechanism such that you could fill a reusable fabric or plastic net tube with the steel balls, insert that all at once in the tube from the top or side, then pull the tube out of the magazine via a tab at he rear, leaving the balls in the magazine. acting as a speed loader. also be nice if capacity were more than ten.
It would be awesome if you could add the rail system to your little mini bow... I want something that is compact as possible but launches balls as fast as possible
These Bearing bows are a great idea! I think it would be cool to have this setup with the limbless crossbows!
Joerg, Veritasium just released a video about a clever jumping robot. I think you would have an absolute field day making a crossbow inspired by the design!
1:30 when she got a snapscore over 1 mil
I'd love to see that with a bayonet, imagine you get surprised half way through the draw, just let go and the whole magazine/sled plus bayonet will go forward, would make for a fun video at the very least even if real world application isn't really realistic
You shouldn’t be shooting a bow at half draw or risk breaking it.
And if you’re up against real people who can fight back? Just use an arrow with a broad-head
@@dylanzrim3635 not every bow will break so easy.
If you are in a scenario where you need to take shots at a distant target,
AND you may be ambushed at close range at any moment,
than having a melee weapon at the ready is obviously a good idea.
Mounting a blade on your bow(not to the limbs) serves to subtract the time it takes for your hand to travel to your weapon.
If you are being attacked by surprise, every split second counts.
One of my ideas is to basically have a one handed batleth built into the handle.
@@TrickinNinja you never want blades to be pointing away from attacker and at your self the wielder.
It won't be shooting, the bayonet in the chest will slow the whole sled down to avoid damaging anything if you get what I mean?
@@David-bc4rh ummm...... Ok?
Also don't changes lanes while driving unless you've checked it's clear.
And always wear gloves when handling sea anemones, they very poisonous.
That thing looks amazingly fun!!
Ich kann da nicht den Vorteil gegenüber einer guten Zwille erkennen,im Gegenteil,sperrig und umständlich-aber wer´s mag.....!🤔🤨
Viel schnellere Schussfolge, perfektes Zielsystem (Laser oder Red Dot) und keinerlei Übungsbedarf.
Could you devise a siege / crossbow version of this?
In Jörgs Garten würde es sich bestimmt lohnen mal mit einem Metalldetektor lang zu gehen. 😂👍
Dr Livesey vibes!
Would have liked a look at that bucket target, and the dog food can. Great shooting!
Glad your not born in mideaval times you would changed history wit that bow
Oh my goodness! Greatest thing ever. Great to see you having so much fun!

What poundage is that bow set at?
get a ballistic dummy torso......
it should be the instant Sprave, legolas is fiction, Sprave is the THE MAN
Jorgesprave where can I buy one of these? Your link doesn't work here in uk. I have looking on aliexpress but can't find? Have you a link please.
Or can you recommend a good item. 500 euros is too much for me.
I was looking at the WY4 ball bearing crossbow but the cocking is bad. Like this one you are using
Please do put it in the shop. Then get a USA distributor and prepare to send one to Washington State. You can't see past 50 yards for the woods I live in. And that looks just like what would suit this area so nice quiet strong enough for deterrent strong enough to take care of pests from coyote on down. Been following you since early bowling ball days just can't get enough of what you do.
You should make a "powder flask" for the ball bearings. That would be a neet aside for you.
WOW! TALK ABOUT A FAST SHOOTING STRINGED PRODUCT! Just not sure about its accuracy...
I sometimes shoot lead balls with my slingshot with devistating results, please shoot this bow using lead balls and measure impact with jelly like you do with arrows. It wont fly as fast but heavy impact.
1:38
Lead may deform too much on the hard rails of this thing unless hard- plated. They also tend to not be as uniform.
Would some kind of hopper work on top like in a paintball gun to feed into the slot?
In China ,this kind of bow is consider as a Xbow so its illegal to sell or produce . But this structure is too new for the law , so there will no police care about it 😄
Nice introduction thank you very much Jörg.
I have maybe an interesting question for you: I read in the description of this device, that under 40 pounds one steelball is released and over 40 pounds automatically two steelballs are released. Is it true or can I choose always 1 ball (cause I do not want to shoot 2 balls at a time).
Id like to see a magazine you can clip in with pre loaded balls just for speed reload for self protection
How is the German weapon law about the usage of bearing balls? Is a bow still not covered by the German Waffengesetz?
If a sled is too heavy, and the string tends to bypass the balls, can a small bit of leather help like a 'pouch', or would it just introduce more chances of complications?
I wonder if you could use some of the design features of the rail to make a slingshot pump action rifle. That fire's those 50mm steal balls.
20 foot-pounds (27 Joules) of energy. Not bad, but you’re better off with an arrow at that energy level.
What about making the strings bigger where it pushes the ball? Maybe a little tape to make it larger and not as "smooth" against the ball. I am sure you could do it yourself Master Joerg. No need for the Chinese....
