Never hit my hand, and the slow motion (recorded with the high speed camera) clearly shows that there is a safe distance between the path of the ball and my finger...
It’s really cool seeing how you’ve progressed as a media personality. And you learned that you could do a whole video on one or two weapons and not be boring about it.
Cool! I spent my childhood searching for the best form of a slingshot. Me and dad never managed to make slingshots like those. Your designs are beyond imagination man.
I suggest corundum, it has a very high density. A 17,5 mm coundum stone weighs 10 gramms, as much as a 14 mm steel ball. Not bad! You can find it on ebay, not very expensive,
Good news for you: AFAIK only Y-shaped slingshots are illegal in Australia. This means that the Gloveshot, the "W" frames and the stickshots are legal.
I only recently stumbled across your channel while researching info on archery and I have to say I absolutely love it. Your creativity never ceases to amaze me, and I can see why the Germans are leaders in innovative engineering. Unfortunately in Australia Sling shots are illegal in most states excluding the territories. Keep up the great work and entertaining vids.
GREAT JOB!!! I just found your videos and very impressed. Im going to try some homemade inspired by you. I have an old store bought one from the 70s I had since i was a kid with a pistol grip and a rubbernet rist strap and upgraded to large tubes for hunting and targets. It will put a marble right through a jackolantern and very accurate. After watching you, things are about to get a little more technical...and fun. What a great pasttime for me and my sons (7 + 3 ).Thanks a ton!!!
Dear JoergSprave: My channel is made because of you.....Thank you for introducing the world of rubber weapons to me. P.S Do you have any of these sling still?
Absolutely gorgeous collection you have there Joerg. My favorite sling at the moment is my Joerg Sprave limited edition Dankung. I love the way my pinky can hold the sling after a hard shot. I have it set up with double theraband gold, each band about 1 1/4 inches wide and 9.5 inches long from tie to attachment. I added a leather wrist band and removed the para-cord so the finger holes would be as big as possible. It feels like a Remington bolt action rifle from the old west. I love this sling!
hab mit schleudern nix am hut, aber ich mag die videos weil du dich immer freust wie ein schneekönig wenn du was durch die gegend schleuderst. :) sympathischer typ
I also own many commercially made slingshots, in fact all I could find that have no wrist braces (those are indeed illegal here). But this video is 100% about home made slingshots!
Well, because someone might attack your home, and these are the only legal weapons left in some countries. Noone gives you any kind of guarantee. Certainly not me. But I have never ever hit my hand when I shot the W.
@JOADUE Well, so far 2,400,000 youtubers watched my vids, more than 7,000 subscribed, and I do get mostly positive remarks. I guess the question is who needs comments like yours?
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Wow, youre more informed than I am about the legalities re slingshots in Australia. I didnt realise the ban applied only to the Y type slingshots. I used to make sling shots out of tree forks and red rubber bands when I was a youngster but they had no where near the power that yours have + the bands were chained together and kept breaking a lot. Thx for the info. e about the 80's but never realised that the bans only applied to Y shaped types.
You're quite an inventor and designer of slingshots. They seem like they're powerful. I guess the ammo you use in the sling is a lot bigger than most bullets used in guns so they would do more damage IF it had the same power as a gun.
Man you have a real eye for it. I used to do the same thing when I was a kid and now I'm 50 and I'm looking for the mail man for rubber bands like I did when I was young. Thank you and the adder is such a great bow... good luck to u sir and hats off to your skill
Great video Jorg!! but i do have one question. Have you ever shot yourself while holding a slingshot such as the freddie cougar slingshot where your finger is in the slingshots path. But you have the best slingshots out there!
@thedoe51 For that, only my strongest frames/bands qualify. You don't want to risk the ghoul surviving the hit. I would also use one of my slingshot crossbows to cleansweep an area from a rooftop.
We don’t want any ghouls surviving do we? Here in England we have goblins, trolls and orcs to worry about too! God help you if they survive a hit. Usually a 7 mm ball bearing takes care of them. “Clean sweep”
Joerg, would you mind if I used the montage at the end, and sampled some of those sounds as drum sounds? I'd give full credit to you and this video as the provider for the sounds, just wanted your permission
No other way of saying it, the man's a genius! They're things of beauty Joerg! As for the one with the kinves and the tazer etc. I laughed out loud when I saw that beast. Totally nuts, but in a nice way. Thakns for sharing.
You, Sir, are a testament to all that is man. Also, I really like your 'Mask' slingshot, as hitting my hand with the band was always a problem with my old sling. It's a great idea and implemented well, as are all of your other ones. Keep up the good work!
Making it yourself is much more fun, and not hard. Watch my video "Where to get the parts for slingshots". If you want to buy one, join the slingshotforum (free), lots of great tips.
Excellent video, I'm glad I've subscribed, your designs are the most unique I've ever seen.I said it before and I'll say it again,you must have a major in mechanical engineering and it also helps to have a good imagination for such ideas.
I also have some wooden slingshots and like them because of the light weight. But metal is my element! What kind of ammo do you use? I guess steel and lead are a no-no if you have to pass through metal detectors.

"and this is my 14th slingshot, very strong, I killed a dragon with it yesterday..."
Hahaha 😎
Back to the time when Joerg didnt know how to laugh..
HA HA HA HA
He still can’t it’s just his best try
@@christopherohare1243 God bless him at least he tries
😂
lol
Cool! I spent my childhood searching for the best form of a slingshot. Me and dad never managed to make slingshots like those. Your designs are beyond imagination man.
Well, a less strong shooter has to use weaker bands, that is all. Thanks for the praise!
Mr. Sprave Could you teach me how to make those Slingshots? Please
Jörg Sprave must have been a nightmare to neighbors growing up ,broken window panes
He still is....growing up and a nightmare to his neighbors
buru kenge you might be so right:)
His kids must be the most feared in their neighborhood.
buru kenge thank
maybe his father worked as a window repair man ;)
Old, but still an effective video, still one of the better basic hand slingshot video's on the web.
awesome to see each shot successively at the end. no matter what weapon, your form stays consistent. inspiring
I just love sick people that are actually very serious about their craft and do genuine experimentation. LOVE THIS GUY.
@MrChangCJ These fork arms are made from steel. You can drive a truck over the frame.
@markdionne I realize that. Then again, "public disobedience" is not uncommon in the US, which is a good thing.
wow, so you're really serious about this stuff. I admire anyone with so much dedication to a single dicipline.
Against my better judgement, I showed this to my 13 year old son. He is absolutely hooked.
I suggest corundum, it has a very high density. A 17,5 mm coundum stone weighs 10 gramms, as much as a 14 mm steel ball. Not bad!

crazy slingshots jorg
I've watched loads of Jorg's clips and it's hard not to be impressed by his enthusiasm and ingenuity. Keep up the good work mate.
I actually have used flat bands in the V, works fine. But the flat bands will tear much sooner than the tubes.
@XzebraXboy You know, foul language manages to underline your lack of intelligence. It is time for you to move on.
@acoustifried No, this is what happens if a man found a great hobby.
this video is awesome and you are awesome, never stop posting
Joerg, you really have great designs using great material.
Ich habe eine kleine Hobby-Drehbank und ein Schutzgas-Schweissgerät. Die Bedienung habe ich mir selbst beigebracht, ich bin eigentlich Kaufmann.
Never saw this classic. Very glad Joerg has gotten more creative over the last decade.
I have to say, that self defence slingshot was ridiculous but I would own one of those.
I love how you are so passionate about your hobby. Some of your designs are quite ingenious as well.
that one kinda aged weird
I only recently stumbled across your channel while researching info on archery and I have to say I absolutely love it. Your creativity never ceases to amaze me, and I can see why the Germans are leaders in innovative engineering.

Best slingshots in the world!!
All the videos you post are really inspiring and really make me want to build my own crossbow and sling shot. Brilliant designs!
fantastic collection ... looks like we will be having a slingshot museum in the future. Nicely done simple video
People who don't watch youtube pass by this man every day, ignorant of the superpowers hidden within.
GREAT JOB!!! I just found your videos and very impressed. Im going to try some homemade inspired by you.

Joerg makes the best stuff ever.

Nothing shy of amazing, nice work Joerg.
Ganz fantastisch gemacht, Herr Sprave! Ha ha ha ha ha! I enjoyed viewing its features! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Dang I did not realize this was such a long standing channel!
After all this time brother I can still say you do a great job. I get inspired by your videos every time I watch them. Keep inventing J .
My comment is to show I care and support your videos. -Big Thumbs Up.
i am very impressed at your ability to create such unique and powerful slingshots
Cool man! Very nice! Time to make some slingshots!
You've grown a long way as a TH-cam creator, well done :) I enjoy all your videos
hab mit schleudern nix am hut, aber ich mag die videos weil du dich immer freust wie ein schneekönig wenn du was durch die gegend schleuderst. :)
sympathischer typ
dude your self defense slingshot is insane!!! the dude who tries 2 mug you if you have that on you .. is in for a huge surprise
I also own many commercially made slingshots, in fact all I could find that have no wrist braces (those are indeed illegal here).
But this video is 100% about home made slingshots!
Your best video!
Man, your sling shots are amazing.
This channel is awesome.
Well, because someone might attack your home, and these are the only legal weapons left in some countries.
Noone gives you any kind of guarantee. Certainly not me. But I have never ever hit my hand when I shot the W.
some amazing sling shots
nice one jorg
I must be done for the night,. last night I watched this guy for 6 hours. Very great guy
@JOADUE Well, so far 2,400,000 youtubers watched my vids, more than 7,000 subscribed, and I do get mostly positive remarks. I guess the question is who needs comments like yours?
Wow! Your channel has been around for a while, and it is still going strong. Even getting better!
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

Well done, nice vid and nice slingshots. thumbs up
Put a rubber on and your in business! Really great designs Joerg!
I like really like your channel! Awesome
@1crazyfocker No, I have guns as well. But those are loud, smelly, expensive to shoot and you can't make good ones at home.
That self defense slingshot looks pretty epic, but imagine if your left hand slipped and those knifes came flying at you.
Self defense slingshot looks dangerous! That vertical slingshot is a very neat design.
You are my long lost german brother! I swear you and I could be clones. The bow shaped vertical sling is incredible! I love them all!!!!!
Amazing to see the changes in ergonomics since this video came out!
I LOVE THE SELF DEFENSE ONE!!!
You're quite an inventor and designer of slingshots. They seem like they're powerful. I guess the ammo you use in the sling is a lot bigger than most bullets used in guns so they would do more damage IF it had the same power as a gun.
Almost 2020.....
Great video...!!🐥

Oh, and those are very cool slingshots:)
Great video Jorg!! but i do have one question. Have you ever shot yourself while holding a slingshot such as the freddie cougar slingshot where your finger is in the slingshots path. But you have the best slingshots out there!
awesome . thank you very much
Love the variety! Thanks for posting.
The "V" looks like it hits hard!
Sir! You are a genius .Thanks só much
Das ist mein Hobby. An Geld bin ich nicht interessiert.
men o men all those slingshots and weapons he make are awsome , those weapons are cool
Your a good man! Reminds me of my uncle and the sling shots he made us out of wire
I loved them all i can't decide which one I liked the most
some amazing sling shots

Wonderfull! I apreciate that you can find the necessary time to design this wonderfull weapons! In this moment,Germany is the best country ever!
Very nice work . I will made some for my self for next trip to Europe .
Ok das wusste ich nicht. Danke für die schnelle Rückmeldung ;)
brutal arsenal!!!
Awesome video
Ich will dich in Zombies bekämpfen sehen, Jörg! Absolut genial!
Als Junge habe ich ein paar Vögel aus den Bäumen geholt und einmal eine Ratte erlegt. Aber jetzt bin ich zu weich, um Tiere zu töten.
Joerg, would you mind if I used the montage at the end, and sampled some of those sounds as drum sounds? I'd give full credit to you and this video as the provider for the sounds, just wanted your permission
This is one of the best weapon for a zombie apocalypse.
@TheTorakal Beides.
Awesome video great up loaded.
I am really digging the bands inside the body of the slingshot concept
No other way of saying it, the man's a genius! They're things of beauty Joerg!
As for the one with the kinves and the tazer etc. I laughed out loud when I saw that beast. Totally nuts, but in a nice way.
Thakns for sharing.
OMG I HAVENT WATCHED UR CHANNEL IN YEARS!!!!! I SUBBED
You, Sir, are a testament to all that is man. Also, I really like your 'Mask' slingshot, as hitting my hand with the band was always a problem with my old sling. It's a great idea and implemented well, as are all of your other ones.

Awesome video man, a cool idea would be a knuckle duster slingshot combo with knuckle spices and stuff for close combat :)
Sehr Nice !
I also have some wooden slingshots and like them because of the light weight. But metal is my element!
What kind of ammo do you use? I guess steel and lead are a no-no if you have to pass through metal detectors.
great designs. thanks for sharing.
