Three extremely powerful slingshots

- New slingshots, guys! Yes, I have made another three pieces.
This presentation includes the revolutionary "H" slingshot, with a roller based draw length extension. Using very wide, thick flat bands, the amount of power that has been achieved is tremendous.
This video contains super slow motion material shot with the Casio EX-F1 Pro camera at 1200 frames per second.
Got this randomly recommended today. Quite interesting to see some of his old videos again
same, interesting to see videos from when he was the slingshot guy and not the instant legolas guy.
@LAMBOFGODNOOBLUKEC
1. I am not sad, as I have a hobby that I love dearly.
2. No 6 year old kid can draw out my slingshots, believe me.
3. I legally own 34 firearms, but I can't shoot them in my garden, plus they create noise, stink and costs.
your the man
Wow! I don't think I've ever seen such a well thought out design as your "H" pattern slingshot. Sad? Definitely not. Obviously the opinion of a an eejut who has nothing better to do with their time than hate on people. May his arse itch until the end of his days.
@@oktc68 Initially when he showed the 3 slingshots I couldn't comprehend the advantage of the design of the H. I even wondered if perhaps it was over engineered. He explained it perfectly though. Now I'm only curious about accuracy & effective range.
Ten years on.. I think your number of fans shows you are not sad!
Its so funny to watch older videos and see how shy you were to let your emotions through
Only one way. Make one, or have it made by someone sho has the right tools. I never sell my slingshots! Love them too much.
Do you have any tips on how to carve a good slingshot from a natural fork?
What elastic is this tell me pls
How about now, in these times? Would you consider selling them now? Would like to buy.
maybe you should post design drawings so we can staet where you are.
Well, the "H" requires welding equipment and skills. So it is not easy for an average person! It is my most powerful slingshot, more than 70 Joules of energy. That is much more than a BB gun does (air guns do 4 to 30 Joules, at the most).
Thank you,sir.
I use Thera Band, you can find it on ebay. Gold, Black and Blue work best. You need a rollcutter and a steel ruler to cut the bands from the Thera Band, it is very wide when you buy it (14 cm).
This guy is a legend, I wish I lived next door to him, he has a passion for this and that is cool..
I take if you have no passions or hobbies of your own then? You mustn't if you wish to live next door to someone just because they have a passion in life. Don't we all?
@@elyanae9588 Bro stop yelling at him for a comment 7 years ago.. 😅
He's probably his neighbour by now
Well, maybe not right 'next-door' . . . especially at the back!
My strongest slingshot ever (the "H" achieved 72 Meters per second with 30 Gramm bullets. That is 78 Joules, almost as much as a .22 bullet from a pistol. But you need heavy bullets, the speed of rubber is limited. More than 80 Meters per second is noz possible, even with very light bullets.
Yes, exercise bands, Thera Band Gold made by the Hygienic Corp. You have to cut them with a ruler and a sharp knife.
thats crazy
Yes. The H is very powerful due to the flat bands, which are faster than tubes. But the tubes last longer and are powerful enough, the difference is not huge.
Nobody will ever be as badass as this guy. EVER!!!
I buy mine on ebay, but just type "Thera Band Gold" into google. You should find plenty of suppliers.
Boshy, my name is Jörg, with an "Umlaut" O. Since that character does not exist in the English language, it is commonly replaced by an "oe".
i lIke it how he looks proud as punch after every time he fires a sling :-D
love this channel.
I've made a few OP slings in my day. I have to say, that H model sling is the way to go. With a few minor changes it could be Next-level-GOOD. I have an idea to make this and incorporate the action of a compound bow. I made a few variations in the past, but never thought to do it like this. This puts a whole new dimension on slings and their limits.
I love your innovative weapon builds. I only tinker with slings tho
Most of them.
But I have just started to buy some commercial slingshots in order to compare them to my selfmade ones. Check out "The great slingshot shootout".
"Funny" isn't quite the correct term. "Fatal" is much more adequate.
Certainly. If a band breaks at the fork, then the rubber hits you like a whipm on steroids, right in your face. An eye is a vulnerable body part that I, for one, don't want to loose.
Watching in 2019 😂😂. 10 years challenge 😂😂
You're not the only one 😂😂
Same. I looked up worlds strongest slingshot knowing I’d find a video of his. I’m a more recent viewer (5 years or so)
Wow time went by quick
2021 There XD.
I'm watching it now lol
I got a bag of marbles for my boys marble run, but their too small... So had a thought... Now I'm watching this lol
If the Germans in WW2 had these sling shots, they would have won the war.
Good to know, since I can't help it!
Dude I don't think anyone would want to rob you
I welded the H from steel rods, from scratch. The metal balls are iron, not steel, and have been bought on ebay, for about 2 Euros a piece. They already come threaded, built to your order. Earlier, I used ball bearings, those are cheap, but you can't drill through them and welding is difficult.
Hey Joerg, I love your videos and watch with interest...
Slingshots may not have the range and power of firearms, but to folks interested in "primitive" wilderness survival skills; the sheer effectiveness of these "primitive" "childrens" "toys" will NEVER allow them to be outdated relics... keep it up... great work!!!
This guy is the only slingshotter I trust on YT.
rollers on slingshots!? thats some next level tech
I do make them myself, but I do not sell them. Selling them would mean to put a price tag on my weekend hours... I refuse to do that.
Stu,
flat bands are faster and therefore more powerful than tubes. I think they have less inner friction than tubes, that's why. But they are harder to make and also they break earlier than tubes.
No such thing as the perfect solution!
it intimidates me when after he shoots he looks at the camera.
good designs!
Oh man, classic safety goggles and a tank top! This is where the magic started. Crazy to realize it's been 13 years of physics.
If you aren't as strong as I am, then you would have to use weaker bands. Still, the power would be remarkable, you'd be surprised.
My slingshots don't have a huge draw force, about 50 lbs is maximum. Most people can pull 50 lbs easily, bows often have 70 lbs or more. But you need a powerful grip, as you pull the pouch with just the thumb and index finger.
U R Right AGAIN!!
i like how everyone says these are for little kids but if u pointed one at them they would freak out, these are manly slingshots
Elliott,
I currently do not sell my slingshots, this is just a hobby.
Having said that, I do get so many requests that I may start a business in the future. But nothing's planned so far.
Jörg
heyy love your videos i got a slingshot my own !! Great hobby !!
Did you ever start selling sling shots @joergsprave
Very nice engineering with the "H"
You are a genius at slingshots. I used to live with my slingshot as a child and was a fantastic shot, and now I miss it :(
I was waiting for him to say "I'm going to pump you up." or "My slingshots are going to pump you up."
that roller idea is plain genius
Not very. I end up paying about 2 Euros (3 US dollars) for a set of bands. One set can last a few hundred shots.
Can't believe how much this channel has grown! Always knew Joerg had it in him. Dude now has revolutionised archery and is even more badass that he was in this video. Goodluck man.
Tonight´s the night
The "V" uses tubular rubber. It lasts longer, but is slower. Even the "H" can not really achieve much more than 300 fps, but that is no problem because you just use heavy bullets. Those have lots of energy even at a "slow" speed. My heaviest bullets are .91" lead balls.
I noticed that in each and every one of your videos you shoot the sling shot and right after you shoot it you look directly into the camera's lens like that was the most badass thing you have done in your life. I love your videos and your work, just wanted to point that out because it makes me crack up every time you shoot a sling shot!!! hahaha :)
watch how every time he takes a shot he looks at the camera, likes he's a badass
@Reverseflush Sure, accidents happen. But fortunately I never hit my hand with full force. Those who live by the sword...
@mosspump22 You can't buy these, I make them for my own collection and never sell. This is just a hobby.
i dont know why people are hateing on this guy he looks pretty fit to me (fit dossent mean your a toothpick) he has a nice house/yard (money) and is oubviously intellegent, to design and build slingshots and speak multiple langues. and who gives a shit what you like to do BTW nice slingshots.
He's so different back then.
The tapering greatly enhances the power, because there is less weight at the end of the bands (the pouch side). For the other issues, why don't you register at the slingshotforum? I am a moderator there.
@SRMeadows So what exactly did you find so funny? I just think you are one more lame troll. Off you go from my comment pages.
@Viper 😂
That H design is really clever...

Joerg, The only man I know that is probably DEADLIER with a slingshot then most men are with a firearm! Plus the catch phrase: LET ME SHOW YOU IT'S FEATURES, Makes you wonder if he is a Genius or a Madman! I could literally imagine him holding off a small army with a Slingshot, Rapid Fire Crossbow and some odd new device he created out of rubber tunes, bent steel a scuba tank and several large arrow tips! Can you imagine the CARNAGE of several wound and dead enemies lying in his front yard all the while Joerg is GRINNING MADLY running tord the rest of them, Pump Action Crossbow in hand BELLOWING "LET ME SHOW YOU IT'S FEATURES"!
There is a steel frame of course, Fimo without a solid core would break very easily. It is just modelling clay.
Everyone wishes they had an uncle like this. What a cool guy.
They are very well behaved slingshots with no handslap to talk about .... i am very impressed and i will be copying some of you idead ... hope you dont mind
I don't live in NY, but in Hagen/Germany.
The shirt is misleading. Sorry for that,
It would be cool to see speed gun measurements. The third one really is a great functional improvement.
WOW the H sling shot would look totally brutal with maybe a mounted stabalizing attachment that goes over the holding hand's fore arm? Like those Wrist rockets.
You are a genius man, Def want you on my team for the apocalypse!
Joerg, you rock! Smart, creative, and awesome! Amazing slingshots!
I don't have the strength to draw a slingshot back or a bow. At 72 my youth and strength are waning. Wish I had a powerful slingshot with a mechanism for drawing the rubber band back.
Dude you got me into making my own slingshots
Jörg!!! You seemed so serious in these older videos. Almost frightening. lol
1:50 I think that sounds like a painful name! lol
that H Frame is awesome I would love to own it.
On the "H" slingshot was good thinking. Amazing.
The " H" looks deadly
Slingshots were the first real weapon I had as a kid grandfather showed us how to make them from the branches of a tree rubber bands and a tongue of leather from an old shoe
imagine how badass this dude would sound without that accent
Why does anyone give this guy shit, he's awesome, and you sure as hell wouldn't say it too his face.
the "H" is my favourite out of all of your slingshots. I'm going to make one and brag to people that it's german engineered :D !
Nice freaking camera! and I LOVE the slingshots. Good Job
Albert Einstein? Na You're an example of a Genius
Very cool slingshots btw. I used to have a few my self a while ago. My favorite was one that had a wrist rest. You should design some with this feature. Keep shooting!!!
What do you mean by "ripped"?
If you refer to body strength, it is very easy to use individual (weaker) bands. Even a normal, untrained person can draw a quite powerful slingshot.
I like your "H" slingshot. Its like a compound bow in slingshot form! =D
Amazing video as always, Jörg. Just a question, did you've already measured the power of the H slingshot?
Greetings from Brazil!
Damn.. I realy like the "H" one..
If I haven't seen this video and somebody said ballfork, I might've pictured something else entirely.
Allistaire A like what? Balls and a fork? Ok
@gaveen666 Not easy, but doable. Millions of Germans legally own firearms. Hunters, sport shooters, collectors, security guards, heirs... lots of accepted reasons. I own 34 handguns, with permit of course. Problem is you can't shoot them in your garden, not even unregulated air rifles. Slingshots have no such limits.
@LAMBOFGODNOOBLUKEC A life threatening hobby is for fools, not men. A grownup man does what he likes to do, not what others think he should - at least in his leisure time. But anyway YOUR hobby seems to be leaving comments of questionable content on my pages. You should reconsider.
Hmm... I think he almost looks younger in his 2019 videos. Hahahaha the facial hair does him well..
@Nathan6D9 Don't forget that the biggest butts lifts the heaviest weights.
i like the background garden!
Greetings Joerg,
Two things. First, nice muscles. Are you naturally that big?
Second, Interesting ideas. As an engineer, I would disagree about why the last slingshot is so powerful. To me, not only is the rubber have a great cross section and thus able to store more energy. But the "work path" of the last slingshot is longer. So it can accelerate the projectile longer. The first one also reaches the coasting phase of the flight first. So, it begins slowing down first.
those slingshots scare the crap outta me
@Joerg
Have you contemplated using off center cams with heavy springs to make a conceptual compound action slingshot? I think the outcome would be interesting, as I wonder if it would hyper-accelerate over a short period of time the contrasction of the rubber tubing.
Concept: Bands going over roller bearings down the handle connecting to off center cam on bearings. spring from each cam to handle. Should work like a compound bow in principle.
Just a thought.
That's very interesting and I wonder if you have seen anything like that yet, from the time you made your comment to now
Like the H better... thanks 4 sharing....
I make the 3 rd one it's more calibre more range more speed..
It's world's most in built quality sling shot...if Army want one is that's it..
Really great slingshots again Joerg!
Please don't change your accent, I like it!! Now I even speak to customers like that! :)
I really like the design of the "H" slingshot! good job man! my respects!
Nowhere. You have to make one.
Hi Joerg,
Just happened upon your channel as I'm reasearching catapults/slingshots with a view to making my own model for hunting rabbits.You've given me a lot of food for thought,
Thank you,
Black
this quality is better than most vids here in 2015
Some very innovative designs & information. Thanks for sharing them. I would like to see more.
If you've ever stretched the powerful bands all the way back with a smooth, small rock in the pad expecting to release the projectile into an unsuspecting squirrel only to have the rock ricochet off the top of your outstretched hand holding the slingshot, you won't be doing that again.
Damn he looks much younger a waaaay much meaner here :D
I like modern day "jolly dad" version of him much more :)
Thx for the idea of ''compound'' slingshot.
Just a couple of observations. I've found that nuts sit more nicely than bearings in the sling and are also a lot cheaper (especially if scrap) for similar accuracy. The second relates to rubber powered spearguns, with which I have a great deal of experience. Sure, you can achieve higher power by using a shorter rubber. Stretching them to within an inch of their lives however, results in a life of only about a tenth of what you'd get with a more relaxed stretch. Higher power is better achieved by adding an extra rubber (if you need it).
Always add a rubber if you need it
I love all your videos, I have made your H shape frame out of 3/4" in the middle for your hand and 1/2" pvc for the rest of the frame with tee's at the top and caps at the bottom, Im trying to find the band material, I plan to use 11mm. The next one I make I want to mount a wisker biscut on it and a zebco 33 fishing reel for bow fishing. Hopefully what you are doing will incourage young men to find things like this to put themselves into. Great job Sir !!!
Bodybuilder for slingshots ! 😱 i don’t need them !...
you just know that if Jorge is ever coming at you with a sling shot its game over man ....love you Jorge all the best for this year ahead man keep up the inspiring work!
Peace . L
