Guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 For those that can't get a shotgun or firearm licence, check this out this slingshot. More powerful than most air rifles at close range, would even equal some small arms I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Sometimes your posts amaze me Koz. If someone can't get a shotgun/firearm licence it's usually because they're under age or some kind of mentalist. Do you seriously think it would be a good idea for these people to have a powerful 'slingshot' (catapault) in their possession? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 4.08 minutes on a catapult breaking a coconut, I don't know who is worse? the numpty in the video or Koz08 for posting it. I watched about 4 seconds and then gave up. Poontang is spot on the money, some people shouldn't have guns and that guy certainly is one of them. Walting sensationalism at the extreme I fear.

BlaserF3 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Now when I were a lad we used to fire 1/2" ball bearings with our catapults...I suppose it would be too dangerous today though. Aye ...happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 catapults are fun when youre a kid - those steel bb's make one hell of a clang when they hit corrugated iron (the type used around police stations... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizzy Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Got bored one day, Put one of the old "Milbro" catapaults over the chrono. Firing Jelly babies, achieved 24 foot pound. Got me thinking to supply the army with jelly baby guns, would it be killing with sweetness ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevethevanman Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I have seen his video where he shoots, a catapult into a leg of Lamb and it actually crushes up the bone and flies straight through the meat Interesting a little bit.

I wasn't implying you do anyhting illegal with it, I was just saying this is a good alternative in case you don't have a fire arm. PS. Hello to all the haters!!!

Bleeh Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 let's be fair here, non of us arn't going to get that sort of power out of a slingshot without doing the weights a bit. He's a big man, and even he's having trouble pulling that cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah, also notice that he uses like a metal clipper to pull on the rubber then release the clip when he has reached maximum length. That is no easy fet of course, some seriously strong rubber. You can see in the beginning of the video how much stronger the rubber he is using for the slingshot compared to normal rubber tubing that you would use for a normal slingshot.
