I expected a ricochet, therefore I shot at an angle. I didn't expect the ricochet to be that fast, though. And if you want to be "my friend", then please don't use foul language on my comment pages.
Where is he getting those different color strength tubings? I wanted tubes instead of flatband but trumark doesn’t make replacement sets anymore and all the different colored Chinese ones are just the same as the weak yellow. I only managed to find decent red bands from other brand.
Of course! That was thousands of years before Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber. David slings are very powerful, but also extremely hard to master. Lots of practice. No problemfor a sheppard, but who else has the time?
@thesashworth Flat rubber bands are faster and therefore more powerful than tubes. Plus, flatbands can be tapered for even more performance. The thinner the rubber, the larger the surface, the easier the bands can pick up heat from the environment. Rubber stores the energy thermally, so picking up heat is the key to performance.
I do, minus the squads. Had a motorcycle accident when I was 19, the knee was damaged and I got to be careful. And I do not use steroids, never have, never will.
@emwaver Ad revenue doesn't even pay for the materials I use up every month, but I sold that house with broken window and all. Still got a good price for it.
No, that never happened to me. If you watch my slow motion studies (here on youtube), you will see how smooth things work. A hit on the hand would be truly devastating. The slingshot has enough power to break your bones.
Actually that is not my experience. I tested all kinds of rubber with my Chrony, and the solid elastic has the poorest performance. Multiple layers of very thin flat bands are the best. The thinner the better. Just they don't last as long.
Holy shit it's been ~8 years since this video. I remember as a little kid inspired to make crazy things because of this video and now you're piercing police armour
@MrCampkill I, for one, am quite sure that in fact they WON'T help. I tested this in a later video, slingshot vs. safety glasses. But they look way cool, don't you think?
This is an entertainment channel. Seems like many people enjoyed it. Mission accomplished. Was it dangerous? Sure. All stunts are. But I knew what I was doing, and of course I shot at an angle.
I sold the house with the broken window... one way of solving the problem. It was not so bad, it was douple paned glass and only the outer pane was damaged. A bit of hot glue sealed it.
You are changing my mind about the power of slingshots. I forgot how much fun mine was, which I had as a boy. Excellent work on all your models, and the videos, too. Can you show in your next video the pulling tool you are using in this video? Archery pull, perhaps?
I tried to break a fibreglass car, a Robin Reliant, with a sledgehammer. I took a massive swing at the roof and the hammer just bounced off so violently I lost my trip on it and it went flying, fortunately no-one was near me. The moral of the story....don't mess with fibreglass.

Nein, beim schwarzen Gummi sind 10mm Kugeln viel zu leicht. Durch die begrenzte Geschwindigkeit des Gummis ergibt sich keine wesentlich größere V1, und da viel Energie übrig bleibt, schlägt einem das Gummi von hinten auf die Finger. Die "V" ist auf Kompaktheit, nicht auf Handlichkeit ausgelegt, Sie braucht nicht mehr Platz als eine normale Zwille. Trotzdem kann man sie ganz gut halten, funktioniert besser als man glaubt.
@panchothepanda15 i can, too, now that my skills have improved and my slingshot design has seen many enhancements. Mind you his was one of my early videos.
Wie kommst du drauf? Bei richtig gemachter Zwille wirst du nie ein Zuggewicht ziehen können der die kaputt macht. Dabei ist Holz leichter und liegt angenehmer in der Hand als Stahl.
Every band tears sooner or later. It is only a question of time. If you inspect your bands often enough, you can avoid snaps as you can see the start of a tear. But of course I had hundreds of band snaps. In 99% of the cases, they snap on the pouch side and there is little danger. But I always wear safety glasses, my eyesight is too precious to be risked.
Hello I love slingshots and I was wondering where you get those metal things that you put the Thera tube in and how long the Thera tube needs to be I really would enjoy your response because I really want to get into and learn more and like just how to make the ones in the video
Well, I'd have to convert 50 lbs of fat into lean muscle. Since I enjoy my manly potency, I don't wanna use steroids, so that goal seems to be out of reach!
Herr Sprave please can you advise difference/benefit of using the flat style rubber that you often use. I was always brought up with the tubed style rubber (of the Barnett style).The 1st time I saw your channel (and have visited many times) I saw these flat style bands and fail to see how it could be more powerful than the traditional circular type (as on Barnett)especially as circular bands are hollow so I 'd always imagined the circular bands but solid rather than hollow would b VERY powerful.
How do you build these slingshots? They look great, is there any chance you could make a time lapse of the construction process of your next slingshot? Thanks -Ryan
@JoergSprave if you won't sell your slingshots, can you recommend commercial ones that are good? I feel like I can trust your opinion :). Specifically, I'm looking for something hunter worthy, but without an extreme draw weight as I am not quite as large as you.
How could you NOT have seen this coming? You wore glasses because you knew there was a good chance that the bullet was going to ricochet back into your face. Who would do this right in front of a wall of windows? Expensive lesson.
Are you sure about the energy produced being only 40 joules? That is only equivalent to about 40 watts or well under a single watt hour. Do you know how fast these 030kg balls move in M/S?
Zwillen sind in D nicht als Waffen eingestuft. Man darf sie frei erwerben (ohne Altersbegrenzung) und in der Öffentlichkeit mit sich tragen. Nur Präzisionsschleudern, die eine Armstütze haben, oder die Armstützen selbst sind verbotene Gegenstände.
that was a surprising result. id thought there would have been some 'shattering' effect upon the helmet. it would have been ideal to have shown us the helmet afterwards in close up, but the slow mo really reveals what it would have looked like anyway. the black tubing defintely is a more powerful option, but the real challenge is in whether you can produce the same joules with lesser draw strength. leveraging key points throughout the sling may yeild more power for less effort. great so far.
@JoergSprave By the way love your videos. But I have to ask, Have you ever had a band or tube snap while drawing back? They seem to be stretched to their limits!
Hey i was looking to get thera bands for my slingshots that i make. If you use thara bands can you tell me what the color is and the poudage for all the bands Please get back ASAP Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess Mrs Sprave was not as impressed with your shooting and testing as the rest of us are ;-) Keep up the good work, very much enjoy your videos and humour.
I expected a ricochet, therefore I shot at an angle. I didn't expect the ricochet to be that fast, though. And if you want to be "my friend", then please don't use foul language on my comment pages.
bum bum poopy poopy
@@theun-knownmusician5468 damn, crud
Joerg how can I bay your V slingshot and where...
Thanks i can use it at protests.
He’s not selling them, they’re out of production.....
I'd need a helmet if I had to explain a broken window like that to my wife.
@ËggMiŁK yes
@Alfie Green lol 8 year old
Looking at that window damage, I can't help but wonder if those glasses would have provided any eye protection from that ricochet.
Dang. If that bullet had bounced back to him, he would have been seriously hurt or even killed.
wie konnte dir dieser lappsus passieren?
They would have. They were black.
Where is he getting those different color strength tubings? I wanted tubes instead of flatband but trumark doesn’t make replacement sets anymore and all the different colored Chinese ones are just the same as the weak yellow. I only managed to find decent red bands from other brand.
No it would go straight through them plastic things are qork googles bot projectile proof or resistant really
is this why you film away from your house now joerg?
Of course! That was thousands of years before Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber.
David slings are very powerful, but also extremely hard to master. Lots of practice. No problemfor a sheppard, but who else has the time?
and after all these years watching your old videos makes me acknowledge how good you've become older. but you could wear a helmet more often.
@thesashworth Flat rubber bands are faster and therefore more powerful than tubes. Plus, flatbands can be tapered for even more performance. The thinner the rubber, the larger the surface, the easier the bands can pick up heat from the environment. Rubber stores the energy thermally, so picking up heat is the key to performance.

lol I love The accent
Woher hast du die Zwillen gummis bekommen ?
Thank god, it didn't bounce back in to your face.
1:43 The ALMOST birth of the famous laugh :D
the conclusion is:you broke your fucking window x)
@emwaver Ad revenue doesn't even pay for the materials I use up every month, but I sold that house with broken window and all. Still got a good price for it.
Not anymore. I had 50 pcs made and sold them (non-profit) to fellow slingshot friends, but those are long sold out.
@OBrien19 I had 50 pcs made for friends, sold them at cost. They were gone in no time and are now pretty hard to find.
No, that never happened to me. If you watch my slow motion studies (here on youtube), you will see how smooth things work.
A hit on the hand would be truly devastating. The slingshot has enough power to break your bones.

Holy shit it's been ~8 years since this video. I remember as a little kid inspired to make crazy things because of this video and now you're piercing police armour
So you’re one of those people, the media dramatized that whole video, he was doing it to show that no “stab-proof” armor is entirely safe.
@@jeriahp.2510 what are you talking about
Nein, nur die erste Scheibe der Doppelverglasung ist betroffen.
@Pisscutterer I always shoot at an angle when I use steel ammo, so ricochets won't hit me. No such problem with lead balls.
Why? I don't want to sell them.
@MrCampkill I, for one, am quite sure that in fact they WON'T help. I tested this in a later video, slingshot vs. safety glasses. But they look way cool, don't you think?
Lol at the great wording of: "making the production involuntarily expensive"
This is an entertainment channel. Seems like many people enjoyed it. Mission accomplished. Was it dangerous? Sure. All stunts are. But I knew what I was doing, and of course I shot at an angle.
I sold the house with the broken window... one way of solving the problem. It was not so bad, it was douple paned glass and only the outer pane was damaged. A bit of hot glue sealed it.
10 years later this is still cool as hell
Sorry, the "V"s I had produced are long gone, collector's items by now. And I do not plan to make more, as I have moved on to better designs.
@abofs No steroids for me for sure, I am not THAT stupid. I shake because I am nervous on a video shot, and also because the bands are very strong.
I use the stuff made by the Hygienic corporation. I buy it on ebay, but I guess you can buy it from orthopedic retail stores, too.
Jörg
@LeTrel True... don't you think this is a pretty accurate description? :)
@endorphinfreak123 But why? I made them for myself and would like to keep them.
You are changing my mind about the power of slingshots. I forgot how much fun mine was, which I had as a boy. Excellent work on all your models, and the videos, too. Can you show in your next video the pulling tool you are using in this video? Archery pull, perhaps?
@Wesley296 Absolutely.
Or colorful Euro banknotes, like the lilac type that has lots of "500"s printed on it.
That is a misunderstanding, I do not sell. This is just my hobby.

Ich plane die Durchführung von umfangreichen Tests aller kommerziell erhältlichen Schleudern, das erste Video kommt am Wochenende. Stay tuned!
@panchothepanda15 i can, too, now that my skills have improved and my slingshot design has seen many enhancements. Mind you his was one of my early videos.
I don't think many people take into account just how large this man's forearms are. No wonder he can hold back 40 JOULES with his hands
"Always wear a helmet"
You mean, like when shooting slingshots at helmets?
wow guy, should be more careful, i dont think your safety glass would work as strong as that tempered window,yikes.
I laughed out loud when I read the description of yourself, "Very strong bald German guy" hilarious. Great videos man informative and entertaining.
wow... that ricochet was dangerous!! great videos..
You think I am young enough for my mom to give me crap?
Thanks very much! Drop by should you be in the area, I will buy you a drink.
@endorphinfreak123 Why? I have nothing to sell.
@TheFransosen123 Sold the house and moved to a new one, the buyer did not notice the crack...

I love how he was all happy at first. Breaks his window. Insta-pissed. xD
schade :-) kannst du Schleudern, die im Handel erhältlich sind empfehlen?

Wow.. 12 years have gone by since the channel begun!
no beard, no huHAHAHHA, no "LET ME SHOW YOU IT'S FEATURES" all in all 9/10
You do a great job with the videos and slingshots. Awesome stuff!
I was thinking about, if I had to shoot with that slingshot, I would be using the helmet... and some gloves!
Thanks for share
thank god you are not hit by the iron ball. thank for the cool video!
No! Thank the laws of physics.
LOL... yeah right!
"So, whatever you do that is dangerous... WEAR A HELMET!"
Sage advice from Master JoergSprave
Hello I love slingshots and I was wondering where you get those metal things that you put the Thera tube in and how long the Thera tube needs to be I really would enjoy your response because I really want to get into and learn more and like just how to make the ones in the video
I enjoy these older vids the best.....back when it was simply about cool, powerful slingshots...throwing steel and lead...
@JoergSprave do you think I could use a bike inner tube for one of my slingshots? Great videos! Keep up the great work!
That's a nice model. Better than any I have seen available retail.
@1makermovie Making more is boring, I enjoy making new designs instead. This is just a hobby.
Well, I'd have to convert 50 lbs of fat into lean muscle. Since I enjoy my manly potency, I don't wanna use steroids, so that goal seems to be out of reach!
one of the best channels on youtube....very nice videos
Herr Sprave please can you advise difference/benefit of using the flat style rubber that you often use. I was always brought up with the tubed style rubber (of the Barnett style).The 1st time I saw your channel (and have visited many times) I saw these flat style bands and fail to see how it could be more powerful than the traditional circular type (as on Barnett)especially as circular bands are hollow so I 'd always imagined the circular bands but solid rather than hollow would b VERY powerful.
@JZFProductions You know, youtube brought us the PROFILE information feature.
How do you build these slingshots?
They look great,
is there any chance you could make a time lapse of the construction process of your next slingshot?
Thanks
-Ryan
is the black thera bands really powerfull for a slingshot?
Stumbled across this video this while searching for reviews on German motorcycle helmets.... but you sir are a badass.
hi, please, can you tell me how many meters its slingshot efective?? I want make damage in the police legs. How many meters how much i need to do it??
@JoergSprave if you won't sell your slingshots, can you recommend commercial ones that are good? I feel like I can trust your opinion :). Specifically, I'm looking for something hunter worthy, but without an extreme draw weight as I am not quite as large as you.
How much force does this slingshot have (how much kgs ...)
That must have been between 55 and 60 meters per second.
This guys personality is so gentle
What do you have against motorcycle riders?
How could you NOT have seen this coming? You wore glasses because you knew there was a good chance that the bullet was going to ricochet back into your face. Who would do this right in front of a wall of windows? Expensive lesson.
Would you feel this through a weak kevlar vest?
has a ball every hit you in the hand while it was being shot?
Your creations are fascinating to say the least - what got you interested in slingshots and for how long ?
Gibt es diese Ausführung der Steinschleuder noch bei dir zu kaufen? Eventuell eine ähnliche Version?
Are you sure about the energy produced being only 40 joules? That is only equivalent to about 40 watts or well under a single watt hour. Do you know how fast these 030kg balls move in M/S?
How can I make this? I couldn't find any tut vids on his channel. :|

Ich hab noch ne Frage
woher bekommt man eigentlich die Gummis
denn die Fahrradschläuche die ich benutz sind nicht so stark
wo hast du das schwarze gummi her??
So how much will sell one for?
that was a surprising result. id thought there would have been some 'shattering' effect upon the helmet. it would have been ideal to have shown us the helmet afterwards in close up, but the slow mo really reveals what it would have looked like anyway. the black tubing defintely is a more powerful option, but the real challenge is in whether you can produce the same joules with lesser draw strength. leveraging key points throughout the sling may yeild more power for less effort. great so far.
sehr geil hasst du das teil selber gebaut oder gibs das irgendwo zu kaufen
What type of sling shot is it
@JoergSprave By the way love your videos. But I have to ask, Have you ever had a band or tube snap while drawing back? They seem to be stretched to their limits!
@JoergSprave Great comeback and great video. What ever became of your window? was it fixed I hope?
do you have a vid showing how you make a trigger?
Hey i was looking to get thera bands for my slingshots that i make. If you use thara bands can you tell me what the color is and the poudage for all the bands Please get back ASAP Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Die allermeisten ja. Aber ich teste hin und wieder auch mal kommerzielle Schleudern, meist mit traurigen Ergebnissen.
pls answer joergSprave,,wich rubber isbetter to use black tube or theraband gold 2layers?
@JoergeSprave Which slingshot is your most powerful, would you say? In terms of range, accuracy, and effectiveness at various ranges?
I guess Mrs Sprave was not as impressed with your shooting and testing as the rest of us are ;-)
Keep up the good work, very much enjoy your videos and humour.
What do you do for a living? Do you have access to manufacturing facilities where you can get stuff built for you?
Best guy on UA-cam! Hope your channel will be more and more successful!
Salve dove posso acquistare questa fionda
