Slingshot vs Helmet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2009
- Very strong bald German guy shoots with a deadly slingshot (heavy rubber tubes) at a motorcycle helmet. Incredibly big steel bullets are used. The video includes a slow motion of the dramatic effect. A ricochetting bullet still has enough power to smash a window, making the production involuntarily expensive...
I'd need a helmet if I had to explain a broken window like that to my wife.
Looking at that window damage, I can't help but wonder if those glasses would have provided any eye protection from that ricochet.
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.

the conclusion is:you broke your fucking window x)
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?
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.
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.
Thank god, it didn't bounce back in to your face.
@1makermovie Making more is boring, I enjoy making new designs instead. This is just a hobby.
Ich plane die Durchführung von umfangreichen Tests aller kommerziell erhältlichen Schleudern, das erste Video kommt am Wochenende. Stay tuned!
@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 at the great wording of: "making the production involuntarily expensive"
@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.

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
10 years later this is still cool as hell
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.
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.
