I think it should be compulsory all children playing with these should wear eye protection and all pets banned from the room, getting hit in the eye with a plastic or metal bottle cap could cause serious damage.
I think Matthias has done something that he think he must punish himself for. The only thing he could do to add some more punishment into it is to add a phaser sound effect. :-)
If you position the anchors for the rubber bands asymmetrically, this will give the projectile spin, which will increase the thrown-cap's stability and length of flight.
great job. I am sure you had lots of fun with this one. It brings out the inner child in us, these type of projects. btw- you are brilliant. Loved your Bandsaw design.
About four years ago I started saving milk bottle caps. The idea was to melt them into blocks of HDPE as seen on UA-cam. My wife told me I was nuts, and would never get around to it. Well... she was right, but now I have a great supply of ammunition, so she had better keep her head down! :o) Thanks, as always.
@@Stevenpwalsh he had a video several years ago where there was some outdoor project (maybe a shed raising) where he had friends over and they imbibed in adult beverages afterwards. That being said, he doesn't seem the "hold my beer" type (it always seems like it goes before something rather reckless and not well thought out which is the antithesis of Matthias)...though I do love the "(and get my slippers)" part. That fits very well!
Those are just great. Had a rubber band six shooter when I was a kid and had a blast just shooting the bands, this is soo much better! Thanks for the video.
Quick tip. Glue and then put a dab of salt on the glue before clamping. This keeps the parts from sliding as the salt digs into the wood. Also, it will confuse your significant other to see a salt shaker in the wood shop. Lol
Good stuff Matthias nothing beats home made toys. I remember playing with a freighter my pop made for me out of a four foot 4"x6" beam as well wooden trucks and a bull dozer. Thumbs up.
Your child playing with a wooden catapult next to the wooden table sat on your wooden floor. When you only have a hammer in your toolbox, everything looks like a nail! This comment said with love from a long time admirer.
Çok güzel bir tasarım ve uygulama olmuş, Yapım PLANI için teşekkür ederim, Aboneniz oldum, iyi akşamlar It has been a very nice design and application, thank you for the PLAN of construction, I am your subscriber, good evening
I predict that 2020 will be the year of the dented walls at the Wandel residence... looks like great fun though :-)
Hide the wine glasses! :o)

I came looking for the Safety Sally messages. One thread in and there she is.

@@Josef_R Glad you weren't dissapointed but I don't think they can do eye transplants yet and a pair of safety glasses is only 3 or 4 bucks
Could you make it a little stronger to shoot hockey pucks? You know, for tougher children.
or maybe hubcaps....for the inner city kids...😂
I’m sorry to inform you, but Spartans have been extinct for quite awhile now
or manhole covers for military
That's more Joerg's (the slingshot channel) territory...
Or WiFi Access points, for wealthy computer scientists.
If you position the anchors for the rubber bands asymmetrically, this will give the projectile spin, which will increase the thrown-cap's stability and length of flight.
That sounds very plausible. I didnt think of it. Needs some tests though. For the next video lol
i think if you just put some silcone rubber on one side of the track, it would also cause spin
@@peetre That might work just as well.
I believe it would most likely work like a curve ball... For stabilization you would need the spin to be around the direction of movement.
or... glue a 600 sandpaper on one side, and soap or silicone lubricant on the other
I love watching you make tools and whatnot, but there's something special about watching you build toys :)
1:09 "I haven't actually given this any thought"
*Has complete solution ready to implement*
I love the “handheld cap launching mechanism”😆
Certain words trigger the weak minded, these days.

I think claiming that UA-cam’s filtering algorithm has a mind is overly generous.

Mattias son: Dad i want a gun
Mattias: hold my beer (and get my slippers)
I might be a bit presumptuous here, but Mattias strikes me as a root beer kind of guy.
@@Stevenpwalsh he had a video several years ago where there was some outdoor project (maybe a shed raising) where he had friends over and they imbibed in adult beverages afterwards.

...And then youtube demonitizes the video... XD
Matthias would only ever say "hold my beer" once, while he built a device to hold his beer for him while he worked.
Matthias, was great to see your kids playing with them. Nice build!
Finally, a use for those darned caps! Looks like a lot of fun!
You never cease to amaze! Awesome work as always!
Classic Matthias, plans and all. Good to have you back
Those are just great. Had a rubber band six shooter when I was a kid and had a blast just shooting the bands, this is soo much better!
Thanks for the video.
For the man who has everything: a plastic cap shooter
This reminds me of the Slingshot-Channel.
And both of them are German...
@@DoNotPushHere Matthias is Canadian
"let me show u its features hahaha"
@@reboot9509 originally German, then moved to Canada, so I'm guessing dual citizenship.
No way! :D

I enjoy all your videos very much but I especially enjoyed this one. Thanks for the exceptional content!
This channel makes me happy.
glad you're still making vids once in a while
Good stuff Matthias nothing beats home made toys. I remember playing with a freighter my pop made for me out of a four foot 4"x6" beam as well wooden trucks and a bull dozer. Thumbs up.
Very elegantly designed!
This is to cool Matthias, when I was a kid in the 60s we made a primitive version of this and used bottle caps to sling.
Clever, simple, & inexpensive. Well done!
Thanks for sharing.
i seen all your video and start my work as hobby 2 years ago ,,,,,,,you are the best,,,,,,,you are Genius.
Great project, and I imagine the kids will love them!
i love your channel for the pure skill and ingenuity even though I know I'll never make anything you do because it's wayyyy beyond my skill level
Just in time for the holidays!! Thanks Matthias!!
Excellent video and process
Thank you for sharing
I wish you much success with your cool bottle top shooter.
Mathias, you are a genius!
I love your job, and your videos too.
That is a really cool toy. I would have loved something like that when I was young.
Wonderful video Matthias
Wow you have the patience of a saint with multiple pieces of those tiny triggers! Newbie sub here
Supper cool man!!! I love them!
First time checking out your channel dude and I already like it you rock man 😎
reminds me of a board game, Crossbows and Catapults. Had little disc launcher that operate very similar. Brings back good memories.
Now I am in the proper mood for Christmas.
Nice work on the cap shooter
Looks like a lot of fun, so tempting to make one lol
A perfect job again, like as always 👏👏
These are brilliant!!!
Great video as always.
Good to see Matthias back in the zone
"Let me show you it´s features!"
A fellow man of culture I see
Reminds me of "No Ralphie you'll put your eye out".
You beat me to it!
"I want an official Matthias Wandel rubber band action plastic cap shooting pist*l!"
Creativity and art, Professor
Awesome toy! I would like to have one when I was a kid
Insanely awesome. How fun is this! Now you could design a top loaded "clip/magazine".....
Very nice, you are very clever.
super cool. i wonder if a future version could put a spin on the caps to make them fly stable...
That is a really cool toy for kids of all ages.
All of the neighborhood kids are going to be so jealous when they see those.
Great job, your kids are going to have a blast
That's a cool project! I think I'll try to make one that fits 1 gallon milk jug caps since that's what we have most.
Great job!
Happy new year and here is a plastic bottle cap right in the munch-kin...
You have a lucky family!
amazing! you're a genius!
Best dad ever! I wish you were my daddy 😢
What a fun build.
And the "Coolest Dad Ever" Award goes to ..........
Awesome... im looking forward to trying to make a few too.
"Launcher" might have been the least bad choice for not angering the robot overlords. Very cool as always.
Taofledermaus calls his a "mass accelerator."
its zionist not robot
simple. interactive. made of wood. great.
He's Back!
Awesome parenting on display... Allways be the biggest kid 🤘will build that with my kids too. very, cool idea.
Brilliant, welcome back.... :-)
Those look like they are JUST about the perfect size to fire "two bite brownies". See, they're not weapons, they're feeding devices!
Nice, it looks like something that some kids could build as a project with their parents.
Ill be buying those plans.
As always ingenious work by Matthias - I'm thinking though - you might also have to include some home-made eye protection with the gifts :-)
Awesome, I wish I was on Matthias' Christmas list ;)

Good episode my son, good skills, thank you
daddy Wandel is clearly a fun dad. That or, i have a seriously warped sense of fun!
Awesome
Thank you! I’m going to make one for me. 😊
looks lots of fun for the kiddos
can you make one with a magazine?
Not if the atf has anything to say about it
And when the kids are bit older Matthias will build the catapults. Awesome video!
Very cool ideal
From wooden clockwork to wooden gunsmithing, Matthias is so awesome. But can he make one of these in semi-auto? Haha.
What a cool project! Now they just need a coat of signature green.
Ahh it just makes me smile.
Next week:
"How to make armor for yourself because your kids are shooting at you
Çok güzel bir tasarım ve uygulama olmuş, Yapım PLANI için teşekkür ederim, Aboneniz oldum, iyi akşamlar
It has been a very nice design and application, thank you for the PLAN of construction, I am your subscriber, good evening
I like all your video..btw cool toy u just made..u are awesome
The war against the SlingshotChannel has begun!
Yeah but Tom Stanton still has a trebuchet.
Wait...did you have a motion tracker set on the launcher at 0:04? That's brilliant :)
Yes, it was programmed to shoot at the helmet. Made a video about that a while back
Legos and fireworks tought me everything I know
Didn't expect you here.
I am going to make one too thanks
Klasse Idee 👍
You need to do a collaboration with JoergSprave one day. It'll be glorious.
Unbelievable!
Super shutter!
Awesome!
Very nice❤️
muito legal gostei
You should make some kind of target for the kids shoot it and does something by the reaction ?
A human specimen yes yes
You also got 2 little Engineers in the making :)
