Inner Tubing vs. Office Rubber vs. Thera Band, Plus: Bullpup crossbow enhanced
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2011
- Rubber related questions are MOST common. People often want to know if they can use bike inner tubing or office rubber, as they often can not find Thera Band. Here, a test is conducted. 6kg (12 lbs) draw weight and 85cm (33") of draw length is what everybody can draw with ease, even teenage boys. So three different bands were made that match these criteria, one from inner tubing, one from office rubber, one from Thera Band Gold.
See how they do with 8mm and 15 mm steel balls.
The entire value chart can be found at

As a bonus, the first video footage from the completed bullpup slingshot crossbow is shown. - Наука та технологія
those cute cats playing on the back tho

The look you give after firing the bull pump speaks a thousand words.
*shoots*
*serious face*
*smiles*
LOVE IT
the cat in the background was so funny😃😄😃😄😃😄😃😄😃😄😃😀!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂☺😊😀😁😂😃😅😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how he looks at the camera immediately after shooting the slingshot gun :)
gotta love that "oh yeah" look he gives after he shoots.
Just made my own slingshot with office rubber bands, thank you for inspiring me to do so.
I made a slingshot vary recently and did not know what type of rubber to use this video helped a lot thanks
Very awesome video as always!
dude, your face after those babies go off...
your rubber based weapons are awesome.
Excellent video! I wish I had a huge roll of TBG like that!
@DZgoodTimes Sure, if you use the right ammo and band dimensions plus if you draw out far (full butterfly) you can even achieve 150 m/s with TB Black. But such super fast bands tear early.
0:40 that cat wtf 😄
That last shot was wicked bro.
Haha, after every shot Jeorge looks back at the camera like "Ya, that's what the fuck's up," it's awesome.
Thanks for the info Jorge.
that cato'rifle is epic, you should sell them. id buy one for sure and your smile says it all

Ohhh my god man! *shoot....*badass face*...*friendliest and good guy smile* This dude is awesome!
I use the #107 rubber band made by the alliance rubber company. If you have about 9 inches from tie to tie its pretty fast and comparable to theraband gold. 1/16 thick gum rubber cut this length is also pretty fast. If you hunt it would be fast enough to take small game. Both of these are also very durable. If you active shoot and don't hold at the anchor point you can get 200 shots per band set. Which is a lot better than theraband gold.
You are the best inventor on you tube keep it up friend :)
Love the gun looking sling you made, remind me of the Aug
@arisingartist & @JoergSprave I had really good luck with latex rubber tubing when building my biggest three-man slingshots (~8m, 4 bands). It was so powerful that pouches simply disintegrated and ended up using a piece of a wheel barrow tire that my mother recommended (thanks, Mom!)...
Thera Band is probably made from natural latex, just like my tubing, only in sheet form.
He is funny, creative, awesome, and has great cats. He also has amazing, interesting videos.
awesome crossbow!!!
The smile at 4:40 is reminiscent of Oppenheimer's when he saw what he had created.
Love your videos.
Thank you that's exactly what I was looking for 😃
where do you buy thera band rolls?
Wow !
That was eight years ago, not yet with your signature laughter ?
O.K. Question, On which show did Joerg do his first evil laugh. And when was the first use of his catchphrase "Let me show you its features"?.
yeah, the history of this channel!
I found his first evil laugh in "Slingshot vs. iPhone at 2:47.
It's not the full mature evil laugh we know but I think it was the first time an evil laugh unintentionally slipped out of him. After that video there was no evil laugh for many videos. I'm still searching for the moment where he start to do this regularly and of course I'm also searching for the first use of his catchphrase. It's like JoergSprave-archology ;)
And the first time he used his catchphrase was in the video "Homemade bullpup crossbow" :)
@OssastoriumDoDs I actually have reviewed Tex's bands, they are fantastic.
How do you tie the theraband to the leather sling? Also how do you cut it? How would it tie it to my slingshot that uses tube type bands (metal arms)? Appreciate any help.
when I was a kid we didn't have any theraband or anything back where we used to live and we were poor. we used these really thin white elastics, im not sure what they're called, but I think tailors use them. We would put a whole bunch on each side of the slingshot and that's where we got our propulsion.
can you maybe try those one time ?
thank you

@ivar197 Vulcanized rubber and latex is one and the same. Unvulcanized rubber is not stretchy at all, useless for slingshots. It is true, the bands all tear after many shots, but never "catastrophically". They always tear at the pouch side, then a slap on the hand is all that can happen. And even then, the experienced shooter sees it coming as small nicks will occur first.
literally? haha love ur vids ive been watching for at least 3 hours!
The cat is great! XD
Would you please make a video of theraband - gold (a.o.) - in comparison with natural latex bands! Saw in an other video, natural latex would be faster than theraband gold, but I´m sceptic about it´s duration.
the office bands seemed pretty good. There are also latex catheters, they are very good for slingshots
I miss these videos please make more insane slingshot videos....
forum link broken so here are the results:
6kg draw weight at 85cm draw length.
inner tubing 8mm: 41m/s
inner tubing 15mm: 28m/s
office rubber 8mm: 52m/s
office rubber 15mm: 39m/s
thera band gold 8mm: 85m/s
thera band gold 15mm: 52m/s
can you compare the other colours of thera bands available and specifically how many layers of each is required to match the gold bands of similar draw length
love your vids joerg. cheers :)
Hey Joerg, I can not find the blue prints for the Bullpup crossbow enhanced anywhere. Not on your web site. Can you tell me where it can be found, please. Thanks
aww shit - i wanted to know what the muzzle velocity was of that rifle crossbow he used at the end was ...
@sts989 Find my video "Review: The Dankung Panther", open the text description, click on the link to the free manual. It has a generic chapter that explains how to make and attach bands.
no mater which rubber is used can you recommend a way of extending the life of the rubber ??some sort of oil maybe, something that would prevent fatigue when the cata is stored for instance????
You can tell you get a kick out making these... dig your videos... fun for everyone, from "kids" of all ages, to those interested in primitive projectile weaponry... {:{ )
Dave Generic Depending on the age, kids ought not to look at his t-shirts.
Do you cut your own theraband down to the right width or buy it in special sizes?
EPIC this guy is EPIC...jorg is the best slingshot specialist...he's the best..live on the legend..
Thats a very cool video!
Please can you make video with paintballs?
Nice video Joerg! Have you tried the latex which Tex shooter uses?
What would you recomend a extra stong thera band or a medium
Can you tell me where you get the thera band and how much you spent on that huge roll
Hello I will keep looking through all your posts to see if you say where you get the Thera Band, but If you happen to see this,I would greatly appreciate if you had a link as to where to get them at a good price ...Thank you ......your awesome love your Videos.
Amazon.
LexTNeville Thanks I will try that I was looking on ebay
When comparing rubbers, have you done a video comparing different Theraband products and similar items such as Theraband Silver tubing with surgical tubing and speargun rubber?
Can i use theraband green or someting else for a slingshot the gold is so expensive
you always look like your having a good time
I like the way Joerg is sincerely concerned for your safety. Keep hitting 3:06 repeatedly to know his serious side.
Joerg, I have a question for you. Can you make a video in which you explain how to attach the rubber to the leather properly?
Danke schoen!!!
Joerg sprave would make such a badass villian. So jolly. He could be like, "come here, little man, ah ah ah. Witness the power of elasticity!" Then he pulls out a rubberband gun that shoots grenades or something.
Would it be possible to create an electric loader? Battery operated or something that could be used for speed loading?
Interesting, Do you think adding more office rubber could bring it up to theraband levels?
Could you please let me know how much of the therea band gold you buy and how much it costs? becausei found a 150 foot spool of it for 160$
Si Idanilam, efectivamente pueden servir para la caza de animales pequeños
The cats behind you so cute, they're playing :)
You should be licensing all of these innovations my friend
Where do you get your powerful rubber bands that you showed in 0:10?
Helloo Joerg i wanted to ask what else can i use for a rubberband but not terraband something that i can find in the local area i mean is there another company thats make rubber for slingshots and can be find... ???? :D
If you are from Skopje Macedonia you can order Teraband from Belgrade or Novi Sad or maybe someone can buy it for you. Try this: sr-rs.facebook.com/ProfesionalneLovackePracke I just got one today. Good Luck.
A bit of a complex question, I hope you can understand.
I was wanting to build a "Jezail" type slingshot rifle , long and ridiculous, I'd like it to be able to shoot steel balls and nerf foam balls for messing around with friends. I'm wondering about the effects of stretching a rubber band, say I use medical tubing, over a distance of 1.3 meters or 4 feet.
There's some different colours of Thera bands which ones are better ?
This is amazing just made an order off your website to make a bone crushing slingshot! But I had to ask do u think you could make a video of you hunting with some of these slingshot crossbows?
dalton williams I don't hunt, simply because I do not enjoy it.
JoergSprave Just quick question... The Thera-Band appears in few colors like black, yellow, blue, green. The golden band means the strongest one. Does it make any difference for you? And what color do you use?
Thank you.
The Stoned Videogame Nerd
thx
the camera person should focus more on the cats than the slingshots
at 2:52 the cat is like " oh hell no im outa here"
how fast for the thera-bow? Years ago there was an old man here in Oklahoma who Channel 9 did an interview with. He would ask the reporter to pick a weed and which direction she wanted it to fall. Range was like 25 meters. The weed went that way. It usually took 2 shots but he was using gravel and there was (as always) a strong wind.
I think the office rubber chained in a 2,2,2,3 pattern would give you alot more power. You should try it.
What Thera Tube should i use for my slingshot? eg. red, green,blue,black
Cheers
what do you think about the Theraband tubes?
i have a question, i used to shoot wrist rockets as a kid, now im getting back into them..how many times have you ''striped '' your face with a band breakage?? me twice..very painful.
what kind of places do people find thera band gold? i heard its primary use is muscular training, so i have looked in weight lifting equipment sites. please tell me where i can find some, i am really sick of the tube bands, they always break and produce little power and speed.
Biss-millah .. ! Gut das Du das Video nicht nochmal gedreht hast ohne die Katzen ! Gibt eine liebliche Würzung zu diesem Video ! Gehab Dich wohl !
@arisingartist What would be a good source? I haven't found such inner tubing.
Joerg i think that you used the inner tube like a tube but if you take it and cut like flat thera band i think it will shoot much better
Where did you get the role of theraband and how much was it (per meter/foot)?
How do you make a slingshot using office rubber as the elastic?
that wiggle in the last second! :D
I love that cat
The inside of a football cut into strips works really really well on a slingshot
yeah his ace after he shoots look like he is like an pro assasin, but then he smiles and looks like the nicest person ever xD
Where can you buy the Thera Band Gdd in the states?
You have nice shoes!
I love the Cat Cha- .. Sling shot channel. :D
i just bought a bunch of that gymnastic band stuff :D
where do you get rubber the 1st place one
i used road bike inner tube for my home made slign shot from your video how to make a fantastic wooden slingshot
Nice video & nice pets
Please tell me the best place to buy thera-band
how do you tie Thera bands to the slingshot?
@mrdanisthename Possible, but slow. You need a huge transmission.
where can i get the rubber band u are using
Can I use fitness theraband for slingshot
