----------------------------------------------------
In a survival situation, a compact, lightweight and powerful weapon is a much needed item. Slingshot crossbows are ideally suitable for the task, but they have one major disadvantage: They are bulky.
This new design addresses the issue: It folds down to half the shooting length, and the wooden construction makes it very lightweight (about 600 gramms, 1.3 lb).
The folding mechanism doubles as a cocking aid. Much like a break barrel air rifle, unfolding the weapon cocks the bands, and the weapon is ready for shooting in just one second.
The video also shows the accuracy - bottles can be hit easily from a 10 meter (33 ft) distance.
The video also contains one more drawing of an original "Hänsel and Gretel" backpack, filled with a stainless steel Jörg Sprave slingshot! Drawing takes place on the 3rd of March, 2013. All you have to do is leaving a comment to this video. EDIT: Drawing is complete, Brian Krause is the winner.
A "The Slingshot Channel" production! - Наука та технологія
loading it by unfolding is quite a smart mechanism
+OnLyKnOpPaS I like that too.
I have seen most of the videos, and in my opinion this is THE best one.
just another gorgeous crafting!! guess i can even speak for the orhers, we love them all, Joerg!
Being a survivalist myself I am very impressed with the capabilities of this weapon, its compact, accurate and powerful which is a rare combination in weapons that could be used in a survival situation. I can see this being used with great success in small game hunting or with modifications perhaps arrow fishing. Really cool weapon.
Nice weapon but i'm looking forward to anti-tank slingshots.
Anti tank slingshots are from yesterday. He's working on launching satellites now :-D
Hey I am a 16 year old guy and you have inspired me to make my own slingshots and I would love to compare my slingshots with yours so I can improve my design.
I notice it gets a bit cold where you are. Have you made a rubber powered wood chopping device?
You're the undisputed master of rubber-powered catapults! This folding, rifle-style design in truly ingenious. If only I had access to a shop, I'd soon have one of my own.
Hi! I love your videos, and I would like to attempt to create this slinshot crossbow :) would it be possible for you to send me some dimensions of the Featherlight Folding Survival Slingshot Crossbow please :)
German guys in a nutshell.
Standing out in the cold and snow.
Has a t-shirt on.
I quess you havent seen any Estonian or Finnish guys
Freakie40 jep
Or canadians
What on earth are you talking about Tarnished Silver ?
@@Freakie40 they must be very strong and handsome u///u
This is one of my fav channels on UA-cam - it convinced me to go out and buy myself a slingshot and spend 2 weeks messing around with it! Auf veidershen, Jöerg!
You are a truly demented genius, please keep coming up with these astounding projects. They are wonderfully inspirational.
Depends on the rubber band dimensions and the outside temp.
hey mate just want to say since i found your channel i think i have watch every episode, you have a way of constantly thinking outside the box and comming up with stuff i would have never dreamed of. keep doing what your doing. LEGEND
This guy has one of my favourite youtube channels to visit, the ingenuity he has is fantastic!
That has to be the best design I've ever seen. Its seems to have a huge advantage in that it could be up graded for more power if needed. Keep up the good work.
This channel is fantastic. I love your enthusiasm for these (as some might say) non-traditional weapons.
Your videos give such an insight into mechanical design. Just finished the trigger mechanism to my own crossbow design, and could not possibly have done it without the help of your videos.
THIS is by far, one fo your best crontraptions, simple, yet efficient as hell
Hey Joerg,
I love your work. It's fascinating how much creativity and ingenuity you have. I just wanted to let you know you've inspired me and probably many others to push hard at the things they are passionate about. Anyway, much love and respect from Kentucky.
Love your ingenuity regarding this bow, original design makes it awesome. Can't believe how powerful it is!
Everytime I watch these videos I realise more and more how much power this guy has at his disposal, he has many killing weapons!
so after a coupple of hours if going from video to video i must admit that you are by far the coolest channel i have seen in over a month.
I would love to see you guys come up with some more stealthy (hidden) weapons.
keep up the great work
I was thinking more than one week about what to write as a comment, but unluckily I didn't get any idea what to say - shame over me, being speechless seeing such a wonderful slingshot!
Das Konzept ist brilliant, ich finde das ist bisher die spannendste Wumme die du gebaut hast.
As s student of survival techniques and bush-craft, I have to say that this particular piece of rubber powered artillery is fantastic! In a survival situation it would be more than powerful and accurate enough to bag the small game you would need to subsist on. I can even see an arrow / bolt firing attachment possible. I'd leave that to our expert though.
You really go above and beyond with your designs, like how the housing swings to follow the band, Idk if I would have even thought to consider adding that feature.
You've gotten much better at building these pieces then the last time i saw you! Never cease to amaze me
I absolutely love to watch your videos. You have insired me to try my own creations. Having that slingshot and backpack would really help me to continue with my creations. Thank you!
Joerg you are my number one zombie apocalypse team member, before chuck norris, before any survivalist, before my brother, because you are like a mad slingshot genies.
Joerg, I don't know where you get all your ideas for slingshots but you sure are gifted! This one hits my hot button! I am older and somewhat limited by arthritus but I don't think I would have any trouble cocking and shooting this design so I might give it a go. Keep up the good work ;-)
I love I mean love seeing your creations but please do tutorials pleeeaaase you're the only one out there who does this stuff this good
Best hunting slingshot ever! Now this is both practical and FUN!
It's fantastic that you put blueprints up with the videos, great work
this stuff is awesome. i grew up hunting birds with slingshots and you have taken it to a whole different level. amazing.
Bro your strong and smart to make these weapons I live down under and to see someone who can be this smart and strong is rare
this is my most favorite channel of all of UA-cam. you are a great inventor (my most favorite one) and i wish i could be as smart and great as you
Cant believe the thongs you make truely unbelievable, how they work and how good they look is inspirational man keep the videos coming one of my favorite channels keen to see more slingshots !! :D
U are the worlds best slingshot maker ever even better than simple shot your slingshot are better faster and are more thoughtful because they have a machine that pumped them out u have real work in yours I would trade their best slingshot for your worst any day
I love Joergs stone cold killer expression on his face immediately after shooting any of his weapons. Only to be followed by the most gentle and smiling demeanor known to man!
Joerg! You rock!
I follow several sciency channels on youtube so that I can learn and get my mind blown on a daily basis. I remember you did a wonderful episode with Destin on SmarterEveryDay a while back. Amazingly enough you blow my mind equally as much with the way you keep pumping out slingshots in all forms and shapes and it doesn't look like your creativity is running dry any time soon, haha X D
And don't worry, there's no spider on your screen folks : D
Link est dans le text description. Bonne chance!
I've seen your videos now and again for the last year or so but only recently subscribed. I love your channel it is really informative and your videos are exciting to watch. I want to start making my own slingshots now and thanks to you I have a great guide to get me started!
I never sell - this is just my hobby.
Your passion is something to be reckoned with, Joerg
Laughed hard. This man teach people how to make things from wood. Man, do you know how good manual work is for kids ?
Also me and a few others had a small slingshot war with" capture the flag" rules and three teams last summer. It was so fun I'm thinking of making it an annual thing! The guy who made the slingshots was inspired by your channel and I'm thinking I could start making slingshots myself for this event. I'll keep my eye out for slingshots that I could safely fire at someone else, or atleast modify so that I could ; )
Thanks so much for doing this channel Jörg!
That is a seriously functional survival tool and not just a toy. Well done! I have to try and make one now. Wish me luck!
thank you once again for what is one of the most bizarre channels on youtube. great job
David
you are by far the coolest dude i know that uses slingshots
VERRY INTRESTING AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY...GOOD JOOB AND YOU HAVE A BRILLIANT MIND TO DO ALL THAT THINGS... BRAVO !
Your inventions are down right BADASS !!!!! To create them from an idea is inspiring to watch every week well done great job
The loading mechanism is really great, makes use of its ability to fold.
Joerg, your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. Thanks again.
I think this slingshot has a lot of potential with it's unique concept
My kids and I love to watch your channel. It is always fun to see what you come up with. They were begging me to comment so that we can be entered in the contest. Take care.
I liked how this is compact but at first i thought in compact mode it could of been shot too, regardless even though you can't it's still good, and upon looking at it i can see it being modified to shoot arrows or bolts, depending on the length, really good make
I really like the blueprints and directions you provide.
Hey, ein Gedicht nur für mich! Danke schön.
My god, you never cease yo amaze me with your designs
I keep the squirrels off my house with a nice little commercial slingshot. I live among big fir trees on the west coast of Canada so there are many of the little buggers. I really enjoy your vids. Best wishes from Quadra Island.
This video was an excellent birthday present, and the link to the schematics was just icing on the cake!
Yes I enjoyed them all Joerg, you keep making them and I will keep watching them. I shoot a dioblo with double power bands ( the black ones) thanks.
impressive, I could actually see a mass produced product being inspired by this design. I would certainly get one.
Thanks a bunch Joerg, I always love to watch your videos! I love your designs, especially this one, please keep up the great work!!
The slingshot its-self is very unique as is everything on your channel, I love it so much, especially because you test the slingshots in your backyard!
I made one after I saw this video.. What a fun thing to shoot. Thank you for your channel
What was the final length of the draw ?
Do you have the blueprints?
Oh man that looks so awesome! I also really want that backpack! I love the folding design.
Very nice I wish more people were so creative and educate others on there beautiful creations.
You certainly make unique pieces. Gotta say you never cease to amaze.
Always glad to see your latest slingshots. The Survival Slingshot is genius...
yet another brilliant design there mate, i'd love to have a go at making something like that one day
You made me an instant fan. You seem to really enjoy what you do, thank you for sharing it with us.
Hensel und Gretel endlich im Kino und wiedermal ein tolles Video,
schönen Grüss aus Berlin
Joerg, you are really awesome. Your kids must have so much fun with you as a dad. Cheers mate
Nice slingshot ! If I would go hunting, I'll trust this one for it's incredible accuracy. Very nice.
you have the best HOBBY EVER and and know your slingshots
badass design with the center caulking mechanism or the center loading drawback design
For me it is your best Slingxbow you made...cheers
Just happened across your channel.. Sir you have taken the slingshot to a level I never even thought of. Rock On ! New Sub
same concept as the stink master 2000 brilliant truly brilliant keep them coming
The folding design is ingenious!
You have a very innovative mind. I have watched a few of your videos am I am blown away !!
Just recently found your videos. You're my hero.
It takes a real innovator to create something like that.
Totally Awesome!!! You should add a collapsible stock for shoulder support.
We just discovered your videos.. Love them !! we are addicted
Finding this guy is my top priority during a Zombie apocalypse.
Impresiv how small and powerfull this design is.
Joerg every video of yours that i watch i am stunned by how awesome the creations are
thank you.
this is amazing you keep impressing every body with your inventions every time
The way your mind works absolutely wunderbar!
That's one of the most ingenious designs I have ever seen could you post instructions as to how to make one?
The double-folded gun from Hansel and Gretel was ridiculous, but this is pretty neat!
Using plywood as a base material is a rather ingenious idea. Do you have survival as a premise for the concept? (aside from the just fun aspect of it that is). I assume power tools were used in the manufacturing of it but I don't see any part of this that could not be accomplished with hand tools. As always, Well done sir.
It's real simple but ingenious construction - as always
Wow what an awesome survival crossbow, It looks like it is very effective. I would love to have one for the coming apocolypse, something tells me we are going to need items just like this to survive.
Great video. I would love a mini version of that one.
i love your work at slingshots.
i did one of your slingshots i liked very much, thank you.
Seems much easier to load than the previous one... Awesome!
You make slingshots cool again!
I enjoy your videos
Genius design. Powerful, practical and fun to shot...
