Well done! If you keep practicing, you will soon exceed 100 Joule. More importantly, you will be able to hit from longer distances even when using powerful bands. Anyway, thanks for the mega shoutout! I enjoyed our email exchange and I hope that you will be a slingshot fan forever (that stuff is addictive).

A video with you two guys would be awesome!!!!!

Slingshots have been used for centuries for a reason.
I once heard of this guy who could tell you which small rock he'd hit, far away, and he did. His accuracy was phenomenal.
He also could hit extremely well with a sling, using stones as ammo. He often hunted birds using that, hitting them in the head. This was back in the 80s in a country where such things were legal, but that may have changed since.
Slingshots have been used for _millenia._ It's earliest variant, the sling, is known to be used as far back as 10 000 BC. The Catapult is another variant of the slingshot, designed for larger projectiles, obviously.
@@amodernalchemist432 You're probably not serious, but I must say. The sling has little to do with a slingshot, it's not a variant, it's operating principle is totally different. Slingshots are toys of modern times, at least allegedly.
And when you say or hear catapult, you probably think of a mangonel, but in history "a catapult" mostly referred to trebuchets. Mangonels are impractical. They don't scale up, and you don't use siege engines on the field against foot soldiers anyway.
The David vs Goliath account suddenly seems very realistic.

I think that David's slingshot wasn't rubber based, it probably was that round n round overhead with ropes instead of the rubbers. Those things have serious potential, I compared it with AK-47s when I was younger, and it gave it serious competition, it easily achieved 240 yards with lethal sizes, but obviously we were doing it just for fun as an afternoon activity, if one were to take it this seriously, I think we would have some serious slingpower.
@TabeshKhan I am aware he didn't use this kind of sling shot, but I said it for comedic purposes because both used sling shots
hence the joke "We are slayin Goliath with this one"
@@shomu_og2841 I liked your joke before commenting 🤣, my contribution wasn't intended as a counter to yours, just something I wanted to share. I appreciate your humor 😊
It's genuinely surprising how dangerous a tool like a slingshot can become when built to this extent.
is it though?
Blowguns are even more deceptively lethal as while much less brute force then this slingshot so can they beat it in penetration.
I would be impressed to see any performance of a blowgun that would be able to kill a medium sized mammal without the aid of poison.
Also the amount of training needed to perform even somewhat effective with a blowgun is far behind what you need to operate a slingshot.
@@Diogenes2077 Having used both, blowguns require much less training - they are very easy to aim with minimal practice, but are less powerful as you say.
@@Krullfath ikr, slings are one of the most ancient weapons of mankind. Yeah a slingshot works a bit differently, but one should expect that similar lethality can be achieved given the projectiles are similar and the main limitation is human muscle power.
Fork hits, man. When I was teaching myself slingshots a few years ago those were the absolute bane of my existence. My every sympathy, amazing video and I love that Joerg's involved!
Sin duda este canal es uno de los mejores de youtube, me transmite tanta paz y felicidad ver como fabricas cosas, estando tu solo, sin molestar a nadie, cero problemas y eso es hermoso, pura felicidad hermano, amo tu canal, ojala llegues muuuuuuy lejos.

Something I know from archery that probably works on this is pointing the slingshot to the sky, pulling the band back and then releasing it when you drop down towards the target. It allows you to use your back muscles to pull back the band easier. (DISCLAIMER: Don't do this if the area you're aiming at has people or someone's property on it.)
Interesting! Wursthunter (the guy I showed in the intro) uses that technique. I should try it
@@MikeShake you don't need to point up to the sky, its actually discouraged in archery due to the safety issues. You can start with both your hands just above your head, then bring them down to shoulder level. When you do it this way, naturally you'll be using your shoulder muscles.
Alternatively, if you want to maintain your current method, the only thing you really need to change is thinking of the pulling action as a rotation instead of a pull. When you pull, you naturally use your triceps. Instead focus on the position of your elbow, and rotate it to be in alignment with your shoulders. Your body will then engage the back muscles instead.
@@MikeShake I think the traditional Japanese archers use the technique @darylphuah is referring to
@@MikeShake Another archery related thing is to make sure you are using your back muscles and not just your arm muscles to pull the bands back. You can try some exercises where you lock your arm in a fixed position and just pull the band/push the grip by pulling back your shoulders.
pretty sure the general consensus is you shouldnt add unneccesary strain to your back. your back is kinda important. kinda stupid to pull your back for an imaginary target. especially on anything above 50 pound draw.
"Today is tomorrow. And the sun shines." is lowkey so motivational haha
Just a riot!
Your humor, fabrication, research and testing kept my eyes fixed on your video. What type of Man does not find this exploration just thrilling?
Thank you so much for the high-quality content of this video in particular!
Hey Mike! Sanding takes forever yes, but it takes even longer when you start at 220 grit! Start with something like 80 or 120grit, the lower the grit, the easier it will be to remove the tool/machine marks, I use 80/120 then 240, 400, 600 etc. start with a lower grit to save time👌

Sprinkle table salt onto your layers to stop them from moving on you during glue ups. Woodworkers do this all the time.
¡Gran trabajo Mike! Me impresiona todo lo que haces 😊
Pro tip for when you're new to organic grinding. Draw on your part, the sections you want to remove. And start small. First cut, 5 mm line on the two faces where you have to remove material. Exactly like topography lines. And then you follow those two lines to take out the corner. Once you're done with that around the track, you draw the next ones, and repeat until you have the shape you want. It's... grind by numbers (like paint by numbers).
hey just a small tip about penetration. In the common ballistics industry, getting past armor or tough materials isn't about size or weight of the round and bigger does not always mean better. Armor piercing rounds are simply faster than the normal variation of that ammo caliber. If you do want something that can crack bone or penetrate as deep as possible, try using the smaller ammo with the larger bands or adding more bands. Larger ammo will only make the cavity caused by impact to be larger.
you have a "small tip about penetration"?
Yeah, and use lube.
Wouldn't be led balls with same weight but smaller diameter as large steel be better penetrators?
@@augustlandmesser1520smaller and heavier(but balance enough weight that it can be thrown fast rounds might make a better penetrator
Not exactly how penetration works with firearms. Speed, with nothing more, does not equate to armor penetration. You want three things. A pointed projectile,. This is to insure that, on contact with armor, the force is focused on the smallest possible surface area. A fast round. This, as I'm sure you are aware, is to ensure the round passes through with enough force. Lastly, you want the round to have a hardened core. Usually, but not always, this is a hardened steel core. In more exotic rounds this could be tungsten or even depleted uranium.
could this shatter a riot shield i wonder

This is what confidence looks like... Transparency. Show everything good and bad. Mistakes and triumphs.
Very well done. I really enjoyed this!
I like the way the slingshot looks because it looks like if someone just extended it and made it look better without all the random complex things
It is so satisfying to watch someone pour their heart into something and make a quality finished product, because they themselves wanted it and not just for a video.... Thanks so much for the quality content
You've come a long way, these 4 years have been epic. Keep up the great work mike!
Pretty cool. You might want to put an anti-crush sleeve in where your bolts go through the steel tube. This would help prevent crimping and potential folding under load.
hey! i love the new style of editing. it is more slow paced i think and i love that! ❤
Ussope will be proud 💀

Usope? Isnt it ussop
Isn’t it Usopp?

I noticed the scars on your hand at 7:00 this shows how much dedication you've put into shooting a slingshot and I appreciate that. in my own personal experience I've hit my hand numerous times before you get the hang of it. Keep up the good work 😁👍
also he's using all that protective gear (is that a bulletproof vest?) and no gloves! This looked scary to me, pulling that sling with bare fingers, had it suddenly detached from fork (or if fork suddenly broke) while stretched, it could make quite a mess. I understand the instinct to protect eyes, head and internal organs first, but hands are actually quite useful too, and I think by far more likely to get accidentally damaged.
even with 3 million subs, Mike still reads the comments. In my Top 5 favourite youtubers.
Mike you really outdid yourself on that design👍

I'm here for the slingshot part, and the fun part. Keep this up, this is becoming gold. It's "just" enough fun to it to not make the video cheesy.

You should send it to Jorg and let him test it out. That man is a beast and if you want to know just how good it is and what it can do, I can not think of anyone better than him.

8:52 he looked directly into my soul
This dude's videos are phenomenal. First he learns insane skills and also he makes these cool weapons that are so intriguing. Also the effort put into these videos is so visible. And most of his viedos are also extremely funny.
You seem incredibly good at learning skills. And you like makeshift weapons. So try making a blow gus operated with foot bellows and darts from the hardened steel spokes of bicycle tires.
Its powerful the darts pentrate metal refrigerator doors.
That double eye shot was peak comedy.
Btw if you counter sink those screws on the handle and fork it'll look absolutely sick. You can even plug it when wood again if you wanted to hide them.
quickly becoming one of my favourite making/engineering youtubers
The breaking bad reference at 2:15 got me😂😂
I actually watched an in video ad? Dude this guy made some thing we need and advertised something we want. Awesome channel i just subbed
Milk-e-shake, you are a great man, dont let the U.S military find you.
Wow! If you compare this with a few years ago when you made a wooden sword, this is some good craftmanship! The slingshot looks so good. You’ve really improved on this. Very cool
That can really hit bro keep up the good work 👏
It is pretty and powerful, and I think I would be afraid to use it. I'm not exactly sure how to do it, but my engineer friend designs for slow failure if something breaks. In other words, instead of a part suddenly snapping free and hitting you, you want it to slowly bend using up stored energy on bending and heating rather than hitting and damaging you. I don't know exactly how to do it, but maybe soft steel plate on your side of the composite fork, along the shaft into the hand grip and back toward your face. Its job isn't to support the load during normal operation but to hold everything kind of together while it bends slowly like taffy.
But, you probably want to cover the steel in something that will absorb most of the energy of a stray ball so it doesn't bounce back into your face,. It might also help to facet your side of the fork almost like a stealth airplane so most places where the ball could hit will make it bounce off at an angle or deflect away from you.
Again, I just know enough to be dangerous so think for yourself. Overall I like your slingshot. Next step up, I guess is more of a crossbow type thing?
