OMG It is a pleasant surprise to see Tong-Ah and Pyunjeon review here! You see, Tong-Ah and Pyunjeon had been secret weapons for a few hundred years in my country (Korea). Pyunjeons, the short arrows launched via Tong-Ah have lots of advantages: 1. Pyunjeons are much faster than conventional arrows. In the recent tests performed using traditional bows, Pyungjeons marked 77~90m/s, while the conventional arrows did 60m/sec or less. 2. Pyunjeons fly much longer than conventional ones; they reach 500m or even more with traditional bows. 3. Pyeonjeons are more penetrative than conventional arrows. Whilst the weight of a Pyunjeon is 4/5 of a conventional arrow; its speed is 30% faster than a conventional one. This results in greater dynamic energy and penetration. A traditional record says that a Pyunjeon could kill 2 soldiers within 48m. 4. Since Pyunjeons are shorter (roughly a half) and lighter than conventional arrows, archers could carry more number of shots. 5. Enemies could not reuse Pyunjeons as they did not have Tong-Ahs. 6. As Pyunjeons are faster and smaller, it is very difficult for the enemies to follow their trajectory and react. Hope you enjoy my comments. Thanks!
the idea of a bow magazine that you can just use with any bow with zero installation sounds amazing. great idea! Something I've always thought about Joerg is that he is three professions in one, which is amazing. Usually you'd have and expert in engineering, fabrication, and assembler/mechanic . The engineer designs, the fabricator makes the parts, the assembler/mechanic puts them together and maintains them. Joerg does all three.
And a fourth one: An excellent and professional salesman! Can you think of anyone who hasn't allowed him to show them his inventions' features? Haha! And who wouldn't want to buy his inventions? They're so good they pretty much sell on their own!
I look at it the other way. Craftsmanship has been shattered into engineering, fabrication, and assembly. The modern world is fractured, and it's part of why we're depressed.
Traditional Tong-Ah (*Dutsal* in Korean) has a loop which hooks on your middle finger, therefore stays with your drawing hand. With practice, reloading with Pyunjun (*Aegitsal* in Korean) should be fairly quick.
This looks like a medieval Dai Viet crossbow. the fear of Chinese armor. Dai Viet's crossbow has a bow length of 1m2 and an arrow length of 30~45cm. The Ming people described the Dai Viet crossbow as having enormous damage in 300 steps. There were cases where arrows pierced two fighters equipped with full body armor at the same time
03:19 "瞬速和弓" I'm korean... and Korea & Japan use old Chinese letters too. It means "순속화궁 - 瞬(blink) 速(fast speed) 和(and(compound...)) 弓(bow)"... & 和弓 also usually means Japanese bow. Have a nice day dear all~!
3:18 it says "rapid(fire) Japanese bow" (shunsokuwakyuu). Pyeonjeon was a shorter projectile that flied faster. Once landed on enemy formations they weren't "compatible" with their bows because their archers wouldn't have had the tong-ah and the necessary training to use them, let alone a sofisticated contraption you've used to shoot one.
Hey there! It's great to see Jörg back in action, making videos like in the good old times. 😄 As for the Super Tong-Ah (Crab Bow on Steroids), it's a really interesting concept. The idea of having a versatile reloading device that can work with different bows is quite innovative. It's a nice blend of traditional and modern archery. I'd love to see more developments on this, maybe with a sleeker and more lightweight design. What do you think? Keep up the awesome work, and looking forward to more exciting videos from Jörg's channel! 👍
Love it. Would definitely buy it. One recommendation... A small thin handle to hold it in place before and after you draw the bow. So you could easily move around with it.
Just had a dream where a defended position I was in had "turrets". In the turret there was a two man crew, one bringing preloaded magazines to the guy using the weapon. Which was a guy laying comfortably in an angled "bed". He has one of your repeating crossbows, but he draws it with his FEET. ! Everything else about the bow worked the same, but the bow was three times as powerful. It was mounted on a pivot, and once he had cocked it, he dropped his feet onto a couple of foot braces, which allowed him to aim the bow. Can't be shot off the tower himself because except for the firing slit, it is fully enclosed, so you can have the "mouth" of the turret project over the parapet.
Excellent idea! I particularly like the thought that it could be usable for almost any bow, but of course you'd have to take the different draw lengths of the bows into consideration. If you went into production you could certainly count me in!
Not only shorter arrows or bolts, but much thinner arrows and bolts. This thinner arrows/b. can fly faster, a longer distance and can penetrate better and you maybe need no feathers (if they are more front heavy?)
Hello. I’m from Republic of Korea. I think if the Chosŏn government saw what you invented, they would adopt it as a weapon and give you a reward and a government position. Excellent!
This is such a simple design but absolutely blows my mind at how affective it is and how you’d even think up something like this!! Been watching your channel FOR YEARS mate and you never cease to amaze me!! 👏👏👏👏
It's interesting cause my mother would always tell me stories of the why they used the "baby" arrows. Apparently they were quicker, making them more deadly and they couldn't be cut out of the air by skilled swordsmen unlike normal arrows. That last part might just be for the cool factor but it's nice to know the stories of my childhood are reaching a wider audience.
@@thebravegallade731 That also. It is very nostalgic to talk about this haha. Apparently, it was a national secret that was guarded very closely. I'd imagine it wouldn't be that hard to recreate it though so it might be another creative liberty.
People who are interested should take a look at korean movie called war of arrows. Its pretty much a ripoff from the movie apocalypto but interesting movie nonetheless
Old Korean bows are compact and powerful, but noticeably weaken during rainy season (due to humidity). Koreans sometimes coated the bows with poison ivy sap to prevent weakening.
This guy's amazing! I'm not around much on UA-cam like I used to be but every time I'm here this man is doing something so unbelievable. And it doesn't just work but, It's absolutely surpasses a lot that's out there already. Amazing work! 👍🏻👍🏻
I have to say this: Jörg is a genius. It's not a surprise, that he is from Germany. Anything they do in Germany has good functionality and quality. I guess they are all engineers 😉
Would love to see the Legolas device made of carbon fiber; it would be simple to mount the foregrip/hook device on an aluminum rail for those who need a different draw length. Another fascinating video!
Das ist etwas was ich mir leisten würde. Ich hätte gerne das fanzy Zeug, erscheint mir aber in meiner Situation zu unvernünftig, aber so eine light Version, ja doch. 😀
Tong-Ah has way more penetration power than long arrow. This means Pyunjun(short arrow) shot with Tong-Ah, a sort of long gun barrel, is more fatal in a battle. Korea has a long history of winning wars against her neighboring giant invaders and many believes Korea has had more ammunition power than her invaders. Incredibly strong power of Korean bows combined with Tong-Ah, a gunbarrel for arrows, brought advantages over less powerful bows with plain arrows shot without barrel. Check the power of Tong-Ah from many experiments on UA-cam. One of them is ua-cam.com/video/Cwod-m1YlLQ/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
I would buy it! I have been following your channel for years. I can't afford an instant legolas bow so I've always had plans to build or 3d print one for myself. I use a Mongolian horse bow and would totally use something like that.
if you put a locking sliding front claw on it to adjust the attachment to the drawlength of the individual bow this will be a game changer and probably sell really well 😁👍
This is exactly what I want! In fiberglass it would be perfect-lightweight, compact, and strong. You could fit the bow, arrows, and 'Tong-Ah' in a bag that could serve as a quiver. It would weigh around 1kg!
I'd buy one. Imagine turning your favourite bow into a repeater. Imagine being able to turn a collection of your favourite bows into repeaters through one simple device. Imagine putting sights on it. It "could" redefine archery as an Olympic sport.
Very impressive. Kind of makes me want to take up that hobby again now that I'm retired (if the wife doesn't complain too much). I think I like your laugh most of all.
Beautiful bow, great improv on modification, love how u do both will put them on wish list maybe some day Santa will be nice to me anyhow phones dying, have to get back to volunteering assist on an weather damage rebuild, thanks for the vids please keep them coming
Joerg, have you heard that you can increase your penetration if you use do a paper test and use an arrow tuning chart? Hunters have even hunted Elephants with a bow and arrow because they maximized its penetration. They also use Ashby's 12 principles of Terminal Arrow Performance. He did archery testing for over two decades with many different bows and arrows to find the best penetration. He sells an arrowhead that takes all that into consideration, but I would personally just buy cheap arrowheads that take advantage of the same physics principles that he discovered.
Very cool !! Love the idea maybe a notch or a lever of some sort, up by the hand/finger hold, so it contacts the bow to release some tension on the draw. May also aid in on the fly sighting so to speak.
on many 3D-Archery grounds in my area, Compound Bows are prohibited. .. so having an instand legolas for a "normal" bow would be really awesome! On top of that, as someone who only does archery with medival bows, I would love if you can make it "adjustable" it, so it the takes thicker wood arrows.
I think a problem with this unmounted SIL for many archers using asiatic bows would be the draw length. Because of the grip you lose like 3 to 4 inches in contrast to a thumb draw, so most people might end up with a 28" draw instead of a 31" one. Since many bows in this style of archery are designed to be drawn out that far - and even report their poundage for "full" draw instead of the western 28" - using this device would severely reduce the power you get out of the bow. However, for longbows or even horse-bows with 28" draw design, this looks like much fun! Cool idea, as always.
Heck, yes! Put me down as a yes vote! Love that bow, 40lbs is a good draw for me, but I'd love the ability to shoot a wide range of arrow lengths and multiple arrows.
Cool invention. It is clear that there is groundwork for development. Lighten the design, use other materials to make it lighter. I think it's important to think about arrow magazine design. Maybe a tape or a drum?
This is absolut Amazing and so much fun to see how much fun You have !We Male Humans are Never growing up really and that is just fine because we have more fun!!!Greetings from Javors outdoor Spaß Kanal!😉🍀
Very interesting! Maybe this could actually be a product. Like a cheaper more simplistic version of the Whipshot. If it can be bought at a lower price than a Whipshot/Fenris, then maybe it has a market? Also, if we speak in legal terms such a magazine is far less conspicous as opposed to a Whipshot. Here in sweden for example where you need license for a crossbow, a Whipshot should technically be legal, but maybe the customs would confuse it for a crossbow anyway? Such a simple device, would attract much less attention, especially if sold separatley from the bow. With some training and maybe a laser sight, I can see that it could be pretty effective as a home defence weapon.
The tong-ah was for shooting smaller faster arrows. The KTB, like the turkish bow, is very good at shooting light arrows at fast speeds. Korean archers had smaller arrows specifically for use with the tong-ah.
Where you fit the string in the mechanism with the lever, instead of the hook lever method you could mount a sprung ball bearing into the handle recessed so string pops in and out witha bit of pressure but held in place and have a cleaner look as you would not see it as it would be hidden in the small gap.
you're a thief. you break into this man's home, loot everything. as you're about to leave, you hear a chuckle. you spin around and see only shadow "let me show you its FEATURES" ☠
I was about leave a comment on how he looks thinner, slender, as if he had lost weight. He does look quite healthy though, and full of energy as always!👍🏼
Would be interesting to see how you can walk around with it without taking the string out. Because you can tilt the Legolas system (because it is not bolted to the bow). So you can potentially walk around with it being just the size of the bow with the Legolas parallel to the bow, then as soon as you want to shoot it you grab the Legolas perpendicular to the bow and shoot.
In my country you have to be licensed to own anything above the tridition bow and arrow, so mostly the rich will own them..money. I love the vid you did some years ago with the air bow, where you purchase fittings and pump it up, that was nice.
Nice repeater for a bow. I would develop it to commercial use. It too could be made with carbon fiber and be compound to reduce in half the size like the bow. Set up patten pending it ASAP.
WOW! Please work with one of your business contacts to have such a device made that can adopt to a variety of bows -- including takedown bows -- instead of specifically needing to use it with a compound bow. I would love to be able to use with with my Primal Gear Compact Folding Survival Bow.
Great product for the future ..The Tong ahs available are around 120 to 240 dollars ..So if you put this into production you would get volume sales at 250 euros maybe 300 ..

Pretty much the same as Korean repeating crossbows except this one is much harder to make with the materials at the time.

A detachable instan legolas is an awesome idea. Now i can go from one bow to another bow.
Really good for wartime if your bow breaks and you have to get another bow
>if u want to assemble it, u just put it together
Yeah, thats what assembling is
Hello. I’m from Republic of Korea. I think if the Chosŏn government saw what you invented, they would adopt it as a weapon and give you a reward and a government position. Excellent!
Love this idea. If it is adjustable it means even if you lost your bow, you could grab another & use the multi-shot.
Just needs quicker access for the initial set up, and quicker way of detaching. Maybe even telescopic, so it shortens when not in use.
Please continue developing it!
This is such a simple design but absolutely blows my mind at how affective it is and how you’d even think up something like this!! Been watching your channel FOR YEARS mate and you never cease to amaze me!! 👏👏👏👏

In my country you have to be licensed to own anything above the tridition bow and arrow, so mostly the rich will own them..money. I love the vid you did some years ago with the air bow, where you purchase fittings and pump it up, that was nice.
Nice repeater for a bow. I would develop it to commercial use. It too could be made with carbon fiber and be compound to reduce in half the size like the bow. Set up patten pending it ASAP.

Your repeating mechanism could have been a history-changing invention if it had existed historically.
WOW! Please work with one of your business contacts to have such a device made that can adopt to a variety of bows -- including takedown bows -- instead of specifically needing to use it with a compound bow. I would love to be able to use with with my Primal Gear Compact Folding Survival Bow.
Great product for the future ..The Tong ahs available are around 120 to 240 dollars ..So if you put this into production you would get volume sales at 250 euros maybe 300 ..
Dankeschoen for the smile. Pretty cool, and fun.
