Gotta love that Joerg is a crossbow/slingshot/kinetic weapon fanboy first, engineer second. He gets as giddy as a kid with a toy as soon as he has a functional model; and he designed it! Great design on this one, in all of its configurations. The ease of assembly/disassembly makes this a very practical "backpack" weapon, for both pre and post Zombie Apocalypse use.
I dont think it is much of a weapon, more a fun target shooting piece. The bow part is small, its fast and easy to cock, and the bolts are small. I doubt it has energy to kill anything bigger than a rabbit.
Or pick up an AR 15 with a 16" barrel. Or a Vektor. Or an MP5 variant. Or a sidearm. All of those things are OBJECTIVELY superior to a laughable crossbow.
as a german. i agree. theres humor, a lil' rebel-ish attitude, trial & error progression over years (y'all remember the early vids? plywood & co^^) and so much more i would like the world to see, in a lot (not all. ofc) of zhem germans ^^ and because im a 'lil condesending towards bavaria (as a true prussian-born person should be) oktoberfest is a sham, and lederhosen are a lie ! Bonus-Info: Nobody from berlin considers freakin' currywurst as a local specialty! Get a veal Döner (NO chicken. I'm serious. it's an insult to the original version of a Berlin Döner Kebap)

Both firearms and archery.I am an artist, designer, painter, builder,etc.... You taught me a lot. Doing things in a series and development. I have a very simple product and have done 9 iterations. Sometimes the first iteration is the best, the less complex it is. Your world is so wild and cool. I think everyone wants to drink tall beers with you.

If I may, red dots are actually mounted farther forward toward the middle of your rail. Since they are made to shoot with both eyes open, having that field of vision around the optic is what makes them great. A red dot with a magnifier would be sick on this crossbow.
was about to comment this. if you are using them correctly the casing of the optic won’t impede your vision at all. on my ars i mount them as far forward on the upper receiver as possible.
No it wouldn't. It's a crossbow. There is no reason to have any kind of magnification on a crossbow. This isn't a mini 14. It's a crossbow with extremely limited range and accuracy. Chances are you'll miss anyway since ... shocking, no rifling. Just buy a rifle. With the price tag this thing has, you can pick up an SKS or AR15 for equal or less.

No it won't. Are you even from North America? We have GUNS here. We have more guns than people here. We don't need an inferior technology that's been dead for the past 500 years.
May a suggest something? The thumb release for the cocking system should placed on the side (As a stirrup) so it can be pressed while gripping the crossbow without going over.
You could also just place your thumb on top of the release, if you know that you will be shooting more than once. It's probably another part of training with the thing. I agree though, having the release on the side where the thumb is, so it's easier to reach, would've been a wiser decision.
Got to hand it to ya, been watching forever and its great to see that from the first few videos of wood made products to many years later, your still on the path and getting closer to your "dream". I plan to pick one up when available.
From the first prototype made from wood to this. What an awesome journey. You are a shining beacon of what can be achieved with knowledge, passion, and determination.
hello Jorge u should tell the manufacturer to design a two-fire trigger, which means that the trigger has two positions. After pressing it, it is fired first, and then pressing the trigger to the end is to release the lever, so that the firing speed will be higher and the safety will not be affected.
More complexity means more testing, higher cost, and more delays. This is a reliable, off-the-shelf build that has a bunch of potential for aftermarket support. 100%, later designs can have extra features for extra cost, maybe a "custom" shop for people who want a more "tactical" look and don't have or want to darken their screws themselves (😂).
Absolutely. Can’t drop a deer with the current one, way too weak. Hits with less force than a 40lb long bow. The Gatling looks like it’ll have the power, but it’s pcp. Whole different ballgame. @@jonnes__4657
He finally fuckin did it. The absolute mad lad. I remember when this all started from the Instant Legolas idea. Absolutely insane how much it’s evolved over the years.
Would it perhaps be possible to place the lever or button that you have to press to draw the bow where your thumb is when shooting? So that you don't always have to reach around to draw the bow?
Very cool and I will definitely get one (if the price is right - website says $600 but not for sale yet)! However, it seems a little underpower if the replacement Magnum throwing arm is only 120 lbs, meaning the standard arm is probably like 100 lbs (or less). I think the Magnum should be standard and a stronger arm of say 160 lbs would be a better choice.
🤩 hab schon nicht mehr dran geglaubt, dass die noch kommt. Aber im Endeffekt greift er jedes mal um beim spannen, also sieht im Handling leider nicht anders aus als bei der Stinger 😅
Stimme dir zu, das Ergebnis der langen Entwicklungsphase ist doch etwas ernüchternd. Auch das "Schnellwechseln" des Wurfarms ist eher umständlich, das kann etwa die Vlad besser und die aktuellste Version der Stinger laut Videos auch. Ist die Schulterstütze längenverstellbar? Wurde zumindest nicht gezeigt.Die Sehne knallt bei stärkeren Bögen womölich voll in die Spannkrallen, weil diese sehr nah an der Ruheposition ist. Bleibt als einziger großer Vorteil der niedrige Aufbau oben. Das ist m.E. zu wenig um die Stinger wirklich zu verdrängen.
@@maxhochweiler7780 Bei dem Prototyp-Video vor 11 Monaten war der AR-15 Schaft etwas weiter unten, sodass er nicht umgreifen musste. Er hat ja gesagt, man könne auch den niedrigeren AR-15 Schaft bekommen. Vielleicht müsste man dann nicht mehr umgreifen.
I have to say that I like the range of options in this product. The fact that you can switch out to a limb with 120 pounds of force is VERY nice! I had a Barnet wildcat 150 lbs crossbow, and it was a beast to try and cock; that this only has 30 lbs less of force and can be cocked and recocked so easily is a definite plus!
Awesome weapon innovator imagine if you had made this ages thousands of years of ago you would’ve been a weapon genius marvel war general so props to your creative nature and brilliant mind!
I absolutely love your infectious enthusiasm and love for this craft! Also, I just want to note that you never want to mount a red dot on a moving part. Besides that, everything was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
This really looks like something Hawkeye from the Marvel movies should have equipped. Just imagine the sales boost if you`d get this featured in a movie!
Jorge, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IDEAS just flowing from that creative brain of yours! I couldn't imagine the time and energy you gave to the interceptor to finally bring it to real life!!!!! let me thank you for ALL the just absolutely awesome vids you've given to us over these years!!!!! From one George to another...........WELL DONE BROTHER!!!!!!!!
Sieht echt cool aus! Glückwunsch schon mal Jörg und Fa. Mey. Ich hoffe sie verkauft sich gut! Fast 500€ sind aber schon ein paar Überlegungen vorher wert... 😅
Echt schade das unsere Waffenkultur so unnötig zerstört wurde. Wenn man in Amerika sieht, dass man da für 400$ einen AR upper kaufen kann der zu verlässig 5 k Schuss durchbringen kann bevor man die ersten Teile tauschen muss...
@@tyrnordmann5580 Unser Waffengesetz ist zwar sehr restriktiv und ungeil, wie alle die Joerg gern haben sicherlich zustimmen. Aber ein Land in dem man sich problemlos eine AR15 oder ähnliche Halbautomaten über Kaliber .22 für einen Bruchteil vom Monatsgehalt holen kann, hat ganz andere Probleme als wir. Ist schon gut so, dass man da als Normalo nicht ran kommt, ausser in absoluter Illegalität.
Things I'd like to see in the next video on this: (Ahem...) :) 1. Bolt average weight. 2. Velocity testing of bolt using the most powerful set-up. 3. Speed testing with re-cocking. (It looks like one shot every three to four seconds or so right now? That was casual though... What can you really do?) 4. A realistic assessment of how hard it is to reset. It's still not hard to do, for a giant powerlifter Hahaha! What about a normal person? Or even a fairly fit, but not huge one? So far it's impressive, I admit. Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful! Looks so incredible cool. With this incredible design I can already imagine the gold standard of all crossbows ever: The magazin fed, maybe bottom fed,straight pump action crossbow. I hope I can experience this in my lifetime.
I'm no Jorge, but from the size and tension length I'm estimating ~10kg of draw force (so, around 75J of energy, because energy transfer is never perfect, so I'm estimating 25% loss), and bolts weigh a scant under 10g according to the manufacturer, so it can't exceed 122m/s or 400 fps. Realistically, I'd say it's under 200 fps.
Joerg, that is incredible! It's great to see that the world's greatest cheerful "mad" scientist is still at work, and you have put together a beautiful product. Keep up the great work!
Love it Jorge! Had you considered putting the cocking release on the front grip so you can keep your (rear) firing hand in the same grip position, allowing more consistent trigger pull accuracy between shots, and as a bonus, more speed between shots?
FYI, if it’s not a perfect dot…..take a picture either your phone through the optic….of it’s better you have a stigmatism. But holographic and prism sights won’t affect your stigmatism.
Das mit den Stiften zur Demontage von Waffenteilen ist das selbe System, wie z.B. bei der H&K MP5 oder G36 etc. sehr gut, Schrauben sind was für Spielzeuge (Am Griff ist es ok). Tolles Ding ist gekauft. Als Du am Tisch gesessen hast hörten die Teile sich Teilweise metallisch an, bin also guter Hoffnung das viel Alu verbaut ist und nicht nur Plaste.
With all due respect to the Germans, I consider him the real-life Stark, Mr. Joerg, he brought innovations to crossbows never seen before, without a doubt, as already highlighted here, it is the most sensational, without flattery, but with sincere praise for a master of weapons, I believe we will see even more advancement in them. but this is the apple of the eye of industrial archery.
Grundsätzlich ein echt schönes Stück! Ich bin echt am überlegen! Aber…man muss ja im Endeffekt doch umgreifen! Und dieses: „Ich weiß nicht wie stark der Magnum ist“ war echt überflüssig! Immerhin hat Jörg die Wurfarme selber vorgestellt. Ist jetzt grundsätzlich nicht schlimm…nur albern. Dennoch muss ich ein Riesen Kompliment für dieses schöne Stück Ingenieurskunst aussprechen! Sehr schön sehr durchdacht und sehr schön mitgedacht bei der Kompatibilität mit den Steambow wurfarmen! 🫡 das warten scheint sich wirklich gelohnt zu haben! Vielen Dank für diese tolle Armbrust an GoGun Und Mey! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That is. REALLY. COOL. I want one bad, now. Thanks for the video Joerg! Hope everything is going great for you, and that it continues to be so in future.
I would love a thumb release for the break action part to the left of the crossbow instead of on top (or an ambidextrous release for left handed people). The lever should be spring loaded to not have unwanted opening. I dislike the idea to have to move my thumb so much
Looks great. I've been very eagerly waiting for this. I'll order in the UK as soon as I can. I did notice though that as soon as you started firing it, you immediately went back to moving your hand off the trigger every time to cock it, just like on the other crossbows. Just a habit? Is the thumb button difficult to reach?
Joerg, one thing I have not seen with bow & arrow and crossbow tests is adding a lubricant to the bolt head to increase penetration. Firearms use a barrel so these options are limited. But I think adding a very light coat of a Teflon or moly grease to the points will greatly improve penetration.
At 4:301 you stated that you should always mount a red dot as far back as possible. This not true, with any 1X red dot you always shoot with both eyes open so you have a wider field of view. With the dot mounted out away from your eye, it makes it much easier to shoot at moving targets, much like a skeet or trap shotgun.
So schnell hätte ich ja jetzt nicht mit nem Video gerechnet. Aber jetzt hast du ja doch manchmal "umgegriffen" beim Spannen z.B. bei @6:05 :D Ist das Spannen mit der Schulterstütze in der unteren Konfiguration vielleicht etwas einfacher, wie im Prototypen Video? Und mit dem Red Dot so nah wie möglich am Auge. Letztens hatte ich ein Video gesehen, dort meinte man das Red Dot sollte etwas weiter nach vorne, damit man mehr von seiner Umgebung im Blick hat. Ist sicher Vorliebe, was einem besser liegt. Die unterschiedlichen Lauf Aufsätze sind ne coole Sache.
I have to correct you on where red dot optics go, you don't want them all the way back close to your face as the body of the optic obscures your peripheral vision. The goal is to have your red dot as far away from your eye as possible while having it close enough that you can easily find the dot within the optics glass. If you see how most people place the optic on a rifle it's usually not on the closest picatinny slot to your eye.
I actually wasn't aware of this, but I _did_ immediately notice the dot sight was on the freely moving part of the rail. Shouldn't any sight go on the foreward section of rail that's fixed to the barrel?
@@Chicky_LumpsYes, red dots should b placed where they won't move. For example on ARs you place it as close to the barrel as possible without it going onto the hand guard "why you don't put it on the top of the hand guard is because hand guards can rotate and shift over time throwing off your zero." You never want a red dot very close to your face, scopes on the other hand are an exception because they have something known as eye relief and eye box where if it's not at the right distance of your eye, you can't see through it properly.
Looks really good. I like the package. What interest me really with a crossbow kind of weapon if a longer arrow guidance in front of the end of the bow really has any effect on accuracy. It sure will slow the arrow down a little bit. It's not like a longer barrel in a rifle will give the bullet more length to be accelerated. Can't wait for a comparison test. My guess is it's really neglectable and all comes down to style preference if you want the longer or shorter version.
Immer noch umgreifen zum entriegeln?? Tut mir sorry, aber das ist bei einem so tollem neuem System lächerlich. In dem Fall ist es schon wieder egal ob ich das Magazin von oben oder unten einbringe. Vom Preis ganz zu schweigen. Hab mich auf das Teil gefreut, aber so nicht.
The algorithm recommended this video after a decade of not seeing much of your content! You've come a long way from testing different slingshot "rubbers"! Well engineered!
that magazine is magnificent! I'm tempted to save up for one of these just to get my hands on one, could make a Fenris-style adapter that would fit it, or even modify my air-bow design (as that is set up to use string to act on the bolts instead of shooting air into the bolts themselves) to have a mag that actually WORKS. then again, I have to actually try building that design to begin with...
Ever consider adding an automatic cocking mechanism? Perhaps using CO2 power or .22lr blanks and gas tube, With an auto cocker you could double, triple, or quadruple the draw weight. That would be cool.
Wintergatan found that releasing something like marbles is way more consistent and accurate than pushing. I like your addition of an actual nice trigger release for what looks like a def premium bow!
It would be great if you could include a barrel attachment that has a fixed light and laser combination built into it. German law explicitly only outlaws lights and lasers if their purpose is to be attached to a firearm. If you make the mount proprietary (or sometimes even just sell the part with the picatinny mount as purposed for this crossbow, I had the same thing cleared from my local weapons bureau for a JPX jet protector with their light sold to be mounted), you could sell this with a light and laser attachment which would greatly improve this for night time and "bump in the night" use
dont get me wrong, i love this crossbow, but it really doesnt to seem to be THAT easy to use the "leveraction". You are pretty strong guy and i can see that you have to put a bit of Schmalz into the process of cocking the string. Isnt there any way to make that reloadprocess easier? Maybe with pulleys?
I have to say, I never really was too intrigued by crossbows. Fun to shoot, sure, but always just a tiny bit too much of a hassle to operate. Especially considering how much it cant do, compared to other things. But this is a gamechanger. I love all of it, from functionality to design. Lets hope there wont be too many complications coming up and it'll go into production without issue.
Gotta love that Joerg is a crossbow/slingshot/kinetic weapon fanboy first, engineer second. He gets as giddy as a kid with a toy as soon as he has a functional model; and he designed it!

Bleibt als einziger großer Vorteil der niedrige Aufbau oben. Das ist m.E. zu wenig um die Stinger wirklich zu verdrängen.
Die Druckmagazine könnten früher oder später auch Probleme machen ...

Bei dem Prototyp-Video vor 11 Monaten war der AR-15 Schaft etwas weiter unten, sodass er nicht umgreifen musste.
Er hat ja gesagt, man könne auch den niedrigeren AR-15 Schaft bekommen. Vielleicht müsste man dann nicht mehr umgreifen.
I have to say that I like the range of options in this product. The fact that you can switch out to a limb with 120 pounds of force is VERY nice! I had a Barnet wildcat 150 lbs crossbow, and it was a beast to try and cock; that this only has 30 lbs less of force and can be cocked and recocked so easily is a definite plus!
Awesome weapon innovator imagine if you had made this ages thousands of years of ago you would’ve been a weapon genius marvel war general so props to your creative nature and brilliant mind!
Das sieht doch sehr vielversprechend aus! Freue mich auf die endgültige Version!🤩
WOW this is really next level !!!
I absolutely love your infectious enthusiasm and love for this craft! Also, I just want to note that you never want to mount a red dot on a moving part. Besides that, everything was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
This really looks like something Hawkeye from the Marvel movies should have equipped. Just imagine the sales boost if you`d get this featured in a movie!
At that point everyone would be thinking "dude...just use a gun."
Jorge, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IDEAS just flowing from that creative brain of yours! I couldn't imagine the time and energy you gave to the interceptor to finally bring it to real life!!!!! let me thank you for ALL the just absolutely awesome vids you've given to us over these years!!!!! From one George to another...........WELL DONE BROTHER!!!!!!!!
Sieht echt cool aus! Glückwunsch schon mal Jörg und Fa. Mey. Ich hoffe sie verkauft sich gut!
Fast 500€ sind aber schon ein paar Überlegungen vorher wert... 😅
Fa. Mey wird bald keine Stühle mehr bauen müssen 🙂
Echt schade das unsere Waffenkultur so unnötig zerstört wurde. Wenn man in Amerika sieht, dass man da für 400$ einen AR upper kaufen kann der zu verlässig 5 k Schuss durchbringen kann bevor man die ersten Teile tauschen muss...
@@tyrnordmann5580 Unser Waffengesetz ist zwar sehr restriktiv und ungeil, wie alle die Joerg gern haben sicherlich zustimmen.
Aber ein Land in dem man sich problemlos eine AR15 oder ähnliche Halbautomaten über Kaliber .22 für einen Bruchteil vom Monatsgehalt holen kann, hat ganz andere Probleme als wir.
Ist schon gut so, dass man da als Normalo nicht ran kommt, ausser in absoluter Illegalität.
Things I'd like to see in the next video on this: (Ahem...) :)
1. Bolt average weight.
2. Velocity testing of bolt using the most powerful set-up.
3. Speed testing with re-cocking. (It looks like one shot every three to four seconds or so right now? That was casual though... What can you really do?)
4. A realistic assessment of how hard it is to reset. It's still not hard to do, for a giant powerlifter Hahaha! What about a normal person? Or even a fairly fit, but not huge one?
So far it's impressive, I admit. Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful! Looks so incredible cool.
With this incredible design I can already imagine the gold standard of all crossbows ever:
The magazin fed, maybe bottom fed,straight pump action crossbow. I hope I can experience this in my lifetime.
Also, the forward and back motions of the pump could both contribute to drawing the bow. That is the next refinement I'd say.
Love it - been watching this channel for a long time and its amazing what Joerg has achieved!
Die beste Armbrust die ich je gesehen habe...
Danke Jörg!👍
Optisch ja! Aber die Zeit wird es zeigen ob es so ist
I am very happy to see this come to fruition BUT I have to say - the joy it brings you is bringing a smile to my face, my friend!
Awesome Jorge !!! Just 1 request - Could you please always include the FPS and bolt gram weight in all your crossbow vids - Thx.
I'm no Jorge, but from the size and tension length I'm estimating ~10kg of draw force (so, around 75J of energy, because energy transfer is never perfect, so I'm estimating 25% loss), and bolts weigh a scant under 10g according to the manufacturer, so it can't exceed 122m/s or 400 fps. Realistically, I'd say it's under 200 fps.
Joerg, that is incredible! It's great to see that the world's greatest cheerful "mad" scientist is still at work, and you have put together a beautiful product. Keep up the great work!
Love it Jorge! Had you considered putting the cocking release on the front grip so you can keep your (rear) firing hand in the same grip position, allowing more consistent trigger pull accuracy between shots, and as a bonus, more speed between shots?
That's awesome lol. Love everything about it. I could use it out here on the farm.
Red dots sitzen normal relativ weit vorne damit das Visier selbst nicht so viel Sichtfeld blockiert, da man sie mit beiden Augen offen schießt.
FYI, if it’s not a perfect dot…..take a picture either your phone through the optic….of it’s better you have a stigmatism. But holographic and prism sights won’t affect your stigmatism.
Sometimes I put your videos on to help put my niece's to sleep. You have a very calming voice and you look like there father who is not often around.
Das mit den Stiften zur Demontage von Waffenteilen ist das selbe System, wie z.B. bei der H&K MP5 oder G36 etc. sehr gut, Schrauben sind was für Spielzeuge (Am Griff ist es ok). Tolles Ding ist gekauft. Als Du am Tisch gesessen hast hörten die Teile sich Teilweise metallisch an, bin also guter Hoffnung das viel Alu verbaut ist und nicht nur Plaste.
With all due respect to the Germans, I consider him the real-life Stark, Mr. Joerg, he brought innovations to crossbows never seen before, without a doubt, as already highlighted here, it is the most sensational, without flattery, but with sincere praise for a master of weapons, I believe we will see even more advancement in them. but this is the apple of the eye of industrial archery.
The scope being closer to the barrel means it has lower "height over bore" in firearm terminology
I saw it on Go Gun for $600. It is not available yet but the price was there
just a placeholder
It's been there for a year, but the images have been updated recently with this version.
It is a beautiful design, shows that a lot of thought has gone into each aspect of the mechanism. You should be really proud, well done!
Grundsätzlich ein echt schönes Stück! Ich bin echt am überlegen! Aber…man muss ja im Endeffekt doch umgreifen! Und dieses: „Ich weiß nicht wie stark der Magnum ist“ war echt überflüssig! Immerhin hat Jörg die Wurfarme selber vorgestellt. Ist jetzt grundsätzlich nicht schlimm…nur albern. Dennoch muss ich ein Riesen Kompliment für dieses schöne Stück Ingenieurskunst aussprechen! Sehr schön sehr durchdacht und sehr schön mitgedacht bei der Kompatibilität mit den Steambow wurfarmen! 🫡 das warten scheint sich wirklich gelohnt zu haben! Vielen Dank für diese tolle Armbrust an GoGun Und Mey! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wenn du den anderen Adapter anbringst, ist die Schulterstütze unten und du musst nicht mehr umgreifen.
@@rahlap2449 ah…ok! Danke!
@@rahlap2449 Woher weißt du das?
@@derklingone8120 Joerg hat das Teil schon mehrmals vorgestellt. Da hat er beide Versionen bereits gezeigt
this is such a kickass video and not only because of the mindblowing product. great energy Joerg, what an exciting idea
11:47 i waited 11 months for this!!!
I waited this for so long, too! 14:16
That is. REALLY. COOL. I want one bad, now. Thanks for the video Joerg! Hope everything is going great for you, and that it continues to be so in future.
Coolest crossbow ever,i agree with Joerg
I would love a thumb release for the break action part to the left of the crossbow instead of on top (or an ambidextrous release for left handed people). The lever should be spring loaded to not have unwanted opening. I dislike the idea to have to move my thumb so much
Sieht gut aus, nur der kleine Knopf vor jedem Nachladen besorgt mich etwas… 🤷🏼♂️
All I want is when and where to buy one.
Looks great. I've been very eagerly waiting for this. I'll order in the UK as soon as I can. I did notice though that as soon as you started firing it, you immediately went back to moving your hand off the trigger every time to cock it, just like on the other crossbows. Just a habit? Is the thumb button difficult to reach?
Would this count as a "self-loading" crossbow in the UK?
Imagine if the pest control showed up with a pair of these. Bye bye flying rats.
Joerg, one thing I have not seen with bow & arrow and crossbow tests is adding a lubricant to the bolt head to increase penetration. Firearms use a barrel so these options are limited. But I think adding a very light coat of a Teflon or moly grease to the points will greatly improve penetration.
At 4:301 you stated that you should always mount a red dot as far back as possible. This not true, with any 1X red dot you always shoot with both eyes open so you have a wider field of view. With the dot mounted out away from your eye, it makes it much easier to shoot at moving targets, much like a skeet or trap shotgun.
Agreed, and aesthetically I feel like it should be mounted in front of the break, rather than behind it, at least.
Excellent!....thank you for your commentary and presentation.
So schnell hätte ich ja jetzt nicht mit nem Video gerechnet.
Aber jetzt hast du ja doch manchmal "umgegriffen" beim Spannen z.B. bei @6:05 :D
Ist das Spannen mit der Schulterstütze in der unteren Konfiguration vielleicht etwas einfacher, wie im Prototypen Video?
Und mit dem Red Dot so nah wie möglich am Auge. Letztens hatte ich ein Video gesehen, dort meinte man das Red Dot sollte etwas weiter nach vorne, damit man mehr von seiner Umgebung im Blick hat.
Ist sicher Vorliebe, was einem besser liegt.
Die unterschiedlichen Lauf Aufsätze sind ne coole Sache.
You don’t always want a red dot all the way close to your eye, it can take away situational awareness
Der Prototyp hatt mir besser gefallen.
Wonderful .. great to see it become a reality .. well done Sir!
There can steambow pack in.
my mouth went wide open when you showed the cocking/reload mechanism. looks so fun!
5:15 DUde! That is going to pinch some trigger fingers for sure. There needs to be a finger guard or rest there.
I have to correct you on where red dot optics go, you don't want them all the way back close to your face as the body of the optic obscures your peripheral vision. The goal is to have your red dot as far away from your eye as possible while having it close enough that you can easily find the dot within the optics glass. If you see how most people place the optic on a rifle it's usually not on the closest picatinny slot to your eye.
I actually wasn't aware of this, but I _did_ immediately notice the dot sight was on the freely moving part of the rail. Shouldn't any sight go on the foreward section of rail that's fixed to the barrel?
@@Chicky_LumpsYes, red dots should b placed where they won't move. For example on ARs you place it as close to the barrel as possible without it going onto the hand guard "why you don't put it on the top of the hand guard is because hand guards can rotate and shift over time throwing off your zero." You never want a red dot very close to your face, scopes on the other hand are an exception because they have something known as eye relief and eye box where if it's not at the right distance of your eye, you can't see through it properly.
I want. Make it not expensive!
First calculations from a few months ago said around 500
@@Fuerwahrhalunke wow I will get 2!
Congrats Joerg!! I hope this absolutely blows up and sells out immediately!
Leider doch umgreifen, schade......dann kann ich auch ne Steambow kaufen.
Looks really good. I like the package.
What interest me really with a crossbow kind of weapon if a longer arrow guidance in front of the end of the bow really has any effect on accuracy. It sure will slow the arrow down a little bit. It's not like a longer barrel in a rifle will give the bullet more length to be accelerated. Can't wait for a comparison test. My guess is it's really neglectable and all comes down to style preference if you want the longer or shorter version.
now rocket assisted arrows please!
You a genius inventor, I most wish I had your talent, can’t wait for the official release
Immer noch umgreifen zum entriegeln?? Tut mir sorry, aber das ist bei einem so tollem neuem System lächerlich. In dem Fall ist es schon wieder egal ob ich das Magazin von oben oder unten einbringe. Vom Preis ganz zu schweigen. Hab mich auf das Teil gefreut, aber so nicht.
just pre-ordered mine, it's supposed to be delivered in six months from now. Can't wait.
who else wants to see this on garand thumb?
The algorithm recommended this video after a decade of not seeing much of your content! You've come a long way from testing different slingshot "rubbers"! Well engineered!
that magazine is magnificent! I'm tempted to save up for one of these just to get my hands on one, could make a Fenris-style adapter that would fit it, or even modify my air-bow design (as that is set up to use string to act on the bolts instead of shooting air into the bolts themselves) to have a mag that actually WORKS. then again, I have to actually try building that design to begin with...
That is awesome. well done sir. your channel and your ingenuity has grown so much since i started watching years ago now.
I'm so proud you've gotten to this point, thank you for the great content
How good is bloke's smile! Wish i could by one of them beauties but the aussie government will be sure to ban these's if they havent already!!
Ever consider adding an automatic cocking mechanism? Perhaps using CO2 power or .22lr blanks and gas tube, With an auto cocker you could double, triple, or quadruple the draw weight. That would be cool.
Its been a couple years sense ive seen one of your videos. Hearing that laugh... brought me back to better days
Wintergatan found that releasing something like marbles is way more consistent and accurate than pushing. I like your addition of an actual nice trigger release for what looks like a def premium bow!
i remember your stuff from back in genmay days, congrats on all you've accomplished
This thing is SO cool. I hope i can buy one ASAP! (The Netherlands)
It would be great if you could include a barrel attachment that has a fixed light and laser combination built into it. German law explicitly only outlaws lights and lasers if their purpose is to be attached to a firearm. If you make the mount proprietary (or sometimes even just sell the part with the picatinny mount as purposed for this crossbow, I had the same thing cleared from my local weapons bureau for a JPX jet protector with their light sold to be mounted), you could sell this with a light and laser attachment which would greatly improve this for night time and "bump in the night" use
Attaching a laser to a crossbow is illegal in Germany.
@@Slingshotchannel That's... an absolutely petty law.
Your yard is looking beautiful!
dont get me wrong, i love this crossbow, but it really doesnt to seem to be THAT easy to use the "leveraction". You are pretty strong guy and i can see that you have to put a bit of Schmalz into the process of cocking the string. Isnt there any way to make that reloadprocess easier? Maybe with pulleys?
Get rid of the bow and add a powerful spring with an auto cocker.
I have to say, I never really was too intrigued by crossbows. Fun to shoot, sure, but always just a tiny bit too much of a hassle to operate. Especially considering how much it cant do, compared to other things.
But this is a gamechanger. I love all of it, from functionality to design.
Lets hope there wont be too many complications coming up and it'll go into production without issue.
The design seems excellent, now you need a much stronger bow with an electric assist and you have a genuine, serious, semi-auto xbow.
Absolutely love it 👍 congratulations Joerg you have made a master piece 🫡
