I love your channel dude. I've watching your vids for awhile and got back into slingshots. I just want to say that these "pocket shots" have been the go to sling shot of all the urban kids in Yonkers by since 1995. I made one as a kid with a magazine and and laser sights... is love to make a few a send them. I've been thinking of making my own slingshot channel because I enjoy your videos so much. Anyway keep doing what your doing peace and love.
we usto make these as kids in mexico out of a balloon and a plastic soda pop bottle, we would use dried berries from a tree as ammo, made for great fun as kids.
I built a similar shooting system in my childhood. It was called "flopper" and was made out of a pvc pipe. We applied a cutten finger from rubber gloves with some ducktape to shoot pies. That was a lot of fun.
Thank you so much for reviewing this product. I've seen it on line here and wondered if it was worth while getting. Sounds like a fun toy. Thanks again.
I remember making those out of a ballon and the cap from a bottle as a kid, We shot berries at eachother, It was kinda like paintball since the berries pretty much exploded on impact and left a mark on the clothes in the colour of the team, We had one Blue/Purple team and one red team. Or shooting extra long darts and see who is the most accurate shot.
Hi Joerg, We used to make these in Australia when I was a boy out of a short piece of electrical conduit and the finger from a rubber glove. We shot BBs out of them. Really love your work BTW.
Haben wir schon als Kinder vor Jahren gemacht! mit einer Toilettenpapier-Rolle und nem abgeschnitten Luftballon. Alles mit viel Klebeband zusammen und fertig!
they came out with it after he did it. Good idea, really! a handle addon from them might not be a bad idea either. especially now that they're making a band-set especially for full size arrows.
I built those with my older brothers out of cut-off bottlenecks and air ballons when i was younger. We often shot stones and fruit with it. pretty easy design and free, when we used bottles we found and ballons they gave us in pharmacies and stores.
Reminds me of the pea shooters I used to make and carry around when I was a kid. You could make one with just a straw and use it like a blowgun, but you could also use some kind of tube, cut a rubber balloon the right size, and use it like a slingshot. I made mines using film containers to which I'd cut the bottom off, and thick birthday balloons, and shoot all kind of projectiles with them. This version seems a lot more powerful, thought. Could be interesting to get one! I had seen it in the '300 Club' of the slingshot forum.
The two little pieces of round wood you used to secure the pocket shot when you conducted the draw weight test would be a great concept for making a Pocket Shot rifle so you can draw the pocket shot back into the gap so it sits there, then you could have a simple lever trigger that pushes the projectile inside the pouch over the gap and it fires.
Oh yes, those were so popular in my childhood. We made them out of balloons and plastic bottle caps. There used to grow a lot of 'rowan' trees around with loads of 'red balls' so we never run out of ammo :-) ah, the feels!
Suggestion for making making a pocketshot grip: Instead of using a normal screw, maybe you could use a threaded rod + a wingnut so you wouldn't need to have an extra tool in your pocket? Love the attachments as always
When I was young me and my friends build something similar with small pipes and the fingers of garden-gloves. We called them Grandma-killers and they worked very well with small fishing- lead, exept you had to exchange the finger-pouch quite often.
Great Review Joerg. I just bought $120 bucks worth of stuff from Pocket Shot and I'm liking it so far. I like survival type weapons that can be carried without the bulk and possibly feed yourself if the need arises, I think this item could do just that if you practice with it.
I remember doing something similar to that as a kid. I took the lip of a bottle (like a soda or water bottle) and covered it with a balloon from the dollar store. It shot pencils pretty well.
This design has been around for decades. We used to make the same thing out of PVC plumbing pipe, duct tape & used the fingers from thick rubber boiler suits as children. I remember we fired marbles out of them & they were easily powerful enough to shatter glass bottles from a fair distance :-)
I like that you gave it the Joerg treatment! The handle is a great enhancement. You should have tested the speed after attaching the handle, Im sure it performs better with the handle.
Reminds me of slingshots we used to make as kids with toilet paper rolls and balloons =) We used to shoot what I believe are called bang snaps. Basically small firecrackers that explode on impact.
i had entire arms races with diy versions of exactly that, between me and kids in the hood when i was very young. My "final" version used very thick balloons and i think was almost as powerful as the black pocket shot, though the balloons would rip pretty fast.
Important note. The pocket is latex. The.grease on regular ball bearings and steel balls will eat it. If you use them, clean off the grease with alcohol, then wash in dawn dishwashing liquid. When dry, coat the balls in caster oil to prevent rust. Also coat the latex pocket inside and out with a couple drops of caster oil. Let set for a while then wipe off excess caster oil. This will make the pocket last a lot longer. Caster oil is the only oil safe and actually good for the latex. Keep extra pockets in a zip lock bag with a little caster oil. They will not age stored this way.
i used the same principle in 2000 with cut bottle neck and regular baloons to create the pocket, it was fairly acurate and powerful and we used for amo small somewhat round rocks
It looks like something we used to make as kids called a glove gun. Basic just a tube, with the finger of a dish-washing glove tied to the end. Really easy to make on your own.
Excellent and simple device. Here in Siberia in Russia we build similar devices from the top of the plastic bottle and cutted finger-piece from rubber gloves. Juicy rowan berries usually use as ammo.
We used to make versions of these at school. We called them glove guns because we made them from pvc pipe and would chop the fingers off plastic gloves to use as the band
Nice video and nice item. When I was a kid we used to cut a finger of a rubber glove and tape it to a piece of plastic pipe. Once my friend killed a bird with it :) Finding the best brand of rubber glove was a challenge, but usually 4mm lead shots worked the best.
We made something similar when i was younger. We used roll from toilet paper and we duct taped a ballon at the end. As ammo we used the fruits from Sorbus aucuparia or sometimes really immature plums (they were still green and small). We called it pľuvátko, in english the nearest translation could be "spitter".
I was going to write Common JoergS. you should build some king of a handle for it, and while I was writing I saw you have allready think of it. Nice one Bro. GOOD LUCK, and Happy New Year ......:)
Great video, these slingshots remind me of the ones that I used to make from household items, good childhood memories :) And the modifications that you've made are totally badass, took it to a completly new level of awesomness, thanks for the video and take care ;D
Would twisting a bolt or a bearing make it fly better and faster? Since its a whole piece it removes the problem of rubber getting tangled up, also I guess you can use the handles clamp to add a form or sighting system.
Joerg, I bought one of these after seeing your review and it came in today. Do you have plans or a video on how to make the handle for the Pocket Shot? I want to make one.
We built complete arsenals of these as a kid in school, using plastic bottlenecks and baloons, and beans as ammo. Before call of duty there was beans war!
Have you ever heard of the Hawaiian sling? It is simmilar to the arrow shooting mod u made for it. Like the Tumahawk's slingshot. They are mainly used for spearfishing.
I used to make those with bottles necks and ballons as a child... as ammo i used beans, which gave them the name of "sparafasul", neapolitan for Bean shooter hahhahahhahahha
nice adapter, but i think it should use a bolt and wing nut instead of the screw, the screw will eventually weaken the wood if you take it in and out often
Oh, a zip gun. I used to make them as a kid out of a broken rubber glove, any piece of pipe, and some tape. Though they seem to have a nice product, I do not see any use for me off hand. Though very compact, I am not sure if I could hunt small game with it, so it would not help when back-packing. It is cheap enough though, so maybe I will get one and test it a bit.
Oh Yeah.. That adapter is what exactly I had in mind.. Since it would be very inconvenient for shooting with original circular frame after a few shots. And how long do they last?
Oh, Its called "spiter" (splujka) in poland we used this construction nationwide in 90's as a kids, it was home made from balloons and hair spray cap, and we were shooting small rocks!
I like the idea here. Maybe you contact the company who makes the pocket shot and show them your design. I would like to see an aluminium version of your Pocket shot grip. Regards.
also add tasers to the net to catch people and shock them, have the batteries act as the counterweight nuts and wirelessly activate the taser from a distance!
Finally something that impresses me...that handle adapter is rock on, baby! But would you replace your regular slingshot with this? I shoot marbles so far, and have doubts about this.
Same here... we shot berrys out of them when we were having our little ''wars'' so we new who got shot. sometimes someone used stones and that didnt end up well for everyone. also we used finger parts from rubber gloves instead of condoms, oh the child hood memories coming back thank u sir from this comment ! :D u could stack those finger parts to gain more powerful ''floppi''
When I was a kid, we used to make this type of slingshot (we called it a cannon) from wc paper tube (after that we upgrade it with plastic tubes) and balloon tied up with duct tape and we used olives as a ammo, haha ...so this is not something new it only looks more pretty, but ours were also very functional...
So how long will the rubber last before it tears like most balloon, glove shooters would? Because even a little hole can ruin the shooter forcing you to replace it and in some cases, you would shoot, a hole would be made and the projectile backfires.
Wondering. You probably seen the new attachment for the pocket shot. It is so similiar to the handle your made for yours.. did you help them with that or did they just copy your idea.
I built something like this on my own using a wide bottlecap and some thera band blue. It's designed to shoot pencils because I don't have arrows around ;-)
Cut the top off a plastic bottle, stretch some rubber (condom for a huge *bleep* for example) over the top and secure it like you would a slingshot bandset. What do you have?
+K.H. Have you ever tried to put one condom into another? Not easy, and very slimy. Plus, the steel balls will entangle in the rubber and terrible things will happen.
Yes, rolled them on a piece of pipe. Ended up replacing the bottle for to pieces of plastic piping that slid over the top of each other. We stretched the condoms over the smaller piece of pipe and then slid the big piece over the condoms. Took some trial and error and a few broken condoms to get the fitment right but in the end this thing was bad ass.
+JoergSprave True but we used to make them the same way but with balloons here in the netherlands it definitly works. Not to say that it's not a cool product. Maybe you can experiment with balloons some time? Liebe dein channel grussen von nebenan :)
Примерно 30 лет назад в детстве еще когда был цел Советский Союз делали такие вещи из кусочка трубки и обычного напалечника. Калибр был меньше конечно, но зато ягодами рябины или боярышника била весьма неприятно, прямо ностальгия по детству. :) Не зря есть поговорка "пока молодой и воздух чище и трава зеленее". :)
you didnt know them? its probably the first slingshot i ever built! as kids we used to build them from rubber glooming glove fingers and tinfoil rolls and shoot dried peas and rowanberries. we called them Fluppe :D
you can also hake these with balloons and bottles but i don't recommend because the dart i was shooting got out of the band and pierced my hand when i tried
this is called a "rönnbärskanon" in swedish usually made out of a used toiletpaper roll and a ballon or condom. the literal translation is rowanberry cannon
Thanks Joerg for the great review! You shot it like a Pro!

richtig :D "brand neu" ist nicht ganz korrekt, hehe. diese dinger gabs auch vor diesem spezifischen produkt schon zu kaufen
ja, wir auch. und als munition haben wir beeren benutzt. gab schöne flecken :)
nur haben wir lockenwickler anstatt klopapierrollen genommen
Gab damals (und heute bestimmt auch noch) getrocknete gelbe erbsen zu kaufen, die waren sehr gefährlich als Geschosse :D
richtig, wir haben getrocknete maiskörner geschossen :)
I knew i could count on Joerg to mod it up right :)
they came out with it after he did it. Good idea, really!
a handle addon from them might not be a bad idea either. especially now that they're making a band-set especially for full size arrows.
+DFX2KX They have made a new rubber cujiggalater that's kinda reddish, as well as an arrow adapter made out of whiskers.
your mod is probably not only more comfortable, but adds power... Nice.

Can you double up pouches? Does that work?
@@alexcrowder1673 no. Also this isn’t a good survival thing. Due to the pouch style it’s not consistent enough accuracy.
When I was a kid I use to make something like that from a baby bottle cap and the nipple. Great videos!
I remember doing something similar to that as a kid. I took the lip of a bottle (like a soda or water bottle) and covered it with a balloon from the dollar store. It shot pencils pretty well.
As kids we use to make these w/ a hair curler, yellow plastic gloves & electric tape. And they were pretty effective at causing all kinds of mayhem.
Great video and modifications!
Note: You can get similar results by using a bottle cup and a baloon.
Nicolás Pohle You wouldn't be getting that kind of power and speed from a balloon.

We made those when I was a kid. We used a lightbulb mount, rubber glove fingers and some skotchtape
Looking forward to see you'r re-designed and over-powerd version of this :)
Reminds me of a 'glove gun'. just a bit of tubing with a cut off heavy duty rubber finger.
Cool vid. Cool toy.

Had one to... i used pebbles an bbs
I used paper spitball wads
i did the same i remember that all my friend always gathered around and we did a war with beans
I used to make them with thin pvc pipe and rubber glove fingers..
nice adapter, but i think it should use a bolt and wing nut instead of the screw, the screw will eventually weaken the wood if you take it in and out often

I can see the rubber wearing out fast especially using arrows, good product for the ppl who sell it.
very nice informative video! and I also really like those custom mods you made for it.
When I was a kid we used a empty toilet paper roll and put a ballon around one end. Simple to make and was a lot of fun when I was a kid!
Oh Yeah.. That adapter is what exactly I had in mind.. Since it would be very inconvenient for shooting with original circular frame after a few shots. And how long do they last?
Oh, Its called "spiter" (splujka) in poland we used this construction nationwide in 90's as a kids, it was home made from balloons and hair spray cap, and we were shooting small rocks!
I like the idea here. Maybe you contact the company who makes the pocket shot and show them your design. I would like to see an aluminium version of your Pocket shot grip. Regards.
The thing I'm curious about is the accuracy of the thing out of the box (i.e. without the handle adaptor), I looks rather awkward to aim.
***** It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, no problems - very accurate.
Cool, thanks, I may pick one up then ;^>
Better than the standard slingahot
also add tasers to the net to catch people and shock them, have the batteries act as the counterweight nuts and wirelessly activate the taser from a distance!
Finally something that impresses me...that handle adapter is rock on, baby! But would you replace your regular slingshot with this? I shoot marbles so far, and have doubts about this.
Love the crossbow bolts part
Great video Mr Joerg... You were fun to watch ;-) Do you sell the handle adapter? Great idea...

This design has been around in Australia forever, we call them "pug guns" and make them as kids out of washing up gloves and pvc pipe. lots of fun
These were the best things when i was a kid, i remember breaking tons of windows and coming home with bruises from playing with them
Me and my friend made something similar with the neck of a bottle and a ballon. We would use bamboo skewers for ammo
have you seen they now come with a whisker biscuit part was this your idea as this vid is old, and did you get credit as useing it with a bolt?
