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).

"it's not ugly, it's effective" That phrase has unlimited potential my guy

"If I die, it's your fault" Words spoken by every weapon designer since time immemorial.

So, there seems to be a little misconception about the damage a slingshot delivers. I think most people tend to look at it like a bullet, and judge the effectiveness based upon penetration. I hunt with my slingshots, never once had any ammo actually penetrate any target I was hitting. The damage a slingshot delivers is more concussion based damage, like a baseball bat or club. The damage is from the transfer of energy on the target upon collision. I would argue some of those you thought weren’t lethal, probably actually are. Maybe not right away, but it could absolutely cause some significant brain damage

Should the apocalypse ever happen, the amount of post-fall money you could make just making "protective tools" for people is insane. A truly feared man.

21:00 "hello guys today's tommorow" was good

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!

Joerg is so freaking *based!* 😄

I’m a geomechanical engineer for a major gold mining company. I’m working from home today and came across your channel. I can either work on designing a high wall for the next mine expansion, or I can watch your videos. Obviously, no choice. Your channel is awesome!

Usopp has been real quiet since this one dropped💀💀

[RILDIGITAL]

It's genuinely surprising how dangerous a tool like a slingshot can become when built to this extent.

i am warning you, do NOT upset this guy.

[CreadorEpico]

The power of this artifact is impressive. Your videos are an inspiration, they are impeccable in editing and production
