Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I wonder what makes somebody post a video like this of themselves. Are people that desperate for their 15 minutes? P.S. The video is not for the squeamish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Reminds me of the time at the range when we had a bowling pin match. They had them setting on a 2by on top of a 55 gallon drum. I could see that a low left or right shot would track around the bead and come back pretty much intact and hardly slowed. The other shooters dismissed the possibility. Brother-in-law and I excused ourselves and got d-hell back. Not long after one of the guys got thumped pretty good. Lucky it hit him where he was wearing a heavy jacket. It still broke the skin and left a painful bruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a "truth in advertizing" thing. The guy has a fair number of videos of himself using various slingshots he has made and doing some impressive stuff with some of them. This is just one showing some of the hazards. Unbelievable!!!! Yeah, those champagne bottles are tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 LOL. The guy's a loon. However, I did want to build his skill saw blade slingshot. He's got a very Cherman sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Hold my champagne and watch this! It looks a bit fake, as supported by GG's post... I laughed, I cried - but mostly I laughed and laughed. He didn't lose an eye, he didn't die, and it's always much funnier when it's not me!

Tom Bullweed Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 'made to protect the hand' - He was honest about that. 'a very safe slingshot' - in relative terms maybe. Slinging 10-ga balls at 200-300 fps likely does not sound very safe in any circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 'made to protect the hand' - He was honest about that. 'a very safe slingshot' - in relative terms maybe. Slinging 10-ga balls at 200-300 fps likely does not sound very safe in any circumstances. Neither does shooting them (or anything else) out of a gun at mush higher velocities. Just ask Diane Feinstein, the Lord High mayor of NYC, Sarah Brady, Jerry moonbeam, and a host of others. Don't make the mistake of becoming one of THEM!

Whichever, it was interesting. I liked the sound and dust it kicked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
