Jörg and I have collaborated at a distance before, but never met for real.....
Jörg saw a video of my gastraphetes and decided to make his own version in only the way Jorg can and as he is in the UK right now, I took my Gastraphetes over for a comparison with his more modern version.

@@LaughingMan44 Yes, to be able to shoulder a weapon and aim with it, is an overlooked feature. Its no wonder that handgonnes were not revolutionary in warfare even though they were more powerful than bows and crossbows, only with the later invention of the arquebus, which you can shoulder and give aimed fire, battles began to change drastically.

@LaughingMan44 3 года назад

@@Scout887 Pistols/handguns of that period were not necessarily more "powerful" than crossbows and, say, longbows: within 10 meters perhaps, but the velocity of such handgun projectiles would have dropped dramatically and quickly.

@goatmeal5241 3 года назад

This may have been said elsewhere, but has Joerg considered using different cams which don't have such an abrupt fall-off? If you're using your weight to draw it, the draw force is pretty constant, and since he put a lock on it, it doesn't need to be so light at full draw. Also it looked awkward to have such a jerk downwards (and the rail almost jabbing one's stomach) when the resistance suddenly fell.

@john-paulsilke893 3 года назад

Agreed. This is a very small hole in his ethos of design. He’s a big strong guy, (I am as well so I definitely understand) and many of his designs reflect this rough and ready attitude. Also let us not forget he’s often making a quick and dirty tool/weapon.

@solarissv777 3 года назад

alternatively, adding a stirrup on the bottom of the contraption and some rubber bands could allow to use even stronger bow. Basically invest energy on pulling the bow back with your legs and back muscles, and retrieve it when pushing down (especially it would help on the initial stage of the string drawing). This solution would allow to have draw weight even higher, then shooter's own mass.

@2bingtim 3 года назад

@@ricasteli The advantage you're missing is that if it's intrinsic to the bow, you can't lose or get stolen the cocking device. It's basically a long threaded rod that goes right through the stock from the butt, ending in a claw to engage the string. A kinda large wing-nut at the butt is what you wind up/down to allow the claw to reach & engage the string, then wound up until it cocks the string at the nut. Not terribly fast to use I'd think, but probably similar to cranequins or windlasses. I'd guess a lever-system built into the stock would be best for speed.
