@@shawnwimberly9294 "Tournaments" is a great idea! We usually just shot for fun when we were bored. But the challenge of competition is a great way to get the adrenaline and the blood flowing!
Getting flashbacks to doing the paper wasp rubber band thing in school and having it go wrong and slap my hand. Probably at 1.5x worse if this goes wrong lmao
Don't think it will rip off ur hand but the dart going into your hand and the rubber band continuing to push the back of the dart while the front pushes off your bone or the wood can cause ER level of injury
You could seat the dart wrong. Or misalign your shot along the y-axis. Or overdraw. Or have the band (or any part of the entire assembly, really) snap/otherwise fail on you through no fault of your own. Easier and safer to just buy a gun , if you can.
Just needs an optional horizontal fore grip, red dot laser light, folding stock and of course we'll need some kinda reverse suppressor... like maybe a _"Louder"?_ 😂😂😂
@@khimik7well said! have you ever seen the crazy russian divers in Chernobyl! it’s on youtube! probably one of the dumbest yet hilarious videos i ever watch! Russians are definitely built different from rest of humanity. i am part Russian myself.
This feels like the studio commissioned some guy on RU-vid to make a lord of the rings tech demo, but then came to him like 2 weeks before release and was like “actually I wanted it to be a video game”
OUTSTANDING! Now, use some serious hand arm protection and a high collared cover for your neck/face. Everything eventually breaks/fails. I once had an exploding arrow send the fetching part of the arrow right back at me perfectly. Fortunately, I allways watch the fly the entire way and turned my head just in time. I was a kid then and very fast. Now I'm old and don't want to repeat that test. Allways take into account, what can happen when things go wrong, because at some point in time, they will go very wrong. I Love your video and don't want to discourage you at all. Just want to make sure your around to make new videos!
@BenPatrik , YES! Ammonium tri-iodide. I don't remember how much, but it was enough. Ya know the little snap caps that the kids play with on the 4th of July? They throw them down, and they pop. That is a contact Explosive called Ammonium tri-iodide. Very friction and pressure sensitive. When I was in high school, we made a lot of different things. Way back then, it was legal and ok. I could go to the drugstore when I was 10 and buy all the chemicals to make black powder and other more powerful things. I actually was bringing in my pyrotechnics chemistry book to see the pharmacist to show him what I needed to order and what I was going to make. That was back in 67. Anyway, I modified an arrow tip to fit a black powder primer and filled the hollowed out tip with ammonium tri-iodide, and then let it dry. It is mixed as a wet solution. Then I sealed it with nail polish and let that dry. Screw it on an arrow, and it's done. It requires shock or friction to break the dried crystals in order to detonate. Packed it its compartment, it was fine. Just don't drop it. It was an experiment to see if it was possible. I proved it could be done. If I were ever to do it again, there would be many changes, including the chemicals used. Something faster and much more stable. I was a kid Screwing around. We lived far out of town in a wilderness area. Nobody to play with and had a lot of books, information, and interests in survival, wilderness bushcraft, chemistry, metallurgy, hunting, and Rockets. I made a lot of different things. That was just one of many different things. Back then, the world was a very different place without many of the rules, laws, and problems that exist today. The tip blew up and propelled the arrow back very close to its original flight path, narrowly missing me. I was much faster back then. Now, with everything I know, I could get exactly the effect I would want without it coming back at me. I am a second-generation rocket science engineering and manufacturing expert in the defense industry, like my father before me. I've been doing it for a very long time.
My dad taught me how to make slingshots like this from dog wood trees and book rubber bands. His dad/my grandpa showed him. Easily drop a small animal with a marble. I believe this dart may drop a deer
His is really good. I was literally just praying today before I watched this about what to do with someone in my home group who keeps swearing. Prayer answered!!
Another version of this is the "l" shape base with one rubber band, which i think is more safer to use than the "Y" shape base with two bands. And it's also much easier to hide under ur shirt😅
Just imagine if we had darts like that for the wrist Rockets we used to have as kids back in the 70s and early 80s. Talk about deadly does wrist Rockets were no joke we used to use ball bearings are Pachinko balls for ammunition even those if you hit someone in the head could kill a man most definitely shatter their skull😮
WE USED TO MAKE THOSE DART SLINGSHOTS BACK WHEN I WAS A CHILD. TO HUNT RATS BY THE OUTSKIRTS OF MY HOMETOWN IN MEXICO. BUT THE ARROW/DART WAS MADE OUT OF A SHARP THICK PIECE OF WIRE AND A STRAW SECURED WITH A RUBBER BAND. ... BASIC DESIGN AND JUST AS EFFECTIVE .. CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.
He is using the wrong sling shot to shoot the darts. In the Philippines, we used a different kind of sling shot to shoot this kind of darts. Those sling shot have less probability that the barbs will hit you and it has more power to launch the dart compre in the video. Our darts we used have deeper barbs and it has always more than one barbs so that it will be very difficult to pull out if you shot a person.
I dont really know what it would look like, but im a fan of the idea that Johns resurrection will be a fusion of ice and fire, just as he is. Maybe hell be wighted by the others and fire magic will restore his mind or something to that effect.
