When I was 11 I made a thing like this. It shot shotgun shells. Before I triggered it the first time, a voice in my head said, "Don't do it". Terrified, I took the things apart and disposed of it. I'm 80 now, and I heard that voice only one other time, about 30 years later.
@@ManannanmacLir69 I was born in Detroit, was plinking with my .22 at ten and grew up enjoying guns so I get ya, but ... my reality is that I find that living in a culture with far fewer guns gives me more freedom, not less.
When I met my wife she had a Spanish guitar with a neck that was broken loose from the body. Since I had two perfectly fine specimen myself I decided to give it a go with superglue, removed the strings and glued it together. Then added the strings and put the guitar in our crewroom at work for anybody to use it. That was 12 years ago now and it is still solid as a rock. Being a technician I see what our crew wrecks on a daily basis and I do trust superglue on wood 100%!!
@@davidmccann2633No, you really just want to anchor it, you can't really glue a magnet with cyanoacrylate, it does not have tixotrophic properties on such a material.
I am truly blown away! To be completely honest, I NEVER leave comments.....AT ALL......ANYWHERE. Seriously. This video totally captured not only my attention, but also, it's EXTREMELY incredible. I really miss building things and to actually be as creative as you are, to build a self defense weapon is the best thing since time. I love it!!! This friggin' video has gotten me inspired to want to build things and anything again. OF COURSE, I'll be building this weapon FIRST!!! :) Thank you, most talented person of building that I've met in forever. Much appreciated!!!
Criticism makes you better. It makes you realize your mistakes and how to improve them. The problem is that people are so thin-skinned now that any criticism is taken as "verbal abuse."
I like the selection of hardwoods, with the contrasting Dark wood - - Probably Walnut with the lighter wood, Probably Oak Grips, and either Maple or Alder inner pieces. In any case -- The firepower of this is Deadly, and given some Properly placed felt 'Stoppers' at the front, it would be darn near silent. Annnnnd the kicker is... Easily Made, Projectiles are unlimited with your imagination, and everything in it is not yet outlawed! Bravo. bet this would take out a low hanging drone... Jus' Sayin... Carry on!
Use your limited brain power and create your own template from the concept. Clearly you have zero engineering skills and even less talent. Stick with what you know and stop being mentally lazy. Besides which - better to stay OUT of trouble - than build devices that will ensure you are imprisoned for being in possession of an offensive weapon - imprisonment would for a very long term should you cause grievous bodily harm - even in a self0defense situation - use of excessive force can lead to a prison sentence - So don't be STUPID
Cool, the only thing is that you should cut small metal tubings to protect the elastic from those 2 front agressive screws that are holding the elastic in place.
Personally, I'd have just used 2 Chicago screws. If you joined them together on the top of the barrel with a little bridge piece of metal, you could even have them double as a front sight for the gun as well. Then it's just as easy as unscrewing the underbarrel side of the screws & lifting both posts out as a whole unit by the front sight.
I had a lovely wooden desk with a wooden door. Somehow someone broke the door. Well, it was amazing how a colleague fixed it. Skills. In the past there were so many more we have lost.

Great video and great slingshot pistol! My son is into archery and likes to build things. He'll love your channel. Very inspiring. I agree with the conenters that would like to see a part list or plans. Keep up the great work!
-I'm old now but when I was small in the early 60s some teenagers, some who were in streetgangs then made Zip Guns. I think they started making them in the 1930s up to the 50s to early 60s. They'd sneak & make 'em in wood or metal shop in school. Some guys did pretty good, some were shitty, but with a homemade wood pistol grip, rubber bands, a nail, old car antennas shortened up & a .22 bullet, you could wound somebody & at worst kill 'em. & if the job was crap the gun might either blow up or fall apart in your hands. But this here is a nice nail gun job.
Exactly what I was thinking! I will end up just guessing, but it would be nice to have some specs. Like what did he use/where did he getting the bands for the stored tension? That's all I really need. Saving the video to a "Projects" folder.
Who says the background is nice must start again, from the kindergarten era, learning what music is ! That one is a mere shit computer sound repetition. 🤮🤮🤮 On the contrary, the vid content is interesting👍, at least's been made by human skills 👏
I know, right? What immensely brilliant music! I couldn't stop dancing. It was so incredible. I bet it won a Grammy. My grandmother didn't agree though. She didn't like the music at all. Probably because she had diarrhea, again.
The music sounds like a rip-off of August 10 by Khruangbin, made just different enough to get past the copyright detector. Seriously, have a listen and you'll see what I mean.
Unfortunately be classified as a firearm in Australia with a prison sentence if caught. Government love legislating more laws at the drop of a hat. Thanks for sharing, i'm going to make one, lol.
If you have an issue in your federal or state background check that keeps you from obtaining a legal firearm , this may give you peace of mind. Also remember that the political left wants you to smoke pot but they want to take away our guns. Those that are capable will invent what is necessary.
What positions the BB, ball or maybe a ball in front of the launch tang? What keeps it from falling out of the front? Nice video, pretty wood and well done though!
Видео интересное, детство начала 70х вспомнил. Когда его смотрел, в Настройки поставил скорость 2. The video is interesting, it reminds me of my childhood in the early 70s. When I watched it, I set the speed to 2 in Settings.
🙃Ага! В этом Видео как раз Интересен Клей: берёт и Дерево и Дерево, Металл с Деревом! 😁Раньше был такой - Н-88! А сейчас? И кстати Тов. работает с этим клеем без перчаток и клей не берёт пальцы! Возможно склейка монтажа?😁🤣🙃
