Its just amazing how far Jörg has brought this magazine-repeating crossbows...in just a few years he revolutionized the entire market basically on his own.
The thing is that Joerg is not the inventor of this technology. The Chinese did it, approximately one thousand years ago. Then, the Dutch imported it in Europe, and adapted on it, during the Dutch Independence War, against the Spanish, then, they adapted on it the Anthony van Leuwenhook' s innovation : the scope. Which wasn't possible on the Musket. With this technology, they targeted, first the French officers, then the Prussian ones, in 1775,during the Frederick the Great ' s invasion. Then, after two centuries, came Joerg, which perfected it, combining all the new technologies in one product.
@@razvannicola5197 Well saying that the Chinese invented the technology is like saying that Da Vinci invented the plane. Thats of course an exaggerated example...I just want to say that the Chokonu is only the basis of Jörgs work. All the various magazine-crossbows and even the Instant Legolas are miles ahead of this old original technology. Still you are of course correct that the general concept is not Jörgs invention.
What's amazing is that all his ingenuity is going to circumvent nonsense laws that prevent self defense with modern technology, and even the dumbest American can have access to a weapon that makes the repeating crossbow look like a child's toy
yeah, like how pump shotguns work. kinda awkward with that outward lever - but yeah i guess im in no position to give comments since it's joerg HA HA HA HA
Those still wanting the Mini Adder v2 STLs should have a look at the newest package for the Adderini over at Cults3d. It includes the Mini Adder v2 files now.
Really interesting new development. 3D Printing really delivers serious power to creators. I was wondering if it does not make sense to have a two slot magazine on that one (10 or 11 bolts)?
the knife at the end looks like a good idea for a multi purpose cutter such as wanting to make a cut at a certain depth without cutting to deep. it could also be good for the purpose he displayed. Also like the crossbow for a home defense option that doesn't have too much over penetration and won't wake up the neighbors, nor will it make the mess a gun usually makes even with subsonic ammo and a suppressor

It would be even better if the blade was marked with the depth, with a ruler-like markings, don't you think?
@ true, but as is, its good for situations where you know the depth you need to cut but you don't know the exact measurement for the said markings. we can't always have every luxury with every tool in existence
Won't wake up the neighbors? so, you are going to shoot an intruder and go back to bed 😉? would you call the police? besides, if there is an intruder in my house, I want my neighbors aware!
yes I would @@toboraton. Kind of, I would throw their carcass into a trash bag, then throw said trash bag in the dumpster; then I would go back to bed. you can allow every criminal to do all they want in your home along with hurt themselves, then sue you for it, all you want; your home isn't my home, I don't have to adhere to your rules of your home in my home.
If you had a book with diagrams on how to understand the mechanics and physics of bows, and maybe some simple DIY examples, that sounds like something that could sell very well, and I would be interested in.
Absolutely great model and demonstration. Would be super interested if you or a partner goes for some quality production and provide a complete package with strings, arrows and a transport bag :)
Those Arrow blades oh my God those things are deadly as hell!. Anybody that does barbering knows how deadly razor blades can be!.😮 You definitely do not want to get caught by arrows like that!.😮 what a well made bow!.👍
Just printed my first plate with the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon and despite the more demanding material (ASA) the slicer showed me 32 hours of printing time in the best quality regarding strenght (0.15 mm layerheight) for the hole project. 550 g total without the arm-rest btw. Jörg, if you are put off by the complexity of 3D-printing I suggest you to buy the Bambu Lab. It's such an idiot-proof printer, it's basically clicking slice and print. Just pick the right material in the options and learn to adjust a couple of print-options (
@JoergSprave: Material wise this was then printed in PLA. PETG is already much better, and if you have the proper setup (ventilation is needed) you could also go for ASA / ABS. regarding the weight, this could be improved by designing the print to include metal-parts (essentially the printing instructions tell your printer to stop at a certain height, then you put in some counter-weights, then resume the print, the weight will then be inside into your print - I use this technique to include neodym-magnets in my prints). additionaly, the "infill" is an important aspect of 3d-prints - especially with plastics its not always better to have a 100% solid structure, as a 40% (instead solid for examples tiney honecombs) give your print a lot of more stress-endurance and flexibility (eg it doesnt break).
Make it bigger for a more power . Then attach a powerful electric motor on a chain . The chain has 2 cocking mechanisms opposite each other . There is a quick release when the bow string is fully back . I see a 30 arrow magazine empty quite quickly. Let me show you it's features ha ha ha .
Imagine creating such a revolution in self defense technologies that makes it possible to effectively use a weapon invented 10.000 years before Christ (the bow) as a reasonably deadly tool against modern criminals.
12:11 Wow, it even incorporates a forced reset trigger (FRT), in the US they are trying to ban those for people that can't afford excessive bribes (same as if you wanted that vertical grip on a pistol, also requires bribes or 10 year prison sentence). Also interesting that you mentioned firing a warning shot, in the US you'll get in massive legal trouble if you do so (they will argue if you had time to fire a warning shot, it wasn't an emergency) so most US lawyers say to aim for lethal immediately (injured attackers will sue as if they are a victim for breaking into your home). I also think that knife being double edged is illegal where I'm at in the US, but its nice for utility since it takes twice as long to dull.
Will this be in production anytime soon somewhere. I like big Adder and almost pulled the trigger but lil adder is more practical for indoor self defense . Keep vids coming, your the man...
The problem of poor stability and torsional rigidity arises from the technology used here to print the crossbow gun (FDM). If the gun is printed using the SLS process, professionally, on a corresponding system made of PA 12, PACA or metal, the result is incomparably better.
It's all about price to performance. Being able to print this out at home is what's so great about this. I bet adjusting the infill percentage and especially the outer perimeters will do wonders for this design. Of course using stronger filaments like PC or PA instead of PLA will also make it much sturdier, though way harder to print and more expensive.
I printed the black ASA filament. Infill 40-80%, 6 perimeters. I shot 100-120 times. Not a single jam, nothing broke. I just changed the collimator mount to make it stationary.
I can't help but envision the folding stock folding UP and becoming an additional part of the scope but it giving an even sharper more accurate image. Thus, an even tinier footprint with more use.
Hmmmm I wonder if there any some sort of "Secret Service Agency" ever got in touch with him and ask him to build a silent weaponry for them. The weapon that he made is deadly AF. For real
Getting better all the time! I think a mechanical improvement can be made to prevent the index finger from getting pinched by the trigger on reloading with an engagement latch of sorts. Ouchies! The ergonomics of the reloading action could also be improved since it relies mostly on wrist rotation (weak) and elbow movement, but using something akin to the Winchester under-lever approach would allow the shoulder to also help power that movement, while the wrist can remain rigid. I would still advocate something to wrap the fingers around as in the present design, since using the back of your hand to reload becomes painful, as I have discovered with a real Winchester. Adding a palm rest to facilitate a pushing action from the shoulder and upper arm could also help ease the reloading operation.
What a great update to an already fantastic crossbow, hope to print my own someday. I was wondering though how the lever effect would be affected if that reload handle grip was angled more toward the rear so it runs parallel to the pistol trigger grip? Just because I feel it's a little awkward looking at right angles and would be more like holding a rifle barrel if it was angled back?
With how easy you make it look to reload, would it be safe to say that you could easily increase the poundage of the bow for more penetration and/or range?
Hey Joerg, I was thinking you add skin and a shirt to the ballistic gel but no muscle fiber you could make the gel test even more realistic by adding fiber to the gel mix, something like coconut husk or Hessian sacking to simulate muscle I could be wrong but I think would be stronger than the gel simulant alone and may change some of the past results. I love your Chanel and think your content is great thanks for the entertainment regards Guy
Could the Loading Mechanism of a Crossbow not triggerd by some pneumatic/co2/gas system? So you only have to pull the Trigger twice to load automaticly and then shoot? Thats always something thats come into my mind
Nanu, .STL Files wieder weg? Gab es nicht auch ein deutsches Video dazu? Sehr interessantes Teil, hoffe auf kommerzielle Version a la Stinger II oder Vlad
@@discopolofan hi Lukasz. Sorry. I do Not want to repudiate you or faramir. I Like your designs and I hope your designs will be succesful in the future. I and others only wonderd why it was deleted. Regards
Why have the thing whipping and slapping in the handle of the xbow when you have a perfect forward grip it would make it much lighter if you take that off I'm afraid it hit my hand or get my finger smashed plus it's a loud noise not that good for hunting and could give away your position in a self-defense situation I would also add some small silicon pieces to all the plastic that rub and clack together to make make it whisper quiet. Beautiful design though.
I can see that becoming an all time best seller . Not everyone has a 3D printer or the desire to use one , they would rather just pay for an 'Off The Rack' ready to go solution . Well done !
I definitely want one. Even if someone just sells me the kit to put it together myself I'd buy it if they sent me all the parts. It's such an easy buy and such a cool bow.
