I think that’s his whole idea. My sister actually works as a production manager in Hollywood- next time I talk to her I’ll ask her about the pool of people that work as consultants like that.
Well, the very misconception of your remark is in your completely opposite directed thinking. Hellyhood movie makers have no interest to develop viewers brain, logic or common sense, especially with those zombie scenarios brainwash stuff.
@@chronosyndrome4095 And it’s a whole other story, like comparing chinese food with german bratwurst. You can classify both as food, but they are vastly different.
Yeah this is totally badass, and the fact that the hook stock has a real legit function and looks totally post-apocalyptic... and the spike. I really don't see how anyone could nail this whole concept harder than you did. It's perfect.
I do not agree ...our beloved joerg has fallen into the Hollywood trap . No the spike will get you killed trying to get it out of a zombie head and the cord wrap would only trap the blood and mess to rot and stink increasing your chances of getting a sever infection from the mass of bacteria in the cord wrap your carrying everywhere and injuries happen regularly in the show and likely in real life
Dude this thing is freakin sweet. You should honestly be in a movie. Maybe as the weapons expert who makes apocalypse weapons in exchange for supplies or something. Or maybe at least a cameo in a videogame. That would also be pretty rad.
Reminder that Jeorg still considers this as a 'small project', which means, if he gets serious, he could wipe out armies of zombies. Also, love this design, as always. Hope your leg gets better soon.
hmmn , serious , you are talking a geo stationary satelite, with selectable ,mass clouds ,of , hot hail , ice spears ,or just redhot fire arrows ,possibly auto self reloading .
Looks great! Perhaps the spike should have a crossguard to keep the zombies at bay once they are impaled. Also that would prevent the spike from getting too deep imbedded and stuck.
I had the same thought. Zombies are the kind of thing that would absolutely run themselves up the spear to bite you if they could. If mounted right, it might also give a bit of incidental protection to the limbs of the bow.
The "claw" Joerg can also be used to say hold a zombie in place for your team mate to stab. like a crook stick for shepherds...This is a perfect zombie killer!!
My mind immediately went to "what about the string?" but you got that covered in the simplest way possible. Even if you couldn't find yarn you would have plenty of fabric to unravel, enough to last a lifetime. Finally, a "claw stock" that is actually indispensable to the overall design instead of being there for looks. Nobody but you could have done it, Joerg. It perfectly fits the Apocalyptic look.
He also has a magazine system for a BOW. Called the "Instant Legolas", you should check it out, it is pretty incredible. Many other channels have worked with Jeorg and made other videos about his inventions, Todd's Workshop even did a detailed build and evaluation of the instant Legolas using only medieval materials and construction techniques to see if it would have been possible (it was)
Things to add off the top of my head: - A place to store more arrows/magazines besides the 18 rounds - arrow alternatives that will fit in the magazine - easier ways to make the weapon single shot in a pinch (field strip) - make it as lightweight as possible because it’s most likely heavier than a normal adder, and when patrolling you do not want to get tired quicker because of wielding a heavy weapon. Every gram counts.
Let me show you it's features is back! Thank goodness, I need that in my life.. what a bad-ass crossbow you've made! Glad you're feeling better, Joerg.
Nice, I'd like to see how your wooden sights compared to the original reddot. Even just from sitting. It would also be pretty funny if the front spike could flip down to use as a monopod
Jeorg that is awesome I know what I want for my birthday Christmas present. You did ask for any improvements. I saw one flaw, when you use the spike you should not have to use your hand to pull it off. You're dealing with zombies you don't want to get infected or bitten. This will probably drive you nuts. Could you put some kind of piston around the spike so when you caulk the lever it pushes out removing any zombie skulls off the spike simultaneously caulking the weapon.
Very well thought out modifications! Even the spike seems well planned, mounted robustly with a taper that makes it easy for penetration yet thick enough to withstand manipulation if it gets stuck.
Hello there Jörg! Would it make sense to extend the charging handle further in this set up? I think that sholder rest really is a great idea, maybe you could even consider introducing it to the normal adder!
Joerg looks like he already barely reaches the full cocking point of the lever, making the lever longer would indeed put it out of anybody's reach if a giant like Joerg is at his limits with the normal length. There might be options to put an additional 90° bend at the end helping with full extension, but that would cost time and might end up finicky with needing to go past the body/shaft of the xbow...
Joerg you are an absolute genius and I simply marvel at your incredible designs and your engineering skills. Thank you for these amazing adventures you share with us. Take care and God Bless. 💝
Love the Harpoon Spike on the front I found them very necessary for when the undead decide to get up close n personal 😏 And if all else fails just swing the bloody thing 😁👏 Cheers🙏👍
So good! The wear out and paracord fits perfect to apocalyptic style. Also love the hook deactivation feature. Badass crosbow. I remember your old dowdwards bonecrusher spike : D The new is even better
I hope you are feeling better soon. Your designs and modifications are well thought out and practical. I'm saving up for an Adder. Congratulations on being monetized again.
I like your crossbow concept it allows the user options that a standard crossbow does not have. Even though the spike may not be as optimal like a spear, but it does give you the option when necessary when the zombies get a little close. I Never liked the bow they choose for that TV show he has limited ammo and it appears to be not as convenient to reset for the next shot. I think you should talk to the manufacturer about your modifications and see if they can make a model with your modifications. Your modifications would be a good thing even if you never see a zombie.
My only suggestion is your spike bayonet profile. As a person who has made his own projectiles I discovered (as you did as well) that a conical tip is harder to penetrat with. An angular tip(a pyramid instead of a cone) pierces far easier. An awesome weapon for sure either way.
Thank you for these ideas. It looks great. The materials are replaceable and should be available in a SHTF situation. The bolt capacity is great and the spike very functional in a zombie apocalypse. Any plans available on how to make it?
Absolutely badass! Looks like a prop straight from MadMax. All of a sudden Daryl's xbow seems so out of place ;) You should sell this version, I bet there will be demand :) One idea tho, the spike could be fold/retractable or as an attachemet so the whole thing can be shortened.
There is a balanced between functionality and durability. When it's foldable/retractable, then it's definitely not as durable or as solid. I would think people will value durability more in a post-apocalyptic settings.
The build is amazing 🤩. I love everything about it and the idea of having parts re-make-able. The wishbone stock could also be made into a slingshot 🤯🥰🤣. Thanks for all the Wunderbar videos.
Amazing as always. The are are 2 thoughts for improvement that come to mind: 1. Having blood groves in the spike. 2. Storage compartment in the stock, containing extra bolt tips and replacement bowstring. What do you think?
Blood grooves may be great, so it is not just effective against zombies, but possible bandits too (zombies probably don't bleed much). Storage compartment, I think maybe it's easier to have a few magazines in a quiver or backpack?
Looks great! But I would replace all the wooden parts for aluminum parts, especially the spiky shoulder stock so you also can swing it backwards. Just in case someone sneaks behind you 😄
One big problem with the Sting seems to be the "pulling out". Also in the Movies, this is how they often lose their knives and tools - because they are stuck in zombies. What about some kind of support on the upper moving part of the adder, that helps pulling out the Sting while using the reloading-function? If you would have to use the Sting in between some shots because of an instant-zombie from anywhere, you're completely staying in the flow. Adda feature!
Always very refreshing, when Joerg speaks of the zombie apocalyptic, he means our politicians who run around blindly and how Mrs. Baerbock, as a so-called avowed flight opponent enjoys flying in first class as foreign minister very well, na Anna, you radiate, as if you had caught a virus. Above the clouds ☁ can be so beautiful....
Your imagination is great. You impress me with all the ways that you come up with launching projectiles down range that do not require smokeless powder, a primer, lead, and a barrel. That crossbow needs to be in the movies.
I remember when you first started the crude wooden models. Finally, a perfected manufactured model and you still make improvements. Way to go, Joerg!!!
Something else people tend to forget with this subject is that a compound crossbow is a funking nightmare to replace the string on without special equipment so if it breaks when you're out you're done. A recurve limb you can often span by hand in a minute or two assuming you're in possession of a replacement string.
That's a badass looking Adder. I think I would add curved blades in front of the bow limbs, where the first bolt is. If two human enemies were coming at me close range from the side and behind, I could spin around, catching the side enemy in the throat with the side blade then get the enemy at my back, which I am now facing, with the pike or an arrow. Also, if someone swings a machete at you, you could block it with the blade.
Other than 2 lines of metal from front to back on the sides, so the brace and front spike are connected, meaning the middle part isn't taking the punch, it looks awesome.
Daryl Dixon are paying attention to this as this might save your life and surprised the studio that makes the walking dead series does not hire Jeorge as his designs are brilliant
You can also use that spike to stick your bow into the ground (when resting or something). And when horde of zombies are approaching, it's easy to pick it up and trigger and handle are immediately at your grasp.
8:30 super deadly for sure. But you don't wanna touch the zombies. The spike should be shorter or have a stopper so it doesn't penetrate that deeply and is easier to remove.
LOVE this take on what Darryl SHOULD be weilding! Also, I get really nostalgic for the heyday of the Zombie Squad message boards when you talk apocalyptic weaponry, Jorge! ZS:026 RIP Rich Inaker
