First darts now slingshots.
This is escalating.
Julie, are you alright?
Lol.
Can we get a review where you test this?
James, do you sense some internal hostility 😉 I can’t test it, I don’t think we have zombies where I live – yet.
More like overt aggression.
As a child growing up in Uganda, kids I knew would go from using car and bicycle inner tubes to using surgical tubes.
A friend of mine killed a crow and was so traumatised he swore off catapults forever.
They can be dangerous.
The price though is atrocious thank goodness.
Aiming for animals (or any living thing) with a slingshot should make someone feel traumatized if they aren’t using the slingshot for hunting purposes. I can see using it for target practice or for killing zombies (not a living thing).
Tons of fun can be had when shooting cheap canned soda. Tons.
compound catapults…whodathunkit?
as an old person who grew up in a diy universe. I admire the ingenuity put forward here.
however the weak link (surgical tubing) is still present
I have more than a few friends with extra divots in their heads after a tube let go at full draw
with your connections to the tech world perhaps you could push for a more durable propulsion mediam
medium not mediam…sorry
wrist rockets, marbles and concrete walls on bright sunny days were spectacular…by the bye
Craig, I wonder if the same type of tubing is used for exercise resistance bands.
Wikipedia says that surgical tubing was the original rehab tool
apparently there are a wide variety of color coded tubes available now
what we found as kids was the tubing oxidized quickly and the abrasion at the knot caused catastrophic fails…however that was latex tubing most tubes now are latex-free
we did make slingshots using the tubing
we also replaced the tubes on the original whamo wrist rocket with heavier tubing when we could get it
we also made arrow projectors from pipes and tubes to shoot real arrows…pretty impressive for what it was if not consistently accurate
but to the injury part of the post…we would use the tubes way past their utility because it was so hard to get
when a tube let go the projectile or tube and pouch or both would whip about and bleeding would ensue
