You got to train an actor? That's insane. Hollywood needs to get more people like you, people like Sellswordsarts and more who actually study the stuff and practice and know what they're doing so they can get more realistic and good choreography. I'm super excited to see what it is.
shot in the dark here... was it for Gladiator 2???? Also slingers were kinda the first internet trolls. in museums you can find crafted sling ammunition and they'll have funny jabs etched into them. a common one was "catch this!" but in greek of course.
Perhaps you could try this with lead fishing weights, they come in fairly heavy sizes, and the weight is more concentrated. The Romans used lead sling projectiles.
Yes indeed. I am working to that, I have found some good lead fishing weights. I am also trying to make a good “Catch” so I don’t lose them. Don’t want a bunch of lead Littering the back
was hilarious how you broke pieces off the compromised side while hitting the solid side with grond. clearly archer was necessary to truly break that shield.
Having used polycarb shields professionally for much of my career prior to retirement, I can tell you that they're really good but I wasn't surprised by any of the results so far including the sling. However I've stopped the video halfway through, between the test on the top and bottom of the shield to make a prediction. I predict that the sling will destroy the undamaged side of the shield as much as the damaged side. I've taken massive impacts from light, fast moving projectiles and slow heavy projectiles without problems, but combine mass and velocity and I reckon the polycarb will smash to bits. 😁,................. Ok coming back after watching I'm surprised by how well it did and happy that something we've used for protection for many years can still exceed my expectations. 😁😁
Thanks for your feedback, man it was fun to kind of read your comment and see how the video developed. Glad you enjoyed it and yeah, that’s some serious tough stuff.

I guess you could say that slingersam was slung into Hollywood, and now he thinks he is a rock star who went from shepherd boy to king faster than David. Now that he is back, he has to get back into the swing of things, but don't worry, that shield has enough flex in it to shake out slingersams ego and drop him back down to earth faster than a stone can fall or Goliath for that matter.
Indeed you have. Also, thanks for never changing your profile picture. It makes it easier for me to recognize the people who have stuck around. It’s been tons of fun for sure.
I'm guessing that had the mace had straight flanges the effect might have been quite a bit different. Even then, it made the shield flex so much the top broke. Whatever, I suspect the optimum primary weapon against a line of riot shields might be morning-star flails, to whip over the top of the shields. Or, something like a gladius to get between them. Heavy warbow, with bodkin head arrows, would give them some issues, too.
What you need for Grond is a oxy-acetylene touch and a l bit of hammer work. it shouldn't be to complicated if you can find someone with the tools. if you are in a farming region (it looks that way) there is a decent chance a neighbor would have the tools necessary as oxy-acetylene touches are often used to work on farm implements so you might not need a blacksmith. Looking closer you may be able to bend the spikes back with a good vice instead of a hammer. (again a farmer with a small work shop should have this)
Your videos are awesome! And I even like the name Dash Rendar. The only scoundrel to give Han Solo a good run for his money as far as attitude. Favorite line from the comic book is “my name is guy with a blaster about to cook you”.
Thank you my friend! So glad you enjoy them and yes Dash is really one the coolest most mercenary characters in the EU if they would have made him the star in “outlaws” I would have bought it regardless of all the gameplay issues 😂
🎼🎵You sling me right round, baby right round, like a pebble baby, right round round round!🎼🎵 That great video! I'm impressed how well that shield held up against the arrows and the sling stones. I wonder how well it would hold up to lead sling bullets. I think lead sling bullets would be fairly easy to make. Lead would be pretty easy to get, either fishing weights or lead for casting bullets. You could probably get some .50 to .75 cal bullets for black powder rifles. That'd be interesting to test.
Hahahaha yeah I was shocked as well when I purchased it I didn’t think it would do too much. I had no experience with that material in general and boy. It did really well.. I really wanna see how it does with like spears and other thrusting type weapons
Great video! You should really think of wearing safety glasses (and maybe something around the neck) when smashing things with Grond. Ricochet from debris is a serious danger.
If i were you I'd apply at Harlequin. Pb aka lead was used by slingers. Denser than Gains. Smaller than rocks, about 1/2 fist sized, may have better luck. Great vid! Thanks!
Yes, I’ve been wanting to do bread for a long time, but the only concern is just having it laying around my yard. Sling rocks get lost pretty easily and I don’t want a bunch of lead sitting out there.
@@dashrendar5320 after you cast your shot, paint it orange so you can see it! Is definitely different from the rocks and can be identified by the shiny parts. Witness marks from speedy contact tend to polished areas on your ammo. I bet a walk down the road would yield a few wheel weights and your boys would love the scavenger hunt! A fire and a cast iron pan would enable you to make it any size and shape you want.
With my sling the piece of cloth was coming too loose, so I took another piece of cloth, put it on the other side, and sewn it together. For those of you who don't know a sling that is made right the first time is just a piece of string, it only needs that patch if there is a flaw you need to hide, like waxing a statue that didn't come out perfect. Basically I tried to make a Baltriactic sling and instead made a shepherd's sling. The thing about riot gear is even in full riot gear and with riot shields the pull lice still get injured by people throwing stones, sometimes to the point of requiring hospital treatment. But keep in mind, the people who try to solve their problems with violence now a days are usually stupid and didn't even train. Seriously, imagine if they trained, AND thought to use a piece of string to throw harder. Well we are here to find out.
The impact of the Balearic sling was brutal, it may not have penetrated the shield but I'd hate to imagine the result of that kind of shock on the arm behind it.
Want to add a curve to that? Heat gun, something with a nice curve, and ratchet straps. ... Maybe. Dunno how it will work with that thickness, but it works wonders on wood.
@@dashrendar5320 Ooo, that'd be tricky. Not enough, and nothing happens. Too much, and you'd turn it to a blackened mess. At least with wood you use moisture, or make your own plywood... I can't think of anything that doesn't require an oven to heat it evenly. But then you'd be getting into 'dangerous' territory with melting plastic fumes. Maybe look into getting some Delren? delran? ... durable plastic, usually white, and used on conveyor lines between belts. more susceptible to heat.
I don't personally like the background blur filter. Demolition ranch bought a 5,000$ camera the one year to add depth of field and we all hated it. He went back to his 900$ Sony RX100 Mk5, which has the deep death of field, making the background and foreground always in focus. (We preferred that.) You do you though man, if you want the shallow death of field and don't have the money for a good Cannon 90D, no worries man! You do you! I'm just a random person online! :D I love your content though!!!
Thank you. Yeah, I’ve been messing around a little bit with the different options. I don’t know if I truly like it either but just something that I’ve been fiddling with in the videos. I appreciate the feedback as I am just still trying to figure this out.
I can't wait for Dash to collab with Taufledermaus. Basically they can "load" him with different shaped rock ammunition to see which is the most effective.
The thing is the slingers the romans used were so expert, their ability to eat etc relied on this skill since they were about 10. So a stationary man with ANY part of himself was in danger of getting hit by a lead ball in a lethal spot, eye etc.
Maybe get a heavy gauge sprocket from a farm store. Sling it like a hand launched clay bird. Or get a ball hitch off your truck. Or a broken off PTO shaft?
I wonder if there was less flexibility if it would make the plexi less durable. The police ones have the metal frames and don't seem to really flex much. Wouldn't transfer as much energy and therefore concentrate the force to a smaller area. Great video though and those slings.....no wonder they dominated for so long. They put out a lot of energy and would not enjoy being behind that shield with dozens of those stones slamming into it from a group of sling throwers.
One thing that might be playing a factor: you’ve got the right thickness, but I think the lack of curve might actually be working in the shield’s favor. Every riot shield I ever used had a pretty pronounced curve to give it more rigidity. The shield loses some of that flex that helps absorb impact in exchange for not folding when a protestor the size of The Mountain from GoT takes personal offense to your existence. Which, honestly, is fair. Shoulder checks are usually a greater threat than shepherds with slings. With that in mind, I suspect a more conventional shield would have more trouble.
They should hire you for the movie, like they did R. Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket, when he was hired to be the consultant. You kinda have 'the look.' :)
Cold formed polycarbonate shields have been used for decades by demining charities around the world. While they are of little use for anti-tank mines, they provide a fair measure of protection against many types of anti-personnel mines. The theory being that working behind one, suitably angled, the deminer may lose a hand, but has a good chance of surviving the blast and fragmentation.
You can try will stelter he's a youtube who would probably love to work on your weapon Or just grab a cheap anvil and wooden mallet and a blowtorch and you could give it a whirl as well it's super easy and fun I think it should be a fundamental skill to do rough maintenance on your weaponry whether blade rope or firearm
@dashrendar5320 if your worried about your kids or maybe animals you could try and induction coil heater I believe they are more expensive but use electromagnetic stuff to heat the metals but if you touch it on accident you won't be hurt quite as bad or if at all
Yes, that is one thing still wanting to do. I just don’t wanna have a bunch of it sitting around in my backyard so I need to figure out a way to make sure I don’t lose it.
200 gram lead is where I’d put the best chance of cracking it. And a slimmer sling. That long sling is like fricking sail rope. Long , thin sling with 200-250g lead .
Man that longer sling with the bigger rocks are going to hurt the guys arm holding that, I wonder if it could even break their arm, there is just so much energy transfer.

Wow I'm slinging mf and just got into archery and htf do you pay for all those arrangements ha arrows I think I just answer my own question
that is not how you throw a rock bro,,,,, I dont know how to explain this,,, can not find a video about it,,,,
goat shepards, use a large flat stone, kind of like skiping in the sea,,,,
and you throw from the "HIP",,,, with the arm low at the hip,,, and you twist your body,,,, like with the sling,,, but with arm at the hip,,,
if that makes sence??? instead of over the shoulder,, below the shoulder...... wink wink. stay savage.
like minute 8,, just like that,, but without the sling,,,, and with a flat rock.
His form looks appropriate for Greek slingers. I disagree.
@@Ranstone I was not refering to using the sling,, but bearhand,,,,, so,, i am talking about trhowing a rock with your hands,,, sherpard style.... his sling use is very good,,,,,, now use the same tecnic from the sling,, and use ssame tecnick to trhow with just the hand
I hate to sound like a dick head , but we have guns that are really effective against modern armor. I know that the old stuff is great but it just doesn’t cut the mustard.
Hahaha indeed. However I have always loved the old stuff and it’s fun just to see what it can do or how it can stack up
you tube is a hobby not a job
Obviously haha
