The "Novitzkenegger" Slingshot Challenge - Longest Crossbow in History?

- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- The "Butterfly" shooting style brings the power of slingshots into new dimensions.
With a "wingspan" of about 1,60 meters, Jörg Sprave can break the 60 ft/lbs (80 Joule) projectile energy that the US military considers as lethal for humans.
So what would happen if a guy with the arm span of Dirk Novitzki (2,30 meters) and the power of Arnold Schwarzenegger (in his days) could achieve with a forward extended slingshot, giving him a 3 meter draw?
To find that out, a new slingshot crossbow has been designed, with a total draw length of said 3 meters. A trigger based locking mechanism allows a normal person to cock and shoot like Novitzkenegger!
The results are quite impressive. 102 Joules, over 80 ft/lbs!
It is not so bad here, you can get a license. I own 34 legal firearms, amongst them a Desert Eagle and a semi auto HK MP5. But I can only use them at a range, never in my garden, and I don't have a license to make firearms. So slingshots rule!
Just when I think it couldn't get any better, faster, stronger; you come out with a new earth shaking sling. Thumbs Up!
Yes, that is true for most powerful weapons. That is the reason why you have to design and build them well. And handle them with care.
I loved this video. You are having a lot of fun with your imagination and inventions and are willing to try anything to see what happens. Don't stop.
Joerg, your videos are some of the best on youtube, I really enjoy watching them. Would love to see some more 'how to' stuff, and to see you actually making some of the slingshots. Keep up the great work. :)
Very impressive Jorge, as always!
Surely. A hit with the 19 mm lead ball at 270 km/h WILL stop any attacker. It would break bones and inflict a huge amount of pain.
Boxes are packed, will move on Monday. This was the very last video from the old yard.
Trees have feelings too.
this is what people do in countries where guns are banned. they just make ridiculous shit thats just as deadly buy still legal.
U will be in history books sometime ... I love you
Great video and very informative.
A portable 2 meter butterfly SS is a very achievable design using telescopic or folding sections.
You didn't seem to get a full butterfly draw in the video.
Had you used a 'stick' between the fork and your trigger release, it would be easy to aim and fire. Ratcheting is also an option.
If 2 Meters would produce 90 FPE it would be wunderbar!
Well done!! great achievement ! you should review the new hunter tournament pro and the new hunter bands! good luck!
Es esmu uzņēmējs, nevis tehniķis. Tas ir tikai hobijs!
@JoergSprave Ich bin gespannt auf dein neues Domizil...bzw den neuen Garten/Testgelände.
Alles Gute für den Umzug
@JoergSprave - Why not add more rubber making it a heavier pull and perhaps create a cocking lever?
o_O Holy crap! Now try to make that with not a rubber band, but with a very powerful spring underneath it, and attach steel cable to the spring, and attach wheels to the front, so that the steel cable can go around that. Just like a over/under type of deal.
OMGGGGG dude that was insane, I lauged histarically when I heard the name haha.... great work!
What is your actual armspan? I'm a 13 year old and my armspan is 1.7 metres. Are your arms short or are mine just long?
dude your awsome
Never thought of doing one that way. Love it. Definite possibilities.
Yo...Joerg......AKA......The Grimm Reaper...◕‿◕
@JoergSprave Ahhh, I see. I'll miss that poor tree you have done your best to kill with many a slingshot ball, lol.
I thought you moved? Your yard looks the same.
are you not scared of shooting the measuring device? lol
you should have fitted like 50kg of draw weight to it :)
u shoot way to large ammo with a normal slingshot it is best to just shoot the 9.5mm steel
@JoergSprave
Man, with the kinds of slingshots you make firearms become boring by comparison XD
KITTY! =D
Have one ever back fired and hit u
You're not strong enough? you aren't what I might call weak
how about rubber pull?
chinese slingshot dealer
lol he said cockable
O.o
