Hello I build slingshots

[Slingshotboy]

Hello im tom and im 12. I build slingshots that are extremely powerful. Alot of you may think of a slingshot as a little boy toy that cant do much more then break a window. But slingshots are extremely powerful. The ones for hunting produce around 100-150 joules of energy. Those ones have around 50 to 75 pound draw weight. Enough to kill game like deer and send a ball bearing completely through an armadillo. Heres some of my slingshot videos.

not sure what to make of this......

Send a ball bearing completely through an armadillo? That is a video I would like to see.

He got nailed.Beats the hell out of pitch forks and sticks.

One sometimes wonders if one is being trolled.

One sometimes wonders if one is being trolled.

That's my assumption until proven differently.

 

[Slingshotboy]

Yeah. With around 150 joules of energy it is easy to send a lead ball through it.

 

[ninja man]

i thought joules was an electrical term.

ITS A TERMS FOR AMOUNT OF ENERGY

I BEET HIS RECORD A FEW MONTHS BACK WITH SOME HIGH SPEED TUBES BY ABOUT 5 JOULES. tHEN SOME GUY JUST BEET ME BY 22.3 JOULES 2 WEEKS AGO.

i thought joules was an electrical term.

I googled it for the conversion rate. 1 joule = about .7377 foot/lbs, so 150 joules is around 110 ft/lbs. A bit less than a 38 grain .22lr projectile moving 1260 fps (134 ft/lbs).

ok, well i guess i learned something new. i always thought in terms of electricity. guess i could have google searched it as well, but im too lazy. haha

A projectile moving at around 200 fps with around the same amount of joules will cause allot more damage :yuno: duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Probably enough joules there to bring down a small flying aircraft..some serious ball bearings.

I'm a bit rusty on the whole slingshot terminal ballistics thing you have going on.

Got a link to any verified tests?

 

[Slingshotboy]

iLE DO SAME TESTS LATER AND POST THE LINK

 

[Concealed 27]

Would like to see so post away......

 

[Slingshotboy]

Well tests coming soon but here is some logic. A 22 round withholding 130 joules of energy has the same amount of penetration power as a 30mm steel ball with the same amount of energy. But it would cause more damage than a 22 because it has more surface area. Causeing more 6x more damage then a 22 because a 22 bullet is 5mm.
