Everyone’s favorite vaguely Eastern European slingshot enthusiast is back again to endanger both himself and the people he loves. Except this time, Joerg is flinging ice—because winter is coming.

Joerg Sprave is a creative guy. He’s also an ambitious one. That’s why, when his YouTube viewers doubted that his slingshot rifles were actually rifles—after all, they’re slingshots—he set out to prove them wrong with a big piece of sewage tube.

Not satisfied with the dart-launching pistol

The thing I appreciate about The Slingshot Channel is that it always brings projects two or three iterations past what I would ever think to pursue. The pencil shooter Joerg made last week was more of a curiosity. Not the most deadly thing we’ve seen by a long shot. See what I did there?

I wouldn’t say using pencils as zombie-killing projectiles would be my first thought, but if you do enough slingshot-ing I guess it makes sense that you would eventually run up against office supplies as a source of inspiration. Joerg updates his pencil shooter to be crank operated and more efficient. It can shoot two pencils at a time for a total of 16 in one magazine. And Joerg sees potential for use with a power drill instead of "muscle operated action" aka humans. Leave the pencil shooter going while you run away from the zombies. Solid plan.

There’s no governing body proclaiming this the world’s smallest crossbow, but it’s only slightly larger than a full-sized crossbow arrow so it’s got to be up there. Joerg designed this crossbow to be safe. The arrow is fully encapsulated so it won’t accidentally shoot off in an unexpected direction. You cock the crossbow with strong rubber and it’s the right length for the tip to stick out. That way the crossbow can accommodate all different broadheads and unload safely. It’s 1.5 lbs without an arrow in it. And Joerg gives it the Slingshot Channel seal of approval: "Ideal as a backup crossbow!" Okay, you heard the man.

As Joerg points out, toilet brushes tipped with nine inch nails are a much-beloved form of ammo on the Slingshot Channel. But the old toilet brush crossbows

What’s a casual way to start a video? How about a fun little opening introducing what you’re going to do or make. You could say something like, "Arrows are normally a good way to pierce a skull, but I’m concerned that [they] may not destroy enough brain matter." Light hearted fun!

Not only has he laid claim to the title of world’s greatest slingshot designer, Joerg Sprave is also a master of turning seemingly innocuous everyday items into frighteningly deadly weapons.

This week Joerg invited some students from the Technical University of Munich to create general mayhem with him via a steel axe. But an axe by itself isn’t menacing/relevant enough. It obviously has to double as a slingshot. And it does! The handle of the axe is hollow . . .
