‘Slingshot Channel’ Guy Shows Off Once Secret Weapon That Slings Circular Saw Blades

We’ve seen “The Slingshot Channel” guy — more officially known as Joerg Sprave — make some crazy things weapons before. But right when you thought his homemade artillery couldn’t get anymore intense, he shows off one that he has kept secret for a while.

It’s a sophisticated thrower of circular saw blades.

Why was this “rotational saw blade shooter”, which Sprave compares to a traditional clay pigeon thrower that’s fired like a rifle, kept secret? Sprave said he designed for a television show and couldn’t publicly showcase it until now.

Although Sprave made some adjustments to account for the disc shape and spin of the ammo to improve accuracy, he said it is “in no ways a sniper rifle.”

The rational saw blade shooter doesn’t make its appearance in Sprave’s video until after he shows off a nail shooter, so skip to 2:46 if you only want to watch the circular blades fly:

    OK! THAT’S IT! BAN ALL RUBBER BANDS! Hey, you’ll shoot your eye out kid.

    This guy may benefit by means of chatting with a Transmission Mechanic. We ALL have our personally stone sharpened Clutch Disc’s (taken from an Auto Trans. Clutch Pack). Those suckers can be thrown straighter – farther – and with more velocity than any Ninja Star! Heck, a sharpened Clutch Disk from a Ford C7 Trans. can cut a mans head off! We’ll go in to shooting bearings with an air blower later (talk about skull penetration!). Oh, and the ever so humble – lacquer thinner through the paint gun, and a Bic lighter….. Hey. Whoops, almost forgot the mixing of Oxygen & Acetylene in a BIG “punch ball” balloon (filled with a hand full of BB’s), taping a length of toilet paper to it, then light the paper and RRUUNN! Shake the buildings..Jack..HEY!

    Fun to do. All the “Suits” are saying “wow, what a toothless wonder”. What I’m getting at is that there are many – MANY ways to hurt and kill. NOT just by the “evil 30 round Varmint rifle”. “Air can’t kill you” (said by a Lib). You wanna bet on that? All it takes to complete ANY mass killing, is a “deranged chemistry nerd”…like that guy at Sand…..oh…uhhh….guess what. Kinda looks like he put wayyy to much energy in to toting guns. All he had to do is make one stop at Walmart for some ammonia, ——-, and ——-.

    Banning “guns” is NOT the answer.

    Joerg is a genius, and im a huge fanboy. The engineering skills he has along with the sheer joy he always exhibits makes his youtube channel a must see. His laugh is infectious. He just loves building slingshot type weapons and it has nothing to do with violence.. I wish he was an American so we could claim him for our own.

    I cannot recommend his videos enough.

    I have created a new petition to make The Blaze the official website of The United States of America. Sign it at https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/make-blaze-official-website-united-states-america/qVz9Qqv4 I know every The Blaze fan wants President Obama to respond to this petition. It needs 25,000 signatures by February 11, 2013 so do not wait if interested.

      Mean no harm — and I ‘get it…’ — Me wonders what the computer-generated regurgitation algorithm parameters are for anyone using trustee/beneficiary capacity SSA issued license to WORK for a living is, and in what field(s?) What if ‘work’ is lawfully performed/compensated OUTSIDE the jurisdiction of generally accepted ‘practice’ without permission from Dad? {What are the ‘odds’ House(mates) of the “rich AND poor” will have imputed ‘income’ for the value of their ‘services’ – barter if you will – in the not so distant future to assist in shoring up “the Debt?”} Can ‘add’ any ‘list’ — the POINT is — turtles know a low profile is best. I like turtles. Hale v Henkel 201 U.S. 43 @ 89 sez it ain’t nobody’s business, gubmint or neighbor WHAT you do, so long as no trespass is done against the State — PERIOD. If they want to ‘ban’ supersize *pop* — that’s THEIR business… so long as it doesn’t infringe on MY RIGHT to do it anyway… see how that works? btw — trespass is defined as a crime, i.e. harm to PERSON (as opposed to human being) or PROPERTY of which the State owns… Some people are persons, thus ‘owned’ PROPERTY of the State. Knowledge and understanding are NOT the same thing. :-)

    I think there’s a good chance this guy will shoot his eye out someday. Other than that he has a gift for designing useless objects. Everyone knows you can go to Home Depot if you want a semiautomatic nail gun.

      I would certainly not call these two gadgets useless. You don’t need a license or permit and from what I saw, they both have the potential to stop a robbery or home invasion. Also, ammo is cheap and unrestricted. I’ll even bet you can hunt your next small meal with one as well.

    If you want real nail velocity, find a tube that fits the head of the nail perfectly, attach to air nozzle (after drilling restriction in valve first), make a wad for sealing purposes, load from breech, and wa hoo!!!! Much faster than an air nailer……

      A 4″ ridgid grinder spinning it up to 10,000 rpm with 120 psi air release would have been better.
