Modern Day Ballester: So Cool!

Hello and welcome to the Slingshot channel. You know, I love tactical repeating crossbows and I'm totally surprised by the outcome of the community that has formed around them. One of the best engineers involved is Kevin Killerman. He is German and he actually is. In practical crossbow shooting, he now masters challenges that I couldn't master before and this is his latest version of the product he calls the Sling Hammer. It's actually a

modern

puma snapper or balestra because it's a ball shot. He updated it. now to 12 millimeter steel balls and you can put a lot of them in the magazine and yes they rattle but I don't care it's a tactical crossbow it's not a silent sniper rifle and now it is I mean look at the quality , I mean the The quality of the 3D prints is amazing, it's much heavier than previous iterations, it's more solid, it doesn't creak, everything is fine, you have an adjustable stock, of course, AR-15 stock and you see that it added this really long barrel that's hexagonal.

I think he wanted to avoid a round barrel, although that is not really necessary, since according to the German definition of a crossbow, it is still a crossbow and therefore currently not yet regulated, you just have to be 18 years old. In any case, it has the bug has a repeater system under the lever, so you can easily fix it by pushing it all the way forward and then all the way back, but if you look closely, let me see if you can see this. You can actually see that the string isn't actually pressing down. the trigger but it is pressing against the ball therefore there is no free flight of the string before it hits the ball and this makes it possible for the string to not slide over or under the ball because that will always happen when you do. tried. to make powerful ball shooting crossbows, now this works absolutely great and I am totally in love with it.

It also has a lot of power. Now it's around 14 joules which means we've doubled it compared to the previous version and this is basically because using heavier balls, okay let's do one more try and yes you can absolutely repeat this quick way shouts the second down, so last time the eight millimeter steel ball from the previous version couldn't penetrate the can and this time you didn't just penetrate. the can, but it almost also almost fell out of the bag, which I think I prefer it that way since now I can reuse the ammo, just open the little door here and then place it as you see, I place the AR-16 throwing arm or 2 Pro which is actually spec'd at 90lbs but Kevin went for a shorter Power Stroke so this one only has 14 centimeters of Power Stroke while the Stinger has 15 and a half and that's why this is only achieves achieving only 14.

Joule and no more than 20 Joule like this thing or two, but Kevin already said that he wanted to increase the power stroke by another 4.3 centimeters or something and that will definitely put him over the 20 Jewel limit and this is now some serious competition for an airgun and I think it's one of the best 3D printed crossbows I've ever seen and of course living proof that banning crossbows is completely stupid since everything what you need is a 3D printer. One of the features that I love is that there is no built-in lock here, but there is a kind of ratchet here, so you can hear that when I close it it's almost the most normal force at the end of the lever action here and then it breaks .

Close and I love that this is a sense of precision in quality. I'm really in love with that feature. I can't stop doing that now, a lot of guys will say it's okay and then make you use a rifle barrel and buckshot or something. That's not a good idea because rifle barrels actually cause a lot of friction and the firearm has enough energy to overcome that friction, but in muscle-operated weapons you need all the energy you can get to transfer it into kinetic energy, so which you don't want and don't need because it's a round steel ball and they don't need to spin to be accurate.

Is this as accurate as an air gun can be? No, of course, it's not um,

modern

powerful PCP air guns are more. more accurate than this, but I think it is accurate enough, so tell me, can you buy this one? No, no, no, you can print it and I put the link to the STL files down there so you're careful. Kevin updates it constantly, so make sure. sure you have the latest version you have the version you want in any case uh I think he wants a few euros to download it but it's worth it the amount of energy and time that man invests in this design it's amazing and I'm completely I love it what what do you think of this iteration?

I think it looks absolutely great. I love it. I really love it. Let me know in the comments. Otherwise, that's all for today. Thank you and goodbye.
