Memeing aside, are slingshots actually usable? Can you take small game with one, like pigeons and rabbits? Wouldn't mind packing one in my SHTF LARP kit.
>Can you take small game with one, like pigeons and rabbits?
Absolutely. Though the learning curve is high.
Are there actually slingshots with as much energy as a .22(150J-250J)? sounds cool, but i can't see the mechanism to allow you to reach that energy. (unless it's just a fricking huge slingshot)
I'm sure what's being lost in translation here is that the slingshot has the same MOMENTUM as a .22, which is very different from "power" or "energy".

the main way bullets kill is from penetration through vascular areas, which causes bleeding
if the slingshot cannot penetrate the body it's unlikely that it would be lethal unless it hits something like the temple with an extreme amount of energy
because guns are cool
Slings are way more cool though
Before the bow was invented, there was rocks.
The sling actually outcompeted the bow until very late, and the best bows and the best slings were about even.
Not really
Do you know how to make it anon? It makes me /k/urious.
Because I already have a .22 and it's not some joerg sprave plywood mass rape device.
Because "power" doesnt mean works as well as. A baseball has more "power" than a .45 in a lot of ways but that doesnt mean its a better weapon.
can slingshot huck poop?
Yes, yes it can.
>Claims it hits like a .22lr
>Harmlessly bounces off a wolf
I think he might have just been moronic and the show even acknowledges that
Later she realizes that it was nouns cope.
*noguns
shieet
It don't go BANG.

In theory, it is now plausible to make a spring-action pistol with power equivalent to .22. This would use 20v power tool batteries.
It is also plausible to get raided by the ATF by doing this, and it is also plausible that the ATF will shoot your dog while they do so.
They make air rifles as powerful as .22lr now and nobody is getting raided. There's even a full auto one.
Making a gun isn't illegal at the federal level still I thought. Can you not still make a pipe shotgun or are we just going full moron now?
Ur Mom was a cheap alternative last night

>Jewls
Why are you using noguns units.
slingshot rifles are fun
>verification not required
Because a slingshot won't kill a man at 500yds.
