Slingshots

I love home-made projectile weapons.. the more simple and silent the better. The slingshot has to be one of my favourite ever.. it's just so perfect.

I've often wondered what it would be like to be fired from a gigantic slingshot into a lake, and once (years ago now) I designed what I thought would be the next big thing: a theme park attraction that flings people hundreds of metres to the middle of a lake. Of course it never went further than diagrams in my school books.

Tonight looking through YouTube, I stumbled across this by complete accident.. it's absolutely incredible.
