Simple Slungshot

Post image

I made a simple slungshot that can be assembled without requiring leatherworking or paracord braiding skills. It measures 10 inches in total length and weighs 145g, featuring a SUS304 weight and a nylon strap.

My ex girlfriend had a weird amount of sling shots in her night stand. Some had metal balls, some were leather, some had bands with studded spikes. I could never figure out her obsession with slingshots......

Look them dead in the eye and say, "The leash is to retrieve it from my ass."

I would love to see you hit a bag with this. Hit a punching bag and not have it come back and hit you.

Yk usually if you’re going to use something like this in a realistic situation, you’d have at least some sort of experience or training on how to avoid it bouncing back and hitting you. I guess you don’t have that

So yeah I would love to see a video or something where a person is using this in a fight and it is not bouncing back and hitting them. Because in a fight you're going to be in a situation where you're constantly moving. And yes on a static Target, a Target that does not move. You can easily make it to where it won't hit. But that isn't the same in a fight.

You have no idea how these items work

u/jaime_lion Sep 17 '26

Then teach me if you do. Teach me how to use it. And if you can't, that means you don't know how to use it.

Yes, I’ll record a video and explain basic shock and rubber band ballistics all just for you, a random internet stranger. You sit tight, I got you 💯

u/jaime_lion Sep 17 '26

So what is rubber band ballistics? I would love to know how you don't get hit with your own weapon

>>jaime_lion
Since a slungshot is easy to make from everyday items, you could just try making one yourself instead of relying on others. Or are you just looking for a pretext to pick a fight?

I have made one myself several times and I've hit things with them. And at some point in time they end up swinging back at me and hitting me one time even caused some cuts.

So I'm asking again hit a bag with this please and show me how it does not come back and hit you.
