Slingshot cannon 2.0:
+ 70% draw length
+ 200% projectile weight
Hoping to hit 3x the previous energy (~1000J).
Also Iām using a steel safe filled with cloths as a catch-box. Let me know If you have a better idea š

Fixing the issues on the Slingshot cannon before the test. Thanks so much for all the comments and tips you gave me under the video guys, it was amazing to see so many of you willing to help out.
In order to shoot manually, Iām going with a longer trigger (better mechanical advantage) and bigger/better roller bearings that should hold up and function under pressure.
Then to increase the power, Iām making much bigger clamps to shoot up to 50mm steel balls (2ā). Let me know what targets youād like to see me blow up

NOT SO NERF update:
In the past few days I hanged out with āŖ@BallisticHighSpeedā¬ āto film the part 2 of the blaster with phantom cameras, testing a bunch of projectiles (half length darts, 3D printed darts, steel balls, .51 cal slugs lol).
Well at least that was the plan.
The shipping company didnāt deliver the blaster in time (still not delivered, and I have to leave today) š„² so the video is still going to happen, but since I live quite far from them, it will be delayed for a bit.
I think itās gonna be worth it, but Iām very sorry for the long wait.
Iām working on a few very interesting projects back home in the meantime, and weāll properly test the ānot so nerfā as soon as possible.
