lol

Ball bearing steel, is a very high quality steel, that not many people know, it makes the best steel for a hard use fixed blade knife. Its carbides cut really smooth and easy and it's my favorite steel to sharpen. It just likes to get sharp! It's also one of the toughest steels arround. I have tried almost all the high quality tool steels and super steels out there...but ballbearing steel, will always be my favorite. Whenever I see slingshot ammo, I always think of a hammer,smashing them into a blade stock!!!

@@greekveteran2715 damn you know alot lol. Imma check your channel to see if u got any vids. If not I'll just sub anyways lol. I have only just started to get into slingshot hunting and really need tips for getting good 🤣😅

@@greekveteran2715 without me 44 subs and no vids! How you do that wizard craft

@@charlieberry8056 I don't have any videos but I can help you on 3 different things, that I really know and have experience. For Slingshot hunting, you have to get a good slingshot, with flat rubbers (stay away from the round rubber ones, that are made from steel and plastic, they are not accurate at all, even the most expensive ones) So, get a flat rubber band slingshot, made of laminate wood or any hard wood! Then for ammo, I guess you know what you need. KZfaq video and practice, help a lot. The diameter and the weight of the ball, determens the distance of the target. I mean, I would choose a more heavy ball, to shot at close distance and so on. Also the diameter of the ball, is another factor that will determine, what I'm going to shot. If I want to shot a glass window, then I choose a larger than 1mm diameter ball, to add to the power, that can break a glass easier. Be careful, I've seen steel balls, reflected from windows, back to the shooter! Always shot in an angle and don't be close to the target, except it's a Rabbit, that came in front of you! I'm also into blowguns, which is my favorite weapon, but fixed blade knives, is that what I know more about. I have huge collection, but I'm more a user trying always to find the best out there, than I am a collector. I don't "Baby" my knives, they all have been used for long periods, before I make my opinion on them. If I can help you more,please feel free to ask for anything I could possibly help. Thank you for your kind words.

That is what i'm thinking. Multiple shots of same ammo to determine the average penetration of each size or type of ammo..

Search gamekeeper John

Search "Simple-Shot Slingshots", and learn from Nathan Masters; search "Fowler's Makery and Mischief" and learn from Zachary Fowler. Then there's Dan Ambrosius and Gamekeeper John. Enjoy your education!

Breathfire I never said anything about him being “bad”. My point wAs that the more aerodynamic the ammo, the better the flight. His mold maker needs a better sprue-cutter to eliminate the ridges which catch the air in flight on it’s way to the target. 😊

I'll third Fowler, he's a champion and he knows his stuff and his channel is not just slingshots, but airguns, bows etc. it's using them in the wild for catch and cook and other challenges like 30 day survival etc. It's a wide range channel and interesting.

@@snausagesmcgee3963 Interesting, I will have to check it out. I am still an amateur and experimenting, so I am all for trying different things and finding out what works best for me. Thank's for the tip.

Brilliant - thanks so much. / Charlie

@@fieldsportstv Yes, could you please repeat that with a chronograph and 5-10 rounds for each ammunition size to calculate an average?

Yes, I have several stunning hats, made by Steson and Resistol (in the same factory).

Me to

Me to

We do😅

Yes do it! I'd like to see if it's a viable solution for a non-firearm hunting of small game.

plus you want get lead poisoning

Lead always seems preferable to me when hunting near areas where ricochets might occur with steel. I find lead won't bounce due to deformation. 👍

@@mustafabassim2083 i had a lead .22 in my head for 5 months and didnt get lead poisoning ( my friend shot me by accident back in 2013 when i was 13)

@@SamFBM what, the fuck

@@erikrigt4294 hahaha let's just say I was lucky not to look up . I pre loaded a pellet in my hammerli 550 (was a crossman premier domed) but didn't cock it . Anyway we was fucking about and he thought it was unloaded but didn't check, cocked it and aimed it at me and squeezed that trigger. Nhs piece of shit didn't wanna take it out there and then so I had to wait from January to June to have it removed. Luckily no penetration into my skull , just the flesh so thank god for 12ftlbs . Toss pots called the police too because it's technically a firearm incident so was questioned by police and asked if I wanted to press charges. I'm just lucky I didn't look up when he called my name because I'm stubborn or else I'd have no right eye and probably disabled or even dead but I don't like to think about that. Gives me chills

Will i still able to kill using 8mm balls?

Kendal Stewart thank you 👍

Oh wow that's so smart, they're almost perfect circles and very hard

Stuart McCloud thank you mate. David is a good editor 😂👍

Bernard thank you 👍

Jackwagonery...that's all it can be to cause someone to vote down.

,@@MrPatrick7777 MAKOPAT!!!!! Regards from THWACK! Stay safe, my brother!

a live animal isn't restrained either.. so this is pretty accurate to what hunting penetrations would likely be....

Wtf did u say

So can we assume that the 12.7mm is close to a 50 caliber ball 10mm is about 40 caliber ball.

Right. He was wrong with some of his estimations. Why should he be right with the bands...

Mattress Munchkyn thank you

Catty Shack Hunter yw, :)

Your muff cabbage. You think that's going to make a difference. Go kick cans.

What you said is true. More gel block should also be used, one block for each bullet.Almost because a bullet fired after the previous one could go further due to the channel already dug previously.

I use to fill the center of m6 hex nuts with lead. Absolutely devastating when hunting

@@PrometheusFPV I would imagine so. Full metal jacket slingshot 😎

@@PrometheusFPV did this yesterday and today i've shot a pigeon and broke the head in half 😁

Yeah. A bit mystifying.

M.K. Chase 😂😂👍

Why don’t miss lol

gambainhacks you won’t get much cheaper than steel ballbearing catapult ammunition 👍

@@CattyShackHunter oh okey i haven't notice that because im from Italy and here is different. Thank for the answer. Love catapults

How can i write you on private? Because i would like to challenge you when i can get my hand on my catapult? And i also want to came to bassaleg When this ends.

A few years ago Jorge of the slingshot channel did destructive tests using various combinations of nuts washers and threaded rod in different combinations pretty eye opening what he accomplished

Wham-o wrist rocket

Aldo Gutierrez yes, but not if you use 8mm steel 🤣🤣

Most likely. Some can kill a humans, and zombies are rotten and easier for the shots to travel through. Question is your aim, cause I know I wouldn’t hit shit

@@Charley-ju6yg really? Care to explain? Curious which bands and ammo can actually kill zombies

@@trexypoo5360 I can’t give any brand names or stuff like that unfortunately, as I’m not that far into slingshots. All I know is that some slingshots can definitely kill humans, and as mentioned, zombies have rotten flesh and deteriorated bones, so it would definitely be able to kill a zombie too. Some Weaker slingshots probably would be able to do it too

@@Charley-ju6yg why do you say definitely though? That’s what I’m wondering lol. Any sources or something?

.40 bands with 12mm steel, really? They would have to be some ridiculous tapers to even lob that ammo

@@neilclaydon2038 had this before check out pure latex in .40 simple shot can't get it any more I bought last 5 rolls it's not measured same buy yanks trust me throws it well

@@paulgrain19 .40 inch instead of millimetre?🤣

Yes

"Simple -Shot.com" (Nathan Masters), or check out Zachary Fowler "Fowler's Makery and Mischief" on YT. Tell them THWACK! from the Slingshot Forum sent you.

GZK maybe
