Awesome Joerg Sprave

Folding Rack-and-Pinion Knife

Folding Rack-and-Pinion Knife

Joerg Sprave is known for his inventive slingshot designs. He’s also into unique weapons. In this video, he shows off a neat custom knife he built with a rack-and-pinion mechanism. It pops open and closes quickly with the flick of a lever. He’s sending the prototype to a professional knifemaker to see if it can be refined and put into production.

Joerg Sprave’s Archery Extreme

Joerg Sprave’s Archery Extreme

There’s nothing quite as joyous as the grin on Joerg Sprave’s face and his manaical laugh when he fires up one of his over-the-top homebrew weapons. In this clip, he shows off a few of his creations, a couple of commercially-available crossbows, and the real reason you came here, an insane drill-powered machine bow at 7:15.

Rapid-Fire Mini Bow

Rapid-Fire Mini Bow

Weapon enthusiast Joerg Sprave shows off another really cool build. Dubbed the “Sliding Legolini,” this compact bow reloads and repeats with every draw. It can fire at a rate up to 140 arrows per minute, though it only has a 4 bolt capacity. Now, Joerg needs to build a magazine for this thing.

Fully-armed Vacuum Robot

Fully-armed Vacuum Robot

Weapon maker Joerg Sprave is always up for a challenge. When the makers of the game War Robots asked him if he’d build a robot, he obliged them with the world’s deadliest vacuum cleaner – which carries and fires a Glock. Never yell at this robot for missing a spot!

Star Wars Glowstick Blaster

Star Wars Glowstick Blaster

Weapon maker Joerg Sprave shows off one of his cooler looking, but least destructive builds – a custom replica of Rey’s blaster from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It’s not picture-perfect, but it has a cool trick up it’s sleeve – it fires glowsticks as ammo.

Supersonic LEGO Darts

Supersonic LEGO Darts

Joerg Sprave first shows off how LEGO bricks can become far more nasty by turning them into mouth-blown air darts, then builds a “scientific test device” so he can then fire the projectiles at supersonic speeds with a powerful air compressor.

Full-auto Crossbow

Full-auto Crossbow

Joerg Sprave’s latest creation is an deadly weapon that uses a Makita power drill to power an automatically reloading, trigger-fired crossbow mechanism. It can be loaded with up to 32 arrows at a time, and can hit targets from more than 130 feet away.

Killer “Toy” Gun

Killer “Toy” Gun

Joerg Sprave shows off a deadly air powered gun that’s capable of launching a 1/4 lb arrow at up to 250 mph, easily piercing through armor. Shockingly, its arrow-over-the-barrel design would allow it to be classified as a “toy” in Germany. Perhaps they need to rethink that.

The Rubberaulic Press

The Rubberaulic Press

The Slingshot Channel’s Joerg Sprave was inspired by The Hydraulic Press Channel to create his own version of their destructive press. But Joerg’s version uses powerful rubber bands and a winch to stretch them instead of hydraulic pressure to do its business.

Ping Pong Slingshot Gatling Gun

Ping Pong Slingshot Gatling Gun

A TV show commissioned this silly slingshot from Joerg Sprave. Unlike most of his weapons, this one’s intended to be fired at humans, so Joerg had to add a transmission between the electric drill and the trigger to reduce the balls’ speed.

NERF Gun w/Scalpel Blades

NERF Gun w/Scalpel Blades

The whole point of NERF weapons is that they’re supposed to be harmless. But that didn’t stop weapon maker and modder Joerg Sprave from amping up the a NERF gun’s spring, and transforming the soft foam darts into deadly projectiles. We love Joerg’s maniacal laugh.

Coke Bottle Gatling Gun

Coke Bottle Gatling Gun

Joerg Sprave sells bottle caps equipped with a rubber valve. They’re used to fill soda bottles with pressurized air, turning them into noisy shooting targets. But since he’s insane, he decided to turn the bottles into a weapon. Coming this winter: No Country for Old Sven.

Skateboard Slingshot

Skateboard Slingshot

We don’t know if Joerg Sprave can ride a skateboard, but he can pull off one hell of a trick with it. Watch him turn a cruiser into a powerful compound slingshot that turns the wheels into pulleys.

The Scalpel Blade Frisbee

The Scalpel Blade Frisbee

Joerg Sprave continues to build out the deadliest DIY arsenal ever, adding to his collection the most dangerous flying disc we’ve seen. It’s like a more leisurely version of Oddjob’s hat. Not recommended for playing games of catch.

Lawn Dart Slingshot

Lawn Dart Slingshot

Because of their ability to do serious harm, lawn darts have been banned in the U.S. But where there’s danger, there’s Joerg Sprave. Since they’re still legal in Germany, he built a weapon that makes them even more deadly.

Meet the Slingshot Medic

Meet the Slingshot Medic

Unlike his Heavy video, Joerg Sprave didn’t bother reenacting Team Fortress 2‘s Meet the Medic commercial to present his slingshot version of the syringe gun. It actually fires faster than its video game counterpart.

Meet the Slingshot Heavy

Meet the Slingshot Heavy

“All right, who touched my slingshot?!” Joerg Sprave knocks it out of the park with his first spoof video. Watch him ape Valve’s Team Fortress 2 commercial Meet the Heavy with the help of a slingshot minigun.

Revolverception

Revolverception

Madman Joerg Sprave is back with another insane weapon build. This time, he’s taken four cap-firing revolvers and mounted them to a spinning rig powered by a drill. We can only imagine the carnage if he did this with actual revolvers.

The Santa Slayer 2014

The Santa Slayer 2014

For his Christmas 2014 video, slingshot madman Joerg Sprave built a massive weapon capable of turned a Christmas tree into a deadly arrow. All we’re saying is that Santa better not fly his sleigh over Joerg’s neighborhood this year.

Rotor Blade of Death

Rotor Blade of Death

Joerg Sprave continues to build out his arsenal of improvised ammo flinging weaponry, this time building a scary looking device which fires glass marbles using a drill as its power source. We’re looking forward to seeing it in action outdoors.

Dart Machine Gun

Dart Machine Gun

Joerg Sprave took a break from making ridiculously overpowered slingshots to make a ridiculously overpowered dart launcher using a drill and some clothespins. At around 2:12 it’s like he’s thinking, “What the hell am I doing?”

The Rowboat of Death

The Rowboat of Death

Here’s slingshot expert Joerg Sprave’s workout plan: a rowing machine slingshot. The hand-powered artillery may be stationary, but it makes up for it with its 30mm steel ball projectiles. Now this is a fun exercise.

The Football Slingshot

The Football Slingshot

GOAAAAAL! Slingshot master Joerg Sprave gets in on World Cup mania with his latest creation – a massive slingshot that can fire a soccer ball from one end of the field to the other. We bet it would go even further with a Brazuca ball.
