Awesome Diesineveryfilm

(PG-13: Language) A normal axe has no moving parts, so we’re not sure there was a need to complicate matters. Still, this spring-loaded axe from DiesInEveryFilm is noteworthy for its unique design and ability to demonstrate Newtonian physics by minimizing rebound.

DiesInEveryFilm has started building an arsenal of bendy weapons with handles made from thick aircraft cable. First, he built a kinetic axe, then made a kinetic sword, and now, he’s back with a custom kinetic hammer. Can it drive nails effectively? Or is it best reserved for bashing in zombie heads? Hit play and find out.

A number of makers participated in The Viking Challenge. Among them is DiesInEveryFilm, who avoided the more popular bladed weapons and went with a war hammer. He built it using a hollow steel tube, thick steel plates, and a wood handle with brass and leather accents. Check out all of the Viking Challenge videos, then cast your vote for your fave.

It’s not often we see a truly unique weapon. In this video from maker DiesInEveryFilm, he shows us how he fabricated a custom sling bow from a kid-sized bicycle wheel and steel tubing. It’s held like a pistol and uses elastic tubing like a slingshot but fires full-length arrows. It looks like something that Hawkeye might have in his bag of tricks.

Maker DiesInEveryFilm wanted to see a sword with a flexible blade could be as effective as a straight blade. He created his unusual weapon by machining a custom blade, cutting it into segments, sliding them onto a length of aircraft cable, and welding them into place. The result is a bit floppy but still dishes out damage.

It’s rare that we come across a weapon we haven’t heard of, but this is the first time we’ve seen a kanabō (金棒). This ancient Samurai war club was basically a spiked or studded baseball bat. Diesineveryfilm created a replica of the Japanese weapon, and it appears highly effective based on the melon and coconut carnage.
