My hat is off to you Joerg Sprave. A random person on the internet said "what about a slingshot that shoots machetes?" and you said yes, that's a great idea! Kudos.

Trigger guard looks flimsy :P

Also, short of a handgun shooting fully-sized bowie knifes, that must be the coolest blade-shooting mechanism imaginable.

Them crayzee Boers...
I bought a really nice whip when I was in South Africa. Those guys have a knack for making stuff like that.

I watched some of his other videos, Mr. Sprave is definitely a man who follows his bliss. Some of his shooters are neat, like a whittled christmas tree slingshot-rifle-thing, and some are a little frightening.
