Thats not shocking at all, sling shots are very deadly.

They don't call them "Wrist Rockets" anymore, but we used old lug nuts, they tended to curve past 20 yds, but we used old 5 gallon buckets, and it would "thump" right through them.

Interesting if he placed a "T-shirt" over the gel, if the same result would occur. Wouldn't matter to a potential BG, that was a big dude.

Than there was Rufus. Stretchin it old school...... ;D

Man!  Rufus sure bought back the memories.  I grew up around a bunch of Rufus-like old guys - not much for bragging, just getting the job done.  Most were soft spoken WWII vets that were very hard working, generous, unassuming heroes who had been through some very rough times.  And even as old men you knew that they could, and would, still beat your ass into submission if you riled them.

Those "old guy's" were probably in their late 30's early 40's back then   ;D

In a country where guns are unavailable, but sling shots are, why not? That's how nunchuks were invented and used. Originally for controlling cattle, but developed into a defense tool.

It should also be noted that a ice cube is a great anti critter projectile.  won't kill bigger stuff, and it goes away on its own, so no one will know what you did.

I need to take a picture, but here in Dallas, there is an asian fellow, who makes a lot of cool products, very small lock picks, at which I am good at, and slingshots, with laser attached, and bearing installed so the Y is very flexible, built like the original wrist rockets but much more sophisticated and hard hitting and accurate, never a bad idea to have any weapon that uses at the least rocks to work.

Sad thing is, Phil can't own one. >:( Though you have to admit that only in America, no scratch that, only in Texas, would someone think of putting a laser on a slingshot. God I love that state. ;D

Come on back, I would love to have a few or more than a few beers, and wear you out, and then maybe some hotwings or BBQ! After a good nights rest, go shoot some guns. ;D
