David and Goliath: Weapon casts metal spheres with impressive force [video]

Everyone who knows the story of David and Goliath knows that the giant was beaten with a sharp stone in the head. The hero of this biblical tale launched the "projectile" using one of the oldest weapons in history, the sling - an instrument used to throw objects easily and with great force.

To improve on this attack technique, Joerg Sprave - the famous Slingshot Master, who once appeared here on Tecmundo - invented a current version of the sling. As he shows in the video above, a wooden catch and a trigger have been added. With this, the person can more accurately choose the moment of the attack.

The test was made with metal spheres - Sprave explains that there is a possibility of throwing them to the ground of his neighbors, as the throwing power can be very large.

Just don't try to reproduce a sling-like weapon at home, after all, you can seriously hurt anyone near you at launch time.
