B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I traded with a friend of mine... who makes catapults full time... We came up with the idea of a slingshot made from a set of british army DPM combats... He formed a block of 10mm aluminium...green GRP spacings and the camo micarta facings.... He even managed to get the union jack badge... from the shirt incorporated... Fitted for tubes with quick attachment slits.... The aim was for a 'bulletproof' catapult that can be taken anywhere and shoot rocks effortlessly...hence the wider forks... and it came with a rockslinging pouch... I can make up various tubed bandsets and pack them away... and change them in seconds... instead of fiddling about with flatbands.... The pictures cant get the camo to show up so well... but believe me... its amazing... Had this for a while and taken a few bits an pieces with it... only now am i getting 100% with it... Its HEAVY... "HEAVY IS GOOD... IF IT FAILS-YOU CAN ALWAYS HIT THEM WITH IT!" ... cheers. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
