Jorge Sprave Slingshot in Popular Science Mag

Post by BobFoster »

The March 2012 edition of Popular Science has an article about Jorge Sprave. The title is "Gatling-Gun Slingshot" The article goes on to say "German businessman Jorge Sprave built a pair of wooden wheels, each with eight one-inch-square blocks arrayed around their circumference, joined the wheels with a three-foot-long steel rod so they turn in unison, and cut a frame and shoulder mount out of wood to hold them in place. For the firing mechanism, Sprave cut small pouches from scrap leather, and pulled them from the front wheel to the back, making eight miniature slingshots. To load the gun, he slips steel balls between the slingshots and the wood. To fire, he turns the wheels with a crank, shooting the balls out in rapid succession."

Cool Jorge !!!!
