I upped the rubber for the chest plate crossbow.
It now has 68 kg (150 lb) of a draw. Major speed improvement! I am still not at my limit, but this by all means is a heavy draw weight. 6 bands of TB Gold per side, 10 cm (fork) and 6 cm (pouch). That means a total of 60 cm x 36 cm. Or 3,5 full TB Gold sheets per side.
I made my own crossbow string from Dacron. This one has 115 strands! It is as tough as a horsewhip.
That does look a excellent improvement,just imagine if you could extend your arms as well how much more power could be achieved !!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable quantities of the TB Gold. = Huge power. No wonder that, ordinary string broke. Whether it will work!
ReplyDeleteThat Slingxbow is ridiculous. I really enjoyed the video. Can't wait to see more outrageous shooters. ^-^
ReplyDeleteUnreal power I think my arms would stretch not the bands !!
ReplyDeleteEven for an arbalest or even ballista this sort of draw-weight is insane. If they had you in the medieval times, armor would have been worthless.
