Beyond cool !!! Why didn’t they have something like this when I was a kid…I had to suffer with an original Wrist Rocket. Pretty nasty with .22 ball bearings, though. Yet, this full auto/ semi-auto powerhouse is so more sophisticated and outright fun.
Outstanding! I wonder if you could devise an auto-cock using the energy from the spinning cylinder, and auto reload from inside the cylinder, a spring loaded nested helix, perhaps replaceable (a magazine construction). If the mags were “pre-springed”, and the reload could use the power drill energy, you could shoot till the battery ran down. I like the use of the standard crossbow load.
Awesome. This device will save many lives – just like Gatling invented his gun for: what previously required 8 men on the battlefield now only requires 1. Ingenious indeed. I do wonder, though, is the 8-shot cylinder detachable? If so, that would be super awesome – you could have several standing by and after each one is depleted, simply detach, put on a new one and away you go. Better hurry before DiFi finds out.
This is one of the finest slingshots I have ever seen. The select fire option makes this a truly versatile shooter, the double pistol grips make for ease of handling – I can’t say enough about the brilliant design work – magnets to hold the bolts in place! I rank the designer among Browning, Kalashnikov and Garand as a true genius of engineering.
Beautiful design. Will the next one you create possibly cradle small ball bearings, one per shot? Small gripping configuration at the holding / release point? Best luck to your imaginations!!
Joerg, speaking of weaponizing tools, this has to be up there with the automatic nail gun for civil usability! Totally imaginative and practical. Drop by and say hi on FB – will be following your inventiveness… your friend in thought, Mark
Posted to Stumbleupon.com, a heparin Reservoir in the darts or a EDTA anti coagulant and spring loaded barbed blades. 3 or 4 of those and a high torque drill to power a auto cocking mechanism and 2 loaders(assistants) and you can have more or less sustained fire.

Joerg, you are truly a genius! I’m impressed, especially with the shot groups you get! Keep up the outstanding and innovative work!
Achtung! I think this machine is a bit of a stretch. Very cool.
Great! Sent the video link on to a couple creative family members plus another half dozen guys.
i tried to connnect to the link on how to build it, but i keep getting an error saying cannot find this site
Excellent! But don’t we need some legislation keeping these out of the hands of children and criminals? Keep up the great work!
Well that’s awesome!
Amazing. Simply amazing.
You realize of course that there is probably some law that makes it illegal!
Does a CCW permit cover that?
B-)
That is an engenious design. I’m a historian and I’ve never seen anything like it outside of the movies. Well done sir.
That is obviously an assault slingshot.
AND it has a pistol grip!….

Oh man…awesome!
This was great fun. You are a good woodworker. That is a very elegant gatlingsling.
Absolutely awesome. Now then, need to come up with auto cocking so all you’ll have to do to fire again is load more bolts.
Dude, I’ve never been to your site before but this thing is frikkin’ awesome. I like full auto too.

This needs to be on the Walking Dead.
An assault slingshot! With a quick reload feature. This must be outlawed at once!!!
Joerg, you are incredible. We are going to make this thingy in our dorms thanks to you.
That’s awesome! Combining the reusable ammo of a crossbow bolt with the Automatic weapon. genius.
That is totally awesome. I agree with Eric – needs to be on Walking Dead.
That thing is totally awesome! Just the sheer fun of firing that thing would be worth the plane ride alone.
There is only one possible comment to make here:
I want one. I want one. I want one.
Do you sell them or plans to them?
Arrived here via Instapundit — The sling gatling is teh coolness.
Too cool. Do you have instructions on how to make one? Would love one at home!
mad genius @ play! love it!

One could connect a Sawzall to a Chinese repeating crossbow…
Yup, I definitely need this.
Awesome! Can you share the the DIY instructions?
Cross bow darts how clever…my favorite part was your comment “I love weaponizing black and decker tools.”

I know, full-auto, slingshot biathlon!
Thanks, Joerg!
I remember a science fiction story about this but never expected to see it implemented. I need one of these.
I came from Instapundit too. That is an awesome weapon. Nice slo-mo too!!
Awesome? Now to build a belt fed version.
Totally Awesome! Brilliant. I like the sear idea.
Very cool! Now you need to up the RPMs on that drill!
Where can I get one? Is it less than $1000?
Holy bejeezus, I wish I had your woodworking talent. Great video, but don’t let Diane Feinstein see it!
Very cool! Do you publish plans?

Bravo!
It will most likely be outlawed in New York state before the end of the week.

Joerg, you say Black & Decker, but you are actually a Craftsman. It’s cool that it’s made of wood.
Awesome! I wish you were my neighbor!
“Hey, bring some beer over and watch this!”
Epic! Thanks so much!
When they go on sale, sign me up, lol.
Loy
that is so awesome
Awesome gatling gun!
That is really really cool. I love the phrase “weaponizing Black and Decker!”
AF8 Speedbolt GT Vulcan Sling-A-Nator is not taken at the Copyright office, btw.
Genius!!

That is sweet
The tight grouping is quite impressive. Hey, let us know when this puppy auto-loads.
VERY nice. Bet the anti-gun lobby hates this – but this is COOL! Is that Baltic ply you are using?
That is totally wicked! I love it. An intruder would never know what him him. Also has to be a ton of fun just to target practice!

A lot of dead zombies, way cool carpentry work.
Be careful. If the Leftist Democrats find out about this, they will add it to the gun ban they are trying to pass.
Very nice, beats the Potato Gun my son made… Cool
Pretty ingenious if you ask me. Maybe you should market it as an adult AND a children’s toy.
I’ll be waiting on my backpack with my surprise inside!
einfach wunderbar !
You deserve a congratulations in your own language!
seine Glückwünsche entbieten.
I look forward to seeing more ideas come to life. A true engineer and craftsman.
