This husky German video engineer has been making zillions of sling shot videos in his driveway for years. His English is good, and he is smart and a hard worker.... reminds me of WWII, what could go wrong?

I've seen this before but it hurts to watch as much now as the 1st time. While it was staged, just looking at his head makes you think about getting brained.

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
That was an awful lot of blood running down his head.
Must have opened up a pretty big vein on his forehead.
Nah, the head and face have lots of small vessels that bleed like crazy when opened up. I never saw anyone bleeding from the head that was in any real danger unless the skull was penetrated. A little direct pressure would get them stopped in just a few minutes.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.
I was suspicious when the camera on the ground was pointed at his head. But I did not want that to stop me from enjoying someone else's screw up. I wanted to believe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief

i came by a bunch of ball bearings about 50 cal back in the day. shot them out of my wrist rocket. them fuggers were wicked. them things would bounce all over the place.
I used to take the kids out in the woods and we'd plink mushrooms and other wood debri with our wrist rockets. Walmart used to have bags of 100 marbles for $.99, pretty cheap ammo.
I find 000 buckshot to be just about the right weight for a wrist rocket, and the lead deforms a bit so it doesn't ricochet as badly as marbles or ball bearings.
Reminds me of when I was a kid, I wanted a coin with a bullet hole through it. Went out in the woods with my trusty .22, stood a nickel up on a rough spot on the trunk of an apple tree so it was backed up solidly by the trunk...right about eye level....stepped back eight or ten feet...can't miss distance...and let fly with a .22 short. That short bullet came buzzing straight back at me, close enough to nick my earlobe. Good lessons must have been on sale that day.

Marbles make a resounding think on a mooses skull 'tween the eyes.
Less than lethal ammo!
