In the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse of the future, a machete-shooting crossbow will be as practical and everyday as a Leatherman is today. But right now, it is possibly the most dangerous contraption I have ever seen.
Made by J�rg Sprave, who runs The Slingshot Channel on YouTube, the Machete Slingshot consists of a standard head-lopping machete with a notch cut in the blade near the tip. This notch hooks onto the rubber bands on the crossbow, and the machete is held back, cocked, by a slotted wooden block that stops the handle from moving forward. The trigger lifts the handle over this block, and chaos ensues.
As you?ll see when you watch J�rg?s video, this isn?t something you should try at home. During the testing phase he wore nothing more protective than a T-shirt, and he has the livid, bloody gash on his Popeye-like forearm to prove it. J�rg, I think you?ll have to agree, is completely bad-ass.
Keep watching for the bonus video, and the chance to see someone even tougher than J�rg himself: J�rg?s cat. Any animal that hangs around when homemade catapults are being tested deserves our undying respect.
