Our Buddy Is Back Playing With Lasers

I know how much the population here loves KIPKAY, so I figured you guys would want to know about his new video involving lasers right? <sarcasm>

YouTube - Laser Guided Slingshot!

Fortunately it looks low powered.

It depend ..... a pistacho in an eye can still blind tou ..... and if you shoot a pistacho in an eye of someone with this slingshot and blind him, maybe you can find someone that say that the guilty is again of the laser ..... :na:

to make it an EPIC WIN it needs more steampunk, more leds, more p0wer....
...and of course, an 1W 445nm (that Al block would be great heatsink lol). or two. or three :eg:

I think the slingshot is nice. the laser is useless there though.

No sh*t, ReNNo.

That laser is perfectly accurately calibrated and via video feedback fed to microcontrolled, moved by tiny steppers to always accurately represent the hit point.

Give or take a few kilometers.


Laser aiming as it is, perhaps is the best visual feedback to a sharpshooter or any other soldier with firearms, but there are some stuff laser just should not be mounted on, because of you know, that thing called logic.

I have no idea what went through his head there (pistaccio round or two, perhaps) but not only are you pointing the laser into somebody's eyes now, you're making sure that they stay blind no matter the power of the laser.

Also, method of securing the rubber bands to the screw prongs. You think they'll last more than like, 5 shots before needing re-securing up there?

What a piece of chit. All BS aside, the top threads are going to cut those cheap tubes really quick. You need surgical tubing when making a sling shot, and a smooth anchoring point.

You'd be better off buying a decent sling shot for under $20, and adding a laser. The laser does not even do anything. It will point in the general direction, but there is no guarantee the ammo will hit the mark. He was close to that target.

I always used glass marbles for ammo. They go really far, and make quite the impact. :eg:

Ehm ..... always remember the main disadvantage of laser aiming devices, when you are a sniper .....

If you imagine lasers on sniper rifles equal to the ones in the movies [Expendables *cough*] , which is a beam visible as 100W of red in real life, and no dot at all, then yes.

In broad daylight, only the dot of used laser device (Which is not 100W red) would be visible. And by the time anybody notices it, it's too late.

At least, in my opinion. No military experience what so ever.

On the other hand, laser application as aiming assisstance on uhh.... Freaking slingshot (!), is far from disputable.
