Joerg Sprave Made A Catapult That Fires Tomahawks

If you haven’t met Joerg Sprave, he’s a German engineer who builds slingshots to shoot, well, anything. Spears, Christmas trees, machetes, other slingshots that fire other slingshots, there’s pretty much nothing he won’t fling with rubber. Add tomahawks to that list, with a catapult he engineered.

Leaving aside the fact that it can fling a spinning death axe an impressive distance, Sprave shows off his engineering chops by designing it to spin as it flies, a much harder task than you might expect. But, of course, he resolves it, and now you, too, can engineer a machine that flings razor sharp tomahawks at whatever is in its path! But, you know, don’t do that.
