Can you make a slingshot that fires machetes?

Can you make a slingshot that fires machetes? Yes. Yes you can. Joerg Sprave, who has a whole blog about slingshots, rose to the challenge. He made a slingshot that can fire the heavy and rather sharp weapon. As you can imagine the slingshot is huge.

Jorg hurt himself during the video. Don’t worry. You don’t see it happen. You’re just made aware of the bleeding wound on his arm which appears halfway through. For some reason or other he’s keen that people don’t try this at home. Doesn’t he know we all need to prepare for the impending zombie invasion?
