Ammo weight vs power (tested with darts)

- Everyone should see the difference of a ammo's power by this test. The light dart does not get the same penetration as the heavier dart. Even though the heavier dart is moving significantly slower, it takes more mass to stop the dart due to it's increased weight. This can be demonstrated by this analogy: which is easier to stop by standing in front of and only using your arm strength? A ten speed pedal bike at 10mph or a motorcycle at 5mph. Of course the ten speed is way lighter and easier to stop due to its weight. A projectile from a slingshot is the same thing. It will take more to stop a heavier ammo. Effective distance may be reduced though as it has more drop.

A very professional evaluation. Good job pal
Thank you and thank you for great products. I try to be fair but even slower speeds for power more weight usually wins. I thought this way a fun way to demonstrate that.
One of the best slingshot channels i have watched. Great work 🙂
Thank you so much 😀
When our hobby is their profession.
Awesome slingshot dart tests bro!
Thank you! I hope its informative enough.
@@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat Welcome bro I make my own darts!
That "groove for hooking on your band" has the same name as the back end of an arrow that hugs the bowstring, it's called a "nock"
I have not heard it called a knock before. I shot a message to Min from Snipersling out of curiosity. Min from Snipersling said it is called a "notch or a barb". I have heard it called a pouch groove as well.
@@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat I have a background in archery, that's why I suggested that word. A "nock" is a term in archery for a notch (in either a bow or an arrow) for holding the string.
The act of setting an arrow on the string, preparing it to be drawn back is called nocking.
The writers of the archery and slingshot codexes must not have been in the office together that day... Lol
There is no harm in calling it a groove.
Though, I'll continue to call it a nock, since the term applies and it's 2nd nature for me to do so with arrow-like projectiles.
@@mherrmann81687 Oh yes, I have a traditional archery background. This winter I will be doing a Make a slingbow string/pouch video. Saving it for when I need t do things indoors. Nock makes since to me!
@@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat thats cool. I'm shooting slingbow as well ... ton of fun... and no need to unstring your bow everytime. Basically taking 60% of my prep time out of the equation, leaving me more time to shoot. And with a few extra bands pre-set, the downtime for snapped bands is minimal.
The bands are too strong for most of my family to complete a full-draw and stabilize the forks. But that's bc in archery you don't want to grasp your bow tightly at all, but slingbow you need to stay in control the fork/frame (As I'm sure you know). I don't think the sljngbow has a significantly different draw-weight than a beginner's bow (20lbs or so), it's just a different beast that requires different muscles and tactics.
If you can't tell, my interest in slingshots was reinvigorated recently and I have become kind of obsessed with all aspects of sling-dom, even got a Shepherd's Sling... kinda worried to use it though. (Imagines glass breaking *cringes* - I need a BIG field) LOL
Looking forward to what you'll do next..
Yes, it is a different animal all together, but I love them all!
I’d like to see some band tuning to optimize a hunting combination.
I've got a list. This one is difficult since everyone has different draw lengths. So I have a plan to do a tips on how to tune bandsets though.
Which one would you rather use when the SHTF?
It would just depend on the target...
What scale is that? I'd love to get one for myself.
I got it from a smoke shop. There are several available on Amazon as well.
Very important test your power
Our was called weight and measures this morning.
Lost 2 in tall grass with rattle snakes .The thick grass makes them hard to see .Watch out for rattle snakes
Oh, that's not fun! Thankfully, we have very few rattlers around here.
Where can I get your darts from?do you make them and sell them?

Those are both of the dart links. I do not make or sell them, sorry.
Practice practice practice
Well done
Very true. Thank you.
Sorry I missed what bands you are using
SimpleShot Premium Latex .7mm at a 20-12 taper and 500% elongation.
@@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat thank you
@@Lij_MC No problem!
Como eu Faso pra comprar
GZK
i want to purchase those large darts
I got them from gzk online
You need the bigger tip on the lighter dart
I have asked Min about that but at this time, that is what is offered. I still have fun shooting them!
@@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat if a heavier razor sharp broadhead tip was on the lighter dart it would be fit for war
@@horridhenry1805 I and many others have requested it! I agree!
@@horridhenry1805 I craft my own broad head tipped slingdarts. Works well with GZK Pulley Slingshot.
no offense to GZK but those darts suck. i have both and the gzk ones bend on the first shot every time, both the tip and shaft bend very easily, and to top it off the fletching just adds way too much air resistance.
I have not had an issue other than breaking tips. I love the power and weight they have to them. I agree about the fletchings and I put small plastic veins on and they fly much faster!
@@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat maybe I'm just using stronger rubber but I just like the sniper sling darts better they seem to work much better at least for me
@@Jonoman777 my heavy dart bandset is around 35lbs of draw weight. The carbon shafts break way easier than the steel.
@@Jonoman777 They fly faster for sure. The heavier have much more energy. I plan on getting some ballistic gel for some test videos this summer. For the GZK I use .9 with a 20-15 taper.
@@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat I use 1745 tubes, double looped for the most part. that would be awesome to see ballistics test!!
steel? the gzk darts I got were definitely aluminum shafts
Retrieve your arrow
Always! Well, I've lost one, still look for it. It just disappeared!
