The entire episode is funny, but the best and most relevant parts start at about 14:00 and 18:30

Yeah, shooting Mexicans is only racist if you do it for sport. But if you use every part, like the Indians, its fine.

Find a parking garage, go to the top level and let loose. Especially during parades and stuff. The one where me and my friends shoot balloons is next to a bunch of clubs, so we can nail people. Also, if you have a sunroof in your car, you can make a mobile sligshot, which is sick.

Here's what you do, get donuts.
Get 3 friends, have one during lunch tell the kids free donuts on the football field.
Sit on the opposite end and shoot donuts at all the kids.
Epic win.

yo i've had these things and they are fucking dangerous.  it shot water balloons a good 300 yard over 2 house and then hits a third one on the roof.  be careful and don't underestimate its power!

That's a bad idea. When I was like 8, my drive way was real shitty and falling apart. I thought it would be fun to throw the big chunks of asphalt in the air and run away. I betcha know where that chunk of driveway landed.

My friends and I went to a beach and dug a huge hole with one of these. I was in the pit and they were on top for maximum pullback range. Shit goes so high and far. People we hit got pissed as fuck though

I'll just shoot it at fucks like you I guess.

It came in the mail today. Tubes are soo thick, its ridiculous. Goes SUPER far if shot with the right trajectory. The key is to get the two people holding the ends elevated somehow. Still working on that

You want to have the strongest people holding the slingshot, and the person pulling back can just knee down on the ground. We shot my 200 yard one mad farther than it should haha.

we climbed on a roof of a classroom near our football stadium at my high school. when the game started we launched baloons into the opposing team's crowd. it was absolutely hilarious, until we had quite the intense getaway.


moral of the story - shoot at crowds. more targets, more lolz.

Hahahaahaahahaha imagine loading as many that would fit and shooting them. I could see a whole bunch of tennis balls rocketing towards there doomed target.

Snowballs? Bring it on the chairlift, or shoot people who throw stuff at you.

Twas epic. We attached it to a swingset and launched balloons at houses on the other side of the reservoir. Only one close call with a car though.

Better idea.
Go skiing, get snow balls, put one in, have your friends start going down the hill so they're able to get max pull range. Hit douche fucks.

Hurts a lot more when it's a brick.

Me and my friend thought it would be giggles to load a brick into it and tie each end to a playset and launch it into a lake to see how big a splash it would make...


I let 'er rip and watched it go up, the basket flip around and come flying straight back at me.
"Oh shit is that gonna- POW"

Completely owned my arm/shin/thigh going about 80 I guess.

So yeah. Don't use large bricks.

Pics later.

Yeah. The basket flipped around and basically slingshotted the brick back at me, where it proceeded to demolish my arm/shin. Basically just nasty roadrash (brickrash?) and some bruising lol. Stung like a bitch though lol

I have one and the best advice i can give you is to shoot EGGS instead of water balloons. They can do some damage and it's awesome!

how does that work, who pulls the slingshot back since two people will be sticking out of the sunroof, or vice versa
