Have you seen the Xbox game called Assassin Creed? The main character uses a fully functional arm mounted grapple hook. We all think these gadgets and hidden blade is something as fiction but Youtuber ColinFurze have managed to bring them to life and its awesome.
Here's how it works? Insert CO2 cannister, point to destination, and fire! Once the grapple-hook is secure, attach the harness tether to the rope launcher. This has also got the switch on it that controls the motor. Now winch yourself up. See the action here.
I’ve got to have one of these. Forget my liver transplant. This looks like way more fun.
He has been featured several times on The Science Channel show “Outrageous Acts of Science.”
I was particularly amused with his pulse jet bicycle.
Makes me want to go out to the garage and build some crazy gadgets.
A man could use that to scale a high wall, or maybe even the IRS code.
Wasn’t something similar used by our guys on D-Day at Omaha Beach?
Wasn’t there something similar used in MARATHON MAN? It released a spike bayonet from the sleeve.
And in TAXI DRIVER there was one that released a pistol to the palm.
