There’s a hilarious description with pictures here:

of a guy who built himself a black-powder mortar that launches bowling balls a good 600 yards downrange.

That’s not a slingshot. That’s a ballista.

I’ve watched many of his other videos and this guy is a hoot! He’s a German engineer who knows what he’s doing and loves his hobby!

From a friend:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

About 25 years ago, some guys were on tour with a human-powered trebuchet they’d built. People would pull ropes on the counter-weight end to launch a “cannonball” downrange.

“On the count of three... One... Two... THREE...!” the volunteers would pull, the shot would fire, and then the shot distance would be measured.

Then they counted off in French... “Un... Deux... TROIS...!”

And the shot went 10 yards shorter.

Then they counted in German... “Ein... Zwei... DREI...!” and the shot was 10 yards farther than in English!

They said that happens everyplace they went. “The lesson is...never make love in German, and never make war in French!”
