Zombie or not, it's a good idea to never get on Joerg Sprave's bad side. Our favourite slingshot auteur can weaponise pretty much anything he gets his hands on. From ashtrays, to Oreos, to coins, to what is probably one of the most inane household objects you could think of: a toilet brush. Read More >>

When you think about how you would deal with a zombie invasion, the weapons that come to mind probably don't include slingshots. But if the story of David and Goliath has taught us anything it's that slingshots are pretty deadly. Plus that whole underdog thing. Whatever. Read More >>
What is there to even say? Joerg Sprave dreamed up a slingshot that shoots glass ashtrays and has a broken beer bottle attached as a bayonet. It's all pretty legit. Read More >>
Bill Gates has posted a £65,000 bounty to the person or team that finds a way to improve the age old design of the condom. Including "designs that are easier to properly apply" which inspired our favourite weapons designer Joerg Sprave to of course apply his expertise in slingshots to the problem. Read More >>
Tweaking the design of his bizarre pump-action Oreo gun, Joerg Sprave has built a smaller version designed to take office warfare to the next level (if the next level is a long two-hour talk with human resources). Made only using stuff you'd find around the office—like cardboard, glue, staples, and rubber bands—the pump-gun is able to fire euro coins, or M5 washers. Read More >>
Two summers ago, a giant slingshot anchored to a truck, and drawn by an off-road vehicle, hurled people down a humongous slip and slide, careening them wildly into a lake. So, hey, why not make another one and launch two people at once? Read More >>

We've all done our fair share of chucking paper aeroplanes at friends. And maybe, if you're a real engineer, you've made some clever, paper-folding modifications that let your plane do a loop — or better yet actually land on target. Joerg Sparve has turned his eye towards those paper aircraft, and needless to say, the outcome can do damage. Read More >>
If you're going to prepare for a disaster, you might as well cover all the contingencies, and that's exactly what Joerg Spave has done. With a coating of rubber. Chances are slim you'd find yourself hunting game in a post-apocalyptic wilderness, but in theory, this crossbow slingshot would be the way to go. And in practicality, it's just clever design.

Slingshot lover and—let's face it—borderline maniac (in the best way) Joerg Sprave definitely took things to one extreme when he created an enormous slingshot cannon that fired ridiculous chainsaw halberds. Not to be outdone, even by himself, he's back at it with another ludicrous invention that goes with speed over size: a fully automatic slingshot mini gun. Really, what could top this? Read More >>

It's hard to imagine what kind of fairy tales a young German boy has to grow up with to inspire a life spent crafting a ridiculous slingshot-based arsenal, but Joerg Sprave seems particularly endeared to Hansel & Gretel. So to celebrate the upcoming film loosely based on that story, Joerg's created what has to be one of the scariest devices to ever come out of his armory: a massive bazooka that's able to behead whatever or whoever's in its sights.

Taking a small break from expanding his insane rubber band-based arsenal, slingshot master Joerg Sprave turns his attention to re-engineering duct tape, and other random accessories, into a trio of improvised weapons. Read More >>

Most New Year's revelers are happy to celebrate the occasion by watching the fireworks in London—or just getting completely blotto. But as we've discovered time and time again, Joerg Sprave isn't your average Joe. And to welcome 2013 with a bang—literally—he's created a special slingshot capable of launching firecrackers with gusto. Read More >>
Chemical warfare is generally frowned upon by the world at large, but stink bombs play an important role in any prankster's (read: jackasses') aresenal. The problem with stink bombs is, of course, collateral damage, specifically to the thrower. This custom-made bomb-launcher designed by Joerg Sprave would keep your nostrils safe from harm.

Watching watermelons and sheets of plywood meet their demise at the hands of a twisted slingshot creation is entertaining. But Joerg Sprave's latest creation, a custom crossbow bolt that's been modified to deliver a lethal dose of poison, is a little disheartening since it was created for killing, not just smashin' stuff.
