Ah, the eternal hunt for power...

I still have these 130 g 30mm steel balls. If I can shoot them at 60 m/s, that would be 270 Joules, almost 200 ft/lbs, more than a .380 ACP round (9mm kurz). That's the goal.

Of course that can't be done with a conventional slingshot.

So I am planning to do make a special crossbow with a permanently attached winch. The winch will pull the entire trigger/lock part to the cocked position. The trigger/lock assembly will slide inside of a rail frame, so the cable can be attached straight with no "sled canting".

I will experiment with the rubber to max out the power.

Will be a brutal weapon!

More power. Love it.

would it not be better to use lead instead of steel ammo, there will be less air resistance for the weight enabling a easier/more powerful set up?

sounds like a great idea, will you use a 'saw tooth' style crank to keep it held in place?

looking forward to seeing this produced, you always do a great job

Hi,

Instead of a winch you could load it like on this video...

Here is the winch set up on a reg. ballista (inswinger of course). It is a little more fancy but does the same thing. Perhaps you can get a few ideas. http://www.wattsunique.com/blog/

All in all though, a reg crossbow winch oughta do. Parker has a nice one.
