One of the most common FAQs: Can you shoot paintballs with the slingshot? Well, the obvious answer is: Sure, why not.
But today, The Slingshot Channel takes the challenge one step further. Can a handheld, conventional slingshot exceed the power of the best commercially available paintball markers?
The legal limits for tournament paintball range between 212 fps (Germany) and 300 fps (international). 300 fps, or 92 m/s, is pretty fast for a rubber based weapon.
But an extremely tapered bandset and a super lightweight pouch do the trick . the slingshot exceeds 336 fps (102,5 m/s)! This would make it illegal on a licensed paintball range.
See the impact of the super fast paintballs in slow motion!
