Innovations and Upgrades
Joerg Sprave is known for his continuous innovation and relentless pursuit of perfection in his slingshot designs. The latest iteration of the pencil crossbow, dubbed the “Nerd Revenge 2000,” features several significant upgrades. One of the most notable improvements is the use of doubled-up rubber bands, which provide increased power and velocity. This enhancement allows the crossbow to shoot pencils with greater force, making it even more formidable.
Additionally, Sprave has designed new, specifically made arrows that are optimized for the crossbow. These arrows are more aerodynamic and stable in flight, ensuring better accuracy and penetration. The combination of these new arrows and the enhanced rubber bands makes the “Nerd Revenge 2000” a truly impressive piece of homemade weaponry.
Other Creations and Experiments
Joerg Sprave’s creativity doesn’t stop at the pencil crossbow. He has a wide array of other fascinating and inventive slingshot-based weapons. For instance, he has experimented with a Cold Steel blowgun and a homemade rubber-based “Hawaiian Speargun.” These creations demonstrate his ability to adapt and innovate with different materials and designs.
In one of his videos, Sprave tests the Cold Steel “Voyager” against a Zombie Head simulating coconut, as well as a “meat shoe.” These tests are not only entertaining but also provide valuable insights into the effectiveness and power of his creations. The video also features the performance of the Cold Steel Shillelagh against coconuts in super slow motion, showcasing the destructive potential of these weapons.
