Manufacturing method of air slingshot

The manufacturing method of the air slingshot is as follows:

1. First draw a picture on paper and measure the dimensions of each part.

2. Cut out the drawing, put the pattern on the wood, and draw it with a pencil.

3. Draw several drilling points on the edge of the figure.

4. Go to the vise and saw the wood blank along the drilled hole.

5. Saw off the excess parts.

6. Cut the wood into the shape of a slingshot with a powerful knife according to the pattern drawn with a pencil in advance.

7. File shaping. The general shape came out.

8. The next step is the process of hand polishing.

Data expansion:

Slingshot became popular in 1970s and 1980s. Slingshot is a cold weapon or a game tool. Slingshot is generally composed of bow frame, rubber band and leather bag. It is usually a "ya" shape made of branches. Rubber bands are tied at both ends of the rubber band, and a piece of skin wrapped in a projectile is tied in the middle of the rubber band.

The strength of the slingshot depends on the tension and rebound speed of the rubber band. The greater the tension of the rubber band, the heavier the projectile that can be matched, and the faster the rebound speed of the rubber band, which can provide a larger initial velocity for the projectile. The heavier the projectile, the higher the muzzle velocity and the greater the power.

According to the launching mechanism, slingshots can be divided into bow slingshots and elastic slingshots. Bow slingshot has the most primitive bow slingshot and crossbow.

Rubber-band slingshots can be divided into traditional slingshots and modern slingshots, and their division principles should be based entirely on the presence or absence of sights and wrist rest labor-saving devices. For example, wooden slingshots and steel wire slingshots without sight belong to traditional slingshots, and the so-called "traditional bow" with sight formed by cutting or casting metal wire should be strictly classified into the category of modern bows.

Because in the whole world, before the development of horizontal grip aiming in China, no one or product popularized the principle of horizontal grip aiming. The earliest horizontal aiming was Wind of the King, which initiated the application and promotion of horizontal aiming in slingshot products and was the originator of horizontal aiming slingshot.

The typical bows of modern slingshots are relatively mature products such as sniper eagle, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Raptor. Of course, slingshots should also belong to modern slingshots according to the basic principles, but the development is too limited for legal reasons.
