"The Perforation Of Smaug" Part 1
Ғылым және технология
Part 2: • Hunting Dragons With T...
In order to celebrate the upcoming "Five Year Anniversary" of The Slingshot Channel, a very special project was launched: A rubber based interpretation of Girion's tower mounted Anti Smaug Double Crossbow Ballista!
Tolkien's original story has the plot: Girion, the last Lord of Dale, tried to kill Smaug when the fearsome dragon first arrived at the Lonely Mountain and destroyed the nearby human kingdom. The huge ballista fired long, black arrows, but they all got deflected by the scales of the dragon skin - except the very last one, which destroyed one of the scales but failed to kill the beast. Dale was devastated and became the Desolation of Smaug.
150 years later, Bilbo Baggins noticed the missing scale and duly told Bard the Bowman, a descendant of Girion. Bard shot an arrow into this one vulnerable spot and killed Smaug.
The giant double crossbow ballista is shown very briefly in the extended versions of the two first episodes of "The Hobbit" that are out by now - in fact, only a few frames can be seen. It is expected that the third movie will have a lot of additional coverage though.
From the few scenes, it already comes clear that the weapon is windlass operated, fires huge black arrows, and can be freely aimed in all directions. Further, it can be handled by just one man.
This is the goal of the current project.
This first video introduces the weapon and one of the test arrows, plus the test "dragon scales", a half inch furniture grade plywood board armored with stainless steel. The second part will contain all of tests and will be filmed in the presence of a camera team that will film for a North American TV channel. That part will be published on Jan. 22nd, 2014.
Stay tuned!
A "The Slingshot Channel" production.

Shyguy Gamer The tank does not explode from the outside unless a triggered ammunition explosion but for a Cheap 1 layer armor tank the crew just face shrapnel or burns and shrapnel depending on how the projectile will be made of and hitting the engine causes a fire and the gas tank so don't expect a cool explosion because it ignited the fuel but the engine does not explode since it is a combustion engine you may say it is when fuel and air are mixed and hit the spark plug causes the combustion but since you burned the fuel well it makes a fire and the fire requires air meaning no explosion and do not hate if I got this wrong this is just me explaining

What a weapon!!! Someone needs to make a video game about you, it could be like a 3D Tower Defense game where all the defense weapons you buy are made of wood and rubber, also the Players default character is you with a slingshot and they control you I would buy that. Make it happen Joerg!!!

well given that dragon skin is built to stop small fast moving projectiles and not big sharp pointed slow moving but hard hitting spears i think it would easily penetrate this is one time where normal hard plate armor would be better and not the many over lapping plates of dragon skin

There is a bodkin point to defeat armor. Quite a ballista you have there!
OMG that's not a crossbow that's artillery. And I thought my crossbow with 140 ft/lbs kinetic energy was powerful. The momentum that arrow must have when it leaves the muzzle must be immense. I'm just making an educated guess here but it must weigh like 10,000gr with a velocity of around 250fps, which will give it around 1388 ft/lbs kinetic energy, that's scary. It's more energy than a .44 magnum. Your new toy is one of my favourites :-)
