OMG It is a pleasant surprise to see Tong-Ah and Pyunjeon review here! You see, Tong-Ah and Pyunjeon had been secret weapons for a few hundred years in my country (Korea). Pyunjeons, the short arrows launched via Tong-Ah have lots of advantages: 1. Pyunjeons are much faster than conventional arrows. In the recent tests performed using traditional bows, Pyungjeons marked 77~90m/s, while the conventional arrows did 60m/sec or less. 2. Pyunjeons fly much longer than conventional ones; they reach 500m or even more with traditional bows. 3. Pyeonjeons are more penetrative than conventional arrows. Whilst the weight of a Pyunjeon is 4/5 of a conventional arrow; its speed is 30% faster than a conventional one. This results in greater dynamic energy and penetration. A traditional record says that a Pyunjeon could kill 2 soldiers within 48m. 4. Since Pyunjeons are shorter (roughly a half) and lighter than conventional arrows, archers could carry more number of shots. 5. Enemies could not reuse Pyunjeons as they did not have Tong-Ahs. 6. As Pyunjeons are faster and smaller, it is very difficult for the enemies to follow their trajectory and react. Hope you enjoy my comments. Thanks!

the idea of a bow magazine that you can just use with any bow with zero installation sounds amazing. great idea! Something I've always thought about Joerg is that he is three professions in one, which is amazing. Usually you'd have and expert in engineering, fabrication, and assembler/mechanic . The engineer designs, the fabricator makes the parts, the assembler/mechanic puts them together and maintains them. Joerg does all three.

I look at it the other way. Craftsmanship has been shattered into engineering, fabrication, and assembly. The modern world is fractured, and it's part of why we're depressed.

Definitely would keep this in a dugout survival home .

This is what I enjoy the most about your Channel. Yes, I would like to see you make more cool stuff made in your workshop.

Traditional Tong-Ah (*Dutsal* in Korean) has a loop which hooks on your middle finger, therefore stays with your drawing hand. With practice, reloading with Pyunjun (*Aegitsal* in Korean) should be fairly quick.

This looks like a medieval Dai Viet crossbow. the fear of Chinese armor. Dai Viet's crossbow has a bow length of 1m2 and an arrow length of 30~45cm. The Ming people described the Dai Viet crossbow as having enormous damage in 300 steps. There were cases where arrows pierced two fighters equipped with full body armor at the same time

Hey there! It's great to see Jörg back in action, making videos like in the good old times. 😄 As for the Super Tong-Ah (Crab Bow on Steroids), it's a really interesting concept. The idea of having a versatile reloading device that can work with different bows is quite innovative. It's a nice blend of traditional and modern archery. I'd love to see more developments on this, maybe with a sleeker and more lightweight design. What do you think? Keep up the awesome work, and looking forward to more exciting videos from Jörg's channel! 👍

Love it. Would definitely buy it. One recommendation... A small thin handle to hold it in place before and after you draw the bow. So you could easily move around with it.

Excellent idea! I particularly like the thought that it could be usable for almost any bow, but of course you'd have to take the different draw lengths of the bows into consideration. If you went into production you could certainly count me in!

Not only shorter arrows or bolts, but much thinner arrows and bolts. This thinner arrows/b. can fly faster, a longer distance and can penetrate better and you maybe need no feathers (if they are more front heavy?)

This is such a simple design but absolutely blows my mind at how affective it is and how you’d even think up something like this!! Been watching your channel FOR YEARS mate and you never cease to amaze me!! 👏👏👏👏

If it can be quick detach it could possibly be a bow magazine with different kind of arrows. You are amazing as always.

03:19 "瞬速和弓" I'm korean... and Korea & Japan use old Chinese letters too. It means "순속화궁 - 瞬(blink) 速(fast speed) 和(and(compound...)) 弓(bow)"... & 和弓 also usually means Japanese bow. Have a nice day dear all~!

Joerg, i love your laugh. Its the inner child that lives within us all Great video!

This a thing of Beauty! Dein Erfindergeist ist unfassbar, Hut ab vor deinen Konstruktionen und Ideen!

Just had a dream where a defended position I was in had "turrets". In the turret there was a two man crew, one bringing preloaded magazines to the guy using the weapon. Which was a guy laying comfortably in an angled "bed". He has one of your repeating crossbows, but he draws it with his FEET. ! Everything else about the bow worked the same, but the bow was three times as powerful. It was mounted on a pivot, and once he had cocked it, he dropped his feet onto a couple of foot braces, which allowed him to aim the bow. Can't be shot off the tower himself because except for the firing slit, it is fully enclosed, so you can have the "mouth" of the turret project over the parapet.

Please continue developing it!

Pretty much the same as Korean repeating crossbows except this one is much harder to make with the materials at the time.

3:18 it says "rapid(fire) Japanese bow" (shunsokuwakyuu). Pyeonjeon was a shorter projectile that flied faster. Once landed on enemy formations they weren't "compatible" with their bows because their archers wouldn't have had the tong-ah and the necessary training to use them, let alone a sofisticated contraption you've used to shoot one.

I knew this was going to be next. I thought you and I talked about this a few years ago. Power of a full bow, launching a short bolt.

Just needs quicker access for the initial set up, and quicker way of detaching. Maybe even telescopic, so it shortens when not in use.

Beautiful bow, great improv on modification, love how u do both will put them on wish list maybe some day Santa will be nice to me anyhow phones dying, have to get back to volunteering assist on an weather damage rebuild, thanks for the vids please keep them coming

I would buy it! I have been following your channel for years. I can't afford an instant legolas bow so I've always had plans to build or 3d print one for myself. I use a Mongolian horse bow and would totally use something like that.

This is literally the device I was hoping you'd come up since the original over 3 years ago... I will 100% buy one if you sell them.

Ha! Wahnsinn was Du Dir so einfallen lässt. Mega! Hatte mal einen ähnlichen 2-Teiler-Bogen, als mich die "Ninjafase" in den 90ern in den Klauen hatte.

Would love to see the Legolas device made of carbon fiber; it would be simple to mount the foregrip/hook device on an aluminum rail for those who need a different draw length. Another fascinating video!

Love this idea. If it is adjustable it means even if you lost your bow, you could grab another & use the multi-shot.

I understand these are interests, hobbies. It is very interesting to look at such mechanisms and this is the first time I have seen it! Thanks!

Very cool !! Love the idea maybe a notch or a lever of some sort, up by the hand/finger hold, so it contacts the bow to release some tension on the draw. May also aid in on the fly sighting so to speak.

Thanks for another great video, Joerg! Thumbs up, now off to watch it!

瞬速和弓 Instant speed and bow (says google idk)

Tong-Ah has way more penetration power than long arrow. This means Pyunjun(short arrow) shot with Tong-Ah, a sort of long gun barrel, is more fatal in a battle. Korea has a long history of winning wars against her neighboring giant invaders and many believes Korea has had more ammunition power than her invaders. Incredibly strong power of Korean bows combined with Tong-Ah, a gunbarrel for arrows, brought advantages over less powerful bows with plain arrows shot without barrel. Check the power of Tong-Ah from many experiments on KZread. One of them is kzread.info/dash/bejne/daujxo-mYbzSfLQ.html&pp=gAQBiAQB

This is truly your strength, complete innovation and achieve it in such a simple and effective way!

Joerg, have you heard that you can increase your penetration if you use do a paper test and use an arrow tuning chart? Hunters have even hunted Elephants with a bow and arrow because they maximized its penetration. They also use Ashby's 12 principles of Terminal Arrow Performance. He did archery testing for over two decades with many different bows and arrows to find the best penetration. He sells an arrowhead that takes all that into consideration, but I would personally just buy cheap arrowheads that take advantage of the same physics principles that he discovered.

Would love a medieval version of this by Tod. This is the kind of device rich people back then would have loved.

Hey Joerg, I would love it if you could simply attach it to the bow with, for example, a leather strap or even better with a piece of tension strap

I can imagine this is what our world would have looked more like if in another timeline we never discovered gunpowder

Father Grigori preparing for hunting headcrabs. 🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪

You and ek archery should create a mini instant legolas using the pistol crossbow limbs

You where born 500 years too late. Could have changed history with that invention. Great ingenuity 🙏

As a korean who is also baby arrow fan, i appreciate this a lot. Thank you, german man who laughs.

I always liked the mag bow designs but always wanted detatchable and this is really cool!

A adjustable mount that slides a few inches along the base of the Legolas to allow for different length of draw

It's interesting cause my mother would always tell me stories of the why they used the "baby" arrows. Apparently they were quicker, making them more deadly and they couldn't be cut out of the air by skilled swordsmen unlike normal arrows. That last part might just be for the cool factor but it's nice to know the stories of my childhood are reaching a wider audience.

Yes. Please continue this project. Perhaps add a Teflon strip to the inside to decrease rubbing against an expensive bow.

on many 3D-Archery grounds in my area, Compound Bows are prohibited. .. so having an instand legolas for a "normal" bow would be really awesome! On top of that, as someone who only does archery with medival bows, I would love if you can make it "adjustable" it, so it the takes thicker wood arrows.

Yes yes please make a streamline lightweight one! Dan S. From Michigan and Texas

Dankeschoen for the smile. Pretty cool, and fun.

This is so practical. Survival, hunting and fun. Even for beginners. Especially if you have different bows and crossbows.

i would love this sort of thing for my traditional bow.

Love it! Yes. This should be made available for purchase.

WOW! Please work with one of your business contacts to have such a device made that can adopt to a variety of bows -- including takedown bows -- instead of specifically needing to use it with a compound bow. I would love to be able to use with with my Primal Gear Compact Folding Survival Bow.

Heck yeah 👍. That's an awesome idea. If you make it, people will buy it!!

I would've sworn the "Instant-Legolas" was already in the market! Of course Jörg! Who wouldn't want one? 👍🏼😃

Did I ever tell you you are a genius.

A quick-detach instant legolas. Now I've seen it all

I have to say this: Jörg is a genius. It's not a surprise, that he is from Germany. Anything they do in Germany has good functionality and quality. I guess they are all engineers 😉

modern pulling mechanism + Tonga style arrow rail + Chukonu style magazine ...

Old Korean bows are compact and powerful, but noticeably weaken during rainy season (due to humidity). Koreans sometimes coated the bows with poison ivy sap to prevent weakening.

Brilliant design...!!!...Yes, I would either like one or to build one...!!!

if you put a locking sliding front claw on it to adjust the attachment to the drawlength of the individual bow this will be a game changer and probably sell really well 😁👍

@JoergSprave Can you weaponize some 3d printed rifles? I'm thinking about something like a sniper rifle powered by compressed air with a magazine like a revolver. Your channel pushed me to become an engineer years ago. Does German law allow bullets loaded onto short barrels connected to a rotating magazine, where the bullet is loaded onto the barrel of the magazine but exits from another larger barrel? It would be cool. Reloading could look like in a normal sniper rifle, moving the bolt back with the magazine, rotating the magazine and inserting the bullet into the larger barrel. According to my interpretation, bullets are placed on the barrel, so such a gun is a toy, the whole thing has a second barrel system, but the shot takes place in the first one.

Your repeating mechanism could have been a history-changing invention if it had existed historically.

Cool ideia. I still think the adder is your most elegant design, though

This is already invented in Korean called a repeating crossbow

Mr Sprave, you are a genius

You're a smart thinker and a good engineer. Amazing ideas.

Always love your work.

The song is so addictive, and the song of the arrow hitting the target too

Cool invention. It is clear that there is groundwork for development. Lighten the design, use other materials to make it lighter. I think it's important to think about arrow magazine design. Maybe a tape or a drum?

Where you fit the string in the mechanism with the lever, instead of the hook lever method you could mount a sprung ball bearing into the handle recessed so string pops in and out witha bit of pressure but held in place and have a cleaner look as you would not see it as it would be hidden in the small gap.

Hey, Joerg...it's Hallowe'en - aren't you going to SHOW US IT'S CREATURES! 😃😃😃

I think a problem with this unmounted SIL for many archers using asiatic bows would be the draw length. Because of the grip you lose like 3 to 4 inches in contrast to a thumb draw, so most people might end up with a 28" draw instead of a 31" one. Since many bows in this style of archery are designed to be drawn out that far - and even report their poundage for "full" draw instead of the western 28" - using this device would severely reduce the power you get out of the bow. However, for longbows or even horse-bows with 28" draw design, this looks like much fun! Cool idea, as always.

I really like this idea. Love the features.

Yes, I want one!! Incredible stuff you make.

Würde einen kaufen! 👍🏻 wäre toll wenn die in die Serienfertigung gehen würden.

Would be interesting to see how you can walk around with it without taking the string out. Because you can tilt the Legolas system (because it is not bolted to the bow). So you can potentially walk around with it being just the size of the bow with the Legolas parallel to the bow, then as soon as you want to shoot it you grab the Legolas perpendicular to the bow and shoot.

Hallo Jörg, das ist eine erhebliche Verbesserung des "Instand Legolas", da ein "Quick-Detach" bisher gefehlt hatte. Und das das Pfeilmagazin damit universal mit nahazu jedem Bogen verwendbar ist, rundet das Ganze weiter ab. Ein Optimierungsvorschlag noch: Es bringt nichts, einen Bogen schnell auf Rucksackgröße reduzieren zu können, wenn man dann noch 120cm Pfeilmagazin außen anbringen muss. Daher sollte das Pfeilmagazin ebenfalls easy zu verkürzen sein, durch falten oder durch ineinander schieben - und zwar ohne Schrauben drehen zu müssen. Das Pfeilmagazin sollte im Transportzustand voll geladen sein können, also halblange Bolzen entweder ganz vorne oder ganz hinten im Magazin positioniert.
