Steel balls. Now that sounds interesting. I'm hopeless with a catapult.

Bugger. I misread. I was so excited I was comparing it to an air rifle.

How does that compare anyway?

Bit higher than an air rifle but using a much heavier round over a shorter range. I bloodywell would not like to get twonked with a 38 calibre steel ball doing 400 FPSConfused

Not very professional video but the product looks great.

I'm not on the fence. I want one. Christmas is coming up if anyone is interested. Smile
