    I can see it now: “Saw: Locked and Loaded.”

    The Slingshot Channel!

    I have to admit, I did not see this trend coming.

    When I was a kid some people I won’t name used to shoot cats with bb guns. This is taking things to an entirely new level. RARaw!By By Pussy cat!

    Someone must have denied Joerg the chance to play with a slingshot as a kid, and now he’s making up for it in a big way…

    This is too dangerous of a weapon to put in the hands of civilians.

    We need to outlaw rubber bands and circular saw blades now!

    Better yet, we need to place them under the control of the ATFE — ATFERBCSB

    1st I thought wow he still has all his fingers.

    2nd At least he is wearing eye protection. That will stop the saw blade from doing any damage.

    Then after watching the whole clip..Kind of lame. It can “kill a watermelon at 5ft” wow what technical prowess. How about I mount a sawblade to a 5ft stick and beat the crap out of the watermelon instead. I’m more likely to walk away with all my fingers.

    Someone has way too much time on their hands.

    The DU headlines merge:

    Either Unreal or Quake (computer games) had a gun that shot circular saw blades that rebounded off walls. It had a electric mechanism to spin-up the blade and a lever to fling it out of the chamber. He needs to replace his peg and rubber bands with that sort of mechanism in his next prototype.
