Racoonapult is almost complete

Dec 3, 2016 11:47 PM

22 rows of 3/4inch marine bungee cord

2000lb winch cable connected to pulleys

Rear view

Fail safe bar incase things go to shit when tensioning the arm

Close up view of bungie bundle

Rebuilt trigger....... This time it won't break.

The pivot is 3/8ths inch bolt

I guess good for getting 'racoons' across trump's wall..

pretty sure a video demonstration would count as animal cruelty, but good luck nonetheless. I've wanted to build a ratapault

Ok, but please. Don't use the neighbor's cat for testing.

Can it launch a 95 kilogram stone projectile over 300 yards? I didn't think so.

Seriously? Are you gonna slingshot a racoon? If so, you need help. Laughing at animal abuse? Says all about you.

You only start with raccoons until it grows up and can launch 90kilo projectiles.

It has to work first and once I start catfishing I'll be able to test it out
