Machete Slingshot

July 26, 2011 By Bradley Weber

The headline pretty much says it all, though the standard disclaimer applies: Don’t try this at home.

Machete Slingshot on YouTube

 

(Having some trouble embedding the video. I’ll figure this out soon. Meanwhile, click the link.)

Three things immediately come to mind —

1) How long has there been a “Slingshot Channel”?

2) How soon before the Machete Slingshot makes it into a movie?

3) It was kind of a cop-out for Goldfinger to be shooting at a defenseless piece of cardboard. He should have gone after something dangerous like a watermelon. Or a kitty.

Just sayin’ . . .

Tools for the Zombie Apocolypse

October 6, 2010 By Bradley Weber

Found this beauty while researching USMC bolo machetes for a little project that’s in the works.

You’re looking at the Condor CT-5 — a 22-inch machete cut from 1095 spring steel. (The good stuff, or so I read.) Figure in the full tang and overall length is 27.5 inches. Just the kind of quality instrument one best have when dealing with the undead. Or heavy jungle. Or Whatever.

My 6-year old was next to me while I was looking these over so, naturally, I had to explain what a machete was, how it was different from a sword, and why I wanted one.

The wife tells me, “You don’t need a machete.”

The kid tells her, “Sure he does!”

That’s my girl . . .

Also found something called a bush cutlass, which looks like a cavalry saber for ninjas. The knuckle guard is nice . . . so is the point. Good for getting at the brain through the eye socket. But will the narrow blade hold up against zombie skulls?

Guess there’s only one way to find out.

Look for more edged weapons and other survival gear here:

Just click the image and you’ll zip right over.
