The "SHTF" condom slingshot is now an official contestant at the Ghetto Challenge. Here:

http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/09-10-g ... 19831.html

This means that proof is needed to show that the construction lasts at least five shots. So The Slingshot Channel did another video about some shooting with the "SHTF" slingshot. Not only did it last five shots, it also cracked a coconut!

Haha, i am willing to bet the vatican would dislike this very much :D:D

Good job, I don't know how the hell people manage to break these things, if they can lanch a ball through a coconut, what the hell must you be doing to make em rip when used as advised on the packet.

Also Joerg, next challenge is a condom slingshot with a dildo fork using a G-string for the kinky and tie :D

Also imagin the ad from durex:

Condoms can save anyone's life! (followed by display of a slut and crocodile hunter)

Wanted to make a small, but powerful slingshot today.

So I took a 10mm stainless steel rod and formed a "U". Then I attached (welded) a steel ring to the fork, as the sole grip! I put black tube over the fork for a more pleasant grip.

Thera Band Black, 20cm long, 14x9cm wide - really fast!

Two answers will cover 99% of condom breakage...

1) Use of chemically incompatible lubricants.
2) Sabotage.

That's really quite disgusting...

Well, I had to cut off the condom butts because I found it too revolting as well. Now it looks like normal rubber... kind of. But it still smells like... well, you know how it smells like.

...latex and lubricant...


Is there any reason that you suddenly had an excessive amount of condoms and had to find other uses for them? :P

Sure! They finally delivered my 4XL types, previously I had to stick to the 3XL ones. Those are now obsolete.

Bye bye tightness! Aaah, finally.
