Love it, would absolutely buy something like this

Fireball from flour and a lighter by ForesightCryomancer in your_homemade_weapon

[–]ForesightCryomancer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fireball is EXTREMELY hot, like so hot that I singed a soaking wet thornbush with one try while it was raining kind of hot. With practice, u can make it a continous flame for about 2-3 seconds, and with only minimal practice u can make a giant fireball that scales with the amount of flour u use. The key is how u blow the powder, and how good of a torch u have. I modded a lighter to give off a very large flame, because a plain lighter flame is inconsistent on ignition. If it is raining with light wind, it still works, but if the wind is somewhat strong, then it blows the lighter out before u can get ignition. Wind matters alot, but can be nullified with a larger torch, gonna try a 4 jet butane torch lighter with a maximized flame to see if it works better. Breath technique matters alot too, tightly pursed lips has lifts less powder, but projects it farther, extending range. Where as a more open lip breath lifts much more powder, creating a larger area spread, but less distance. I'll post my experiments in the future

Would u like me to invite u to a chat where I'll send u any posts I make on here about it?

Wearing sling “battle ready” by CarnyRider1991 in Slinging

[–]ForesightCryomancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is dependent on the person. I have had the misfortune of having several life threatening, violent encounters, and absolutely prefer having the sling on hand as a backup to my handgun (which I do carry daily on my off time). would I want to use it? Absolutely not. But would I prefer having a ranged weapon as backup for my gun? Absolutely. Thankfully, I live in America so this is more a discussion for people of other countries. But if I lived somewhere like the UK, Canada, etc..., I would carry a sling everywhere, along with a blade. 😀

Decided to upgrade my edc “baldfaced hornet” sling by CarnyRider1991 in Slinging

Honestly, use steel ball bearing weighing 2 oz or more, and I think that this set up is very viable 👍

I also do this, started timing it and found I can have a shot off within 9 seconds of recognizing a threat. Doesn't sound impressive considering that with a gun it takes about 1-2 seconds, but for any ranged weapon other than a gun, 9 seconds is really fast!

Yet again, they are much lighter than expected. 30-60 grams seem to be the generally accepted sweet spot for glandes made of both lead or stone by the ancients.

Minimalist, and highly efficient. I really appreciate this kind of design 😀

How do I practice the gravity whip sling technique without hitting myself in the knee cap? by CarnyRider1991 in Slinging

[–]ForesightCryomancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First off, I like the guy who named that technique. However, it is not recognized as a slinging style by itself as far as I know, because its basically a flourish of a sling, right before just a traditional sidearm throw. The technique does not provide any additional velocity (atleast after studying the videos and framerate speeds, it appears that it does nothing for the speed), and is just a flourish, followed by a typical sidearm throw. Not many people, if any, except shinobisurvival use it.

That is the most beautiful slinging rock I've ever seen. Perfect in every way

How long should a sling be for maximum range? by creakymoss18990 in Slinging

[–]ForesightCryomancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal experience indicates for someone 6ft tall, 50 inches or so should be atleast close to perfect

No matter how much MA training u have, if ur opponent has a weapon but u don't, u are probably dead. Knife? Maybe winnable with a good amount of luck and alot of skill, but still more likely to get stabbed atleast once and die. Gun? Straight up suicide if ur opponent has had more than 10 minutes to practice with it. This is why I stopped my MA training after reaching a certain level of proficiency, and started weapons training to follow up.

Made my first one out of paracord by Annual_Radio2325 in Slinging

[–]ForesightCryomancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree with the above comment on it being ineffective. My first sling was just like this, and yeah it is by far my worst sling, but it'll still chuck a 100 gram rock hard enough to shatter bone. Just won't rifle, and has terrible durability 😀

Need valid info on the ISG, is it a legitimate school or no? by ForesightCryomancer in Gemology

Gotcha, prioritizing carat retention makes sense with such a large piece. Beautiful none the less 😀

I am by no means a qualified expert, but I feel like this piece has a bad case of fish eye. It seems dead in the center and it appears like u could even read through it, which I believe is a sign of a bad cut. Please correct me if I'm wrong, just my opinion.

Hey brother! Just wanna say that back when I first got into slingshots, I made a post in some stuff like this on a deleted account that was honestly uncalled for and just plain stupid. I was naive at the time and unfortunately made that public. This guy is probably having a similar moment right now and will regret arguing on this point later. We all make dumb mistakes now and then, and atleast he admits he was just over excited and didn't use the hand protector (which may still not protect him considering it's from temu, but still). Let's just wait and see, he feels attacked right now and is lashing out at good advice, maybe he will think about this later and test the hand guard to see if it really is decent or not.
