Dear KZhead Rater, this video is about a crossbow, not about firearms. Therefore it is OK for monetization. Thanks!

They shouldn't call it a crossbow. I mean, they've done away with the cross and the bow. They should call it a boltcaster.
Arrowgun
Amaru Coiz boltcaster sounds better
i mean a composite bow is still a bow, this is just a compact composite crossbow.
Misty King A bow is named after it’s shape though, and a crossbow expands further upon the same naming sceme.
@@LeetMoviez a composite how still looks and functions the same as a normal bow though
We all know he's going to buy another one, strap it onto this one, somehow make it half the draw weight shoot 43 arrows at once and violate multiple geneva conventions but is somehow still legal in Germany
That's what makes him awesome.
It is a little known fact that in 2018 aliens planned on taking over the Earth until they learned about Joerg. Then they turned their flying saucers around and vowed to never return.
@@cyberingcatgirls7069 Joerg is a close relative of Chuck Norris
Guns in Germany are forbidden but we don’t have any laws against Cross Bows (•_•)/
Lmao
it's scary how powerful this thing sounds, and it looks beautiful, such a masterful piece of engineering and this video showing it off is fantastic
I feel like the hand crank could be motorized or automated somehow but that would probably make the crossbow a lot less silent.
If your gonna do that just get a gun lol
@@willw5868 Because you automate the cocking, that some how negates the point of having a bolt caster/crossbow and some how makes it a gun equivalent? I get the feeling you've never shot a gun or a crossbow, let alone a bow and arrow .
@@thaphreak there’s no functional application of a crossbow. Despite what you guys may say, it has literally 0 practical application compared to a firearm. Except maybe that you could potentially make one yourself in the wild, which obviously is not a relevant point to the discussion of motorized crossbows. However crossbows and bows and such are cool, because you are firing the projectile nothing but your own strength. If you take that away by adding a motor and batteries and crap then the nothing novel or cool about it anymore imo. If your only goal is fire a projectile the easiest most efficient way possible, just get a gun. I’ve shot bows and arrows, I’ve shot guns. I know they aren’t the same thing (duh) my point is just that I don’t see the purpose of a motorized crossbow when guns exist. Your taking away the interesting cool part of the bow.
@@willw5868 I get where you're coming from in the fact that guns are much more effective and practical but IMO saying "there's no functional application" isn't true as crossbows and bows have plenty of uses when it comes to hunting. Firing a gun will clear out any wild animal in like a 2 mile radius. Yeah you can use a suppressor but they'll never be whisper quiet on anything larger than a handgun or submachine gun with specialized subsonic rounds. A bow or crossbow won't have that same "HEY EVERYONE, THERE WAS A LOUD ASS NOISE HERE SO LET'S ALL SCATTER AND GO IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE FOREST" effect on animals. Which is why I mentioned the sound a motor might have in my original comment.
@@mymilkshake001 the sound of a motor good enough to pull and last would still not be as loud as a gun, or at least not as startling. Definitely ways to make that work.
Someone: *breaks into his house* Joerg, behind them: "hahaha. Let me show you its FEATURES"
I don't know which is more overused, this joke? Or your mom?
I'm an idiot, Also you’re username is amazing, I can’t refute anything you have to say.
It will be like in Indiana Johns movie.
KZhead will not get any better unless comments like this disappear and comment section has video related comments again
@@Sierrq its overused and overdone in that order
The manufacturer doesn't recommend you do that Jeorg. Joerg: I'm going to do exactly what everybody will do in reality.
Lol don’t you just reading a comment as it happens in the video
He actually understands.
I lost your channel a few eyrs ago with a profile swap, you have no idea how big my smile was when you said "Let me show you it's features!" missed you and your enthusiasm.
Joerg thanks for including the production errors in your introduction of this fascinating new design for a "cross" bow. That was funny! This is a very good demonstration of the Lancehead bow. I am now really wanting one! Your English is excellent. Really enjoyed your review of this new bow.
This man's laugh is an antidepressant.
It's like meth for me.
He has a unique laugh.
It's great
_LET ME SHOW YOU IT'S FEATURES_ *_AH HAH HAH HAH_*
but we never know if himself is depressed
"So the limbs are like the starter springs in a lawnmower." I sense a new build opportunity
Lawnmower engine powered repeating crossbow? YES YES YES
That would be too simple for him.
Weed wacker engine would be better if you ever want to hold the damn thing, also he’s already made a rubber based drill powered full auto crossbow, that I think is where he really started getting into the hole repeating bow idea
he needs to make a repeating automatic riding lawn mower crossbow
pretty much just a lawnmower equipped with an arrow turret
Wow! Incredible weapon! What power! Thanks for sharing this! Love your videos and all the things you create! I myself am a welder and love to create different things from other things. Haven’t built many weapons, I’ve built effective rodent traps. Just love taking something that only existed in my mind and one day it becomes an actual object and the one you imagined. Thanks again you are an inspiration and I appreciate the work and time you put into your videos. Thanks again, take care, stay safe and healthy!
Its nice and all but I think ill just stick to my porridge canon.
@@cameronbartlett6593 Awsome!! Funny because I had to look it up ! Never heard of a porridge cannon! Lmao 🤣! Pretty gross but an effective weapon none the less. And you learn something new every day, never expected that would be today’s lesson, but thanks I now know! Lol!
That thing is really cool, I read about it a week or two ago so I was excited to see your video
When you walk in a forest and a tree starts to laugh in German.
Then you hear in a thick German accent, "let's test the new legolas I built"
oh Scheisse
ikea pencils start whizzing by your head
Me:laughs in chainsaw
When you walk in a forest and a tree calls out to you in a German accent "Let me show you these features!"
Joerg: it isn't very often that someone makes an advancement in archery that is truly revolutionary Me: except you every other week. So humble. Much respect, sir.
Well, the instant legolas was one revolution, he just made new designs and perfected it later Still humble though
Only one change lmao!!
@@iamwhatitorture6072 I appreciate your pedantry, but it was a partially a joke and mostly appreciation for Joerg. Although he is constantly coming up with awesome designs - even if they don't all 'revolutionize archery.'
Such a civil comment section. Good job folks
I think the state of the art for archery is .338 Magnum Lupa...
You should buy a tournament target from pressed straw. I´t´s usable for everything knives, bolts even slingshot ammo. I once saw a shot of an arrow through 4 car doors with a 60 lbs bow and it made no difference in the target behind it.
I love your enthusiasm a company that gets you to rep it is smart cuz i don’t think anyone could do it better
"As you hear, you hear nothing." Zen mastery right there.
"What is the sound of a crossbow with no cross?"
@@existenceisrelative Take a bow...
Wie sie sehen, sehen sie nichts. A legendary German quote.
'Si ton Ton-ton tond ton Ton-ton, ton Ton-ton tond ton Ton-ton'. French, but I digress...
@@michaelarnold417 For banging de drums?
Her: He's probably thinking about other girls Him: how can I justify buying one of these
I swear, Joerg could sell a plastic spork to a millionaire, sand to an Arab, wood to a tree or a bomb to an air... wait, that's not supposed to be here?!
take up hunting
"Covid-19 victims are turning into vampires, dear! It's true!"
Him: Honey I swear to God, the Deer was bigger than a Semi Truck
He's thinking about its features
Great video. Your videos always make me smile. You're such a happy guy. Its infectious.
Came for Joerg showing exquisite and heavy cross bolt tech, stayed because your cat is so adorable.
"Typical Slingshot Channel style." Never change, Joerg. Never change
Joerg.. Joerg never changes!
This cocking "mechanism" is begging for Joerg style rework. I believe in your crazy inventor mind! ♥
Yeah, can't wait for the compact version of the instant legolas !
Dont you see? Thats why he reviewed it in the first place
I agree. A pump cock like shotgun would work a lot better. It would be even better if there was a 6 bolt mag adapted to it.
brushless motorpack quickcocker
its begging for an instant legolas innovation!
Joerg we appreciate all ur effort in sharing the best in bows
It looks like I'm not the only one late for the show. What a cool piece of equipment!
From the Lancehead website: "We do not ship to international customers." Joerg must have had a special treatment ;)
Or through a reseller that does ship international
Well, he is a licensed arms-dealer sooo... And I guess beeing him also makes things easier. Or would you as a manufacturer decline, if Jörg himself wants to buy your product.
free advertisement, why regret it?
@@Kremit_the_Forg Cause it's illegal...and they don't want to face fines.
@@alexubel I don't know the exact legal reasons, but I guess because he is a licensed dealer there is an way. For example: A weaponlight in germany is illegal for a privat person. A licensed arms-dealer can however purchase those but can only sell them to LE/Military.
Imagine being a deer just waking trough the woods....and than you hear a crazy German voice : "let me show you it's features..hahahahah"
Too funny 😊
I read the quote in his voice 😄
"Let me show you its features! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Lmfao. Horror in the woods haha.
Some guy would rob him and he would be like _"LET ME SHOW YOU ITS FEATURES"_
his laugh is the best truly
I totally love your passion on the subject Sir. God bless you Sir, Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year. Peace VF
what would be really interesting in these videos would be to have a section that shows using them in semi-active situations of no talk but necessity, in other words loading firing, loading, firing, as if in the wild. I don't know if that makes sense. I enjoy this channel, and your sense of humour.
Hope everyone is doing well in these crazy times. We need Joerg to keep us sane.
when the virus turns the infected into Zombies we will need Jeorg to keep us safe
if you look to this man for sanity.... god help you
While everybody else is buying toiletpaper, we've been binch watching Joergs back catalogue of videos ... We are prepared for anything!
@@blameusa7082 What a fitting username too, tells a lot about you... Im gonna guess....average Joe , making minimum wage(or perhaps below that), living in an single apartment(If I had to bet i'd say most likely with your parents)
You people are silly. The virus started with bats so it will turn you into a vampire not a zombie. Stay away from anyone that glitters or bursts into flames in sunlight.
Damage : 100% Reload time : 5%
😂😂😂😂
More like 400% damage
90% damage
they should’ve added the winch into the design internally
Size 50%
wie geht es dir Bruder.... Great channel i SUBed! That crossbow was so powerful that i did not even see the bolt fly when shot!!!! Amazing keep up the good work
Just love you Juergen!!! Thanks for all of these vids
“We are no pussies at the slingshot channel” I can confirm that
Love it.
1:45 "and we have the de-cocking bolt"
_" Today we'll be looking at the Starship Trooper Legolas... Would you like to know it's features?"_ That's rather amazing... *Expensive,* but amazing.
You sir, are one of the most jolly Germans I have seen. You sort of remind me of my (passed) Opa with your constant humor. Him, he was full of both conventional jokes and a master of dark humor due to his upbringing and certain not so nice things he witnessed in his childhood.
This guy seems so nice and pleasant. I would absolutely hang out with him and just listen to him talk firearms and crossbows.
"I missed!" "It's okay, I'll reload, you can try again tomorrow!"
😂😂😂😂
This is the musket of crossbows.
This is an innovation, first muskets where a pain in the ass now look at ars and 12 gauges. Give this about 100 years and I guarantee some dude will make some sort of full auto arrow shooter
Lol
@@TheElectricalNut there's no "h" in were you donut.
I'm just waiting for the day when you invent a cocking system that let's you reload this thing like Arnold on a motorcycle.
"Today I am introducing a magazine and cocking system I have made for the Lancehead F1..." "LET ME SHOW YOU ITS FEATURES!"
Would need to be as strong as a T800 to operate such a weapon.
someone will either make a auto electric reload, that doesn't require you to put the manual device in or a pump like the repeating crossbows he's selling. Using it like a normal crossbow, by using the foot to hold it down, while pumping with hands. He said it was easy to cok it, when the device was inserted, so it shouldn't be too hard to improve it. Maybe cut it to like 20 seconds.
136 J out from 64cm stroke, means the draw weight can't really be over 140#. It should be possible to just replace that crank with a straight 2-hand pulling handle.
@@prebenkul how much more weight can you put on that beast before it becomes truly unwieldy?
Amazing design. Wish I could go back to Germany, such a beautiful place and nice people.
Love this guy, totally live. I like when the case falls off the table. Drop test!
0:12 "it doesn't happen really often that someone invents a new revolutonary thing in the world of archery and crossbow" dude you dont know how wrong you are. You should check out the channel Joergsprave. He makes invention on those subjects every wee... Oh wait. But seriously have some self respect
Then that mean we are blessed by being witness to at least 2, with 1 step by step. Glorious.
I think what he meant to say was "it doesn't happen very often that someone ELSE invents a new revolutionary thing" haha! As far as I am concerned @JeorgSprave, you are one of the top leading archery/arrow propulsion experts in the world. Keep up the good work!
@@alexmeyer3296 i dont think that. He doesn't have self respect
So true :D but hey he's just humble I think
Not gonna lie, you had me for a moment
He's such a nice guy, he dropped his own 2000 $ equipment and said sorry to us 👏😅
@Peace Seeker r/imamoron
@Peace Seeker But like, 1. It isn't he diclosed he isn't sponsored and bought it himself 2. If he was making an advertisment he would a) Cut that part out b) say how durable it is so you are just wrong
@Peace Seeker whatever makes you sleep better
damn the box costs $2000? news to me
German
Joerg, this is the coolest crossbow I have ever seen in my entire life, thank you for showing it to us 😊
Hi joerg, what's the weight distribution like? Most crossbows are notoriously front-heavy, I'm wondering how it compares to a standard or reverse draw crossbow
11:00 "This is my instant Kitten, let me show you it´s features!"
He forgot to say that about the BOW!
🤣
When showing off the pulleys, I half expected to see Destin to jump into frame and yell "Snatch Block" :-)
Wahaha because what's more awesome than a snatch block? 2 snatch blocks!
RotorScout SNATCH. BLOCK. WOOO!
XD I love how I'm in on this joke
Lol CTFU blocked snatch block guy. I want to see this crossbow mounted with his repeating platform he made with a electric drill motor and battery to reload it... Then it would be a high powered repeating quick bow of death would be the best thing ever!
It's a beauty, and I wish you luck on the repeating version of it I'm hoping the company that made it works with you on designing the repeating version of it, and I wonder how that would work with solid stainless steel heavy bolts rather than carbon fiber or fiberglass
Awesome presentation thank you for the great work Sir
I can’t wait to see how Jorge will make this thing semi auto.
Might aswell just make a gun at that point.
@@whyumad_ it would translate to about a .22lr cartridge going off kinetic energy. However you can put special high damage bolt heads on it and would leave a larger wound than a .22lr
with an electric winch...
@@fregs8122 or at the very least a winch you don't need to detach
@@flightlesschicken7769 yeah, the only drawback I saw for this was the reloading process. My grandfather's Sten was faster
I think this deserves a new category. Like "coilbow." It isn't a crossbow.
Peter Smythe it’s not a cross and it’s not a bow lol. It’s an arrow launcher
If there is no limb, how can it be a bow?
I like "bolt-thrower".
There are limbs tho their just in a weird format, just so bowed/coiled that they are incased in a drum thing
@@baragent Who doesn't? :) For Victory!
this guy is THE BEST!!! i never laughed so hard at a box falling off a table.. love the way this guy laughs
please dont ever stop making videos you crazy, crazy viking
God I love this guy. He’s as authentic of a person as they come.
A lot of germans are this way
Joerg: "this is a crossbow, not a gun" Also Joege: "This is the best gun case I've ever seen"
It’s called a gun case
Gun CASE. Not a "gun" in it. Tommy guns in a violin case? KelTec Sub 2000's in a back back? Yeah.
Gun case is a generic term.
@Frank Blackcrow He could have called it a crossbow wallet.
@Frank Blackcrow He could have called it a crossbow portmanteau
I keep hearing the nature around you.thats awesome.
This is quite an ingenious design. A more compact weapon; easier to carry. Also it looks cool! I don't know about putting the bolt in with my fingers though, I'm super paranoid around such things, accidents do happen, your cajones are bigger than mine. :D
Such a jolly man. Truly, he is the Santa Claus of death.
Santa's elves are curiously absent, although l suspect that they perhaps passed away whilst doing what they loved. Or at the very least doing what the big fellow loves.
After the elves made all the toys santa had to test them on moving targets 😆
Hohohoe i'm about to bring pain!
santa *claws*
@@SofaKingShit I feel like this reply hasn’t gotten the appreciation it deserves
I can imagine the combination of this tec with the instant legolas
I can't
I hope he does it
I'm eagerly awaiting herr Sprave showing me its features.
Can't wait 😁
It would still take 60 seconds to draw.
At least you tested the case too! Awesome video!
Thanks for converting the units to fps, gr, and ft-lb. Clearly you know how much americans love weapon content on YT.
When you're making a cable machine for your gym, but you accidently make a crossbow.
It was inevitable - the crossbows inspired the Bowflex, and in turn, cable machines inspired crossbows
I would give anything to hear Joerg say, "To crush your enemies... To see them driven before you... And to hear the lamentations of their women!"
this all day
I reckon he sounds like the Reverend from Ravensholm in Half life 2.. I do understand that it's entirely likely that this game predates most viewers here, meaning the reference may be lost on them.. ;)
@@genelomas332 plus the people who never played any of the Half-Lifes like myself.
Lol
@J C Do you want to live forever?
I liked and subscribed after the box fell. You could have edited it out, or shot another video, but no. You kept it honest and I appreciate that.
Thanks for the video! Very informative
Joerg will reproduce this for $49.99 out of plywood😂
Using the power of RUBBER!
Mr. Dmitri Ravenoff don't put it passed him, he's probably already made one.
@@MrDmitriRavenoff or compressed air
Joerg you are the BEST!!!!! I love that you didn't edit out the flop 😂 you are the most real person on KZhead and without question my favorite and probably only person I don't know but genuinely care about. You're the best man! 😃👍
You are awesome my friend... you don't need sponsored... I respect for that... by the way you are genius in kind of product
Nice innovation, It would be nice if the company could have put a receiver in the bottom an forward to fit a tripod in it to steady ones shot if laying prone. Nice video, what a good sense of humor and smiles. Thank you.
This man is on a very, very small list of humans who are absolute international treasures. Thanks Jeorg!

This deserves more likes :/
Well not that mutch slower then a windlass but yea...its kinda can only be used by hipster hunters. So expensive compared to a okey rifle.
Thanks for that comment
Isn't rate of fire and reload kinda the same thing...
@@LostOnceLefthanded For a crossbow yeah or any other single fire weapon.
I ❤ this guy ... I watch all his videos .. mainly to hear his laugh ... but also informative .👍
Like the design, looks like it could be used as a delivery system for an explosive bolt. Slow to reload but looks like it has good power as a launcher.

🤔
@@dwightpries8330 Ja!
I think Joerg is actually Q... Only 007 tells HIM to grow up.
$2000 is a decent price for that, I've seen some crossbow prices get absolutely ridiculous
It is the ugliest crossbow I have ever seen by a long way. I would not let you pay me to buy it.
@@Jafmanz If you put aesthetics over functionality you shouldn't be buying one in the first place :)
Jimbob Tabernacle 2000 is crazy, yeah it's kick ass but I have a 400 dollar crossbow at home that shoots just fine, no way in hell is it worth the x5 markup
😂
@@cod6guy12 I don't Nor have I given you any reason to think so. Functionaly this bow is ugly as well. So much so that to anyone who shoots bows it is hardly worth mention. A tenpoint stealth makes this thing look like an underpowered,overpriced moron magnet.
I didn't know such a thing existed, well made vid thanx!.
Great job making stuff, you are way cooler than anyone I know, including myself, I hope I'm old and cool one day.
After Joerg turned off the camera: The dog: "Cute prototype." Joerg: "Hahahahaha!"
That was the cat I believe
@@RadioWerwolf There is a dog if you watch the video until the end😂
@ 15:30 **Dog sniffing the ground nonchalantly** **Joerg talks about coil-based instant Legolas** *Dog:* "Now you has my attention"
what a sincere, hearty and humorous friend.. Regards brother.
Joerg. I like money as much as the next guy but what impresses me is originality and good character. You are brimming with both. ( imagine going to grandpa's house if grandpa was Joerg. Awesome lol)
The winding solution seems a bit like it was engineered as an afterthought - should be built in really. I bet you could design a better winder than that Joerg
Yeah the winch sucks. Try using it sitting up a tree.
It is neat that it's totally silent, but I don't see any reason why it couldn't at the very least be an electric winch if it's not going to be integral.
@@PhycoKrusk It would add a LOT to the weight and change the balance.
@@Theduckwebcomics Hm. Actually, that might also explain why they didn't make it integral as well. Not so much for the weight, but adding the mechanisms might've changed the balance too much.
ikr it's like they figured out later that they needed a way to cock it.
"And as you hear, you hear nothing" deep thoughts with Joerg
accually the original quote comes from Isaac Shrōedinger
Very common saying in Germany
I went to their site and that cross bow is now $2,500 which includes all he has shown us. They say its made for hunting, but you wouldn't use those few arrows for hunting as they are only practice arrows. What he has not shown us, is if that Bolt-Caster fire broad-heads, and if it can then you'll need a arrow scabbard which can hold them and still be able to be attached to Bolt Caster.
Except that he did mention that and showed it in the video that it will fire with broadheads.
i really enjoyed your review, table everything ha .good job !
0:38 praises the case 1:10 drops the case lmao
He was just testing its ability to handle every day use
Linus+Joerge collab when?
Thank you for translating all the measurements into 'American' or murican measurements
Damn, that is power...!!! Great video.
Excellent. Thank you for sharing your video.
This is basically the most expensive,impractical" arrow launcher" to have ever been crafted!
pera stotigautera yes, far from traditional & less practical than new CO2 self cocking ones. Thanks but I’ll keep my Tomahawk SS Diamond, classic recurves & compound.
Yea I was rather unimpressed with this. My PSE Coalition is slightly faster with 185# draw and a fraction of the weight. For under $200 USD
James dingle "gotta find some way to tell someone about my crossbow today"
Norwegian troll under an old bridge "Gotta find something to talk crap about today"
Not to mention that this thing looks prone to failure. Nothing beats a simple recurve bow imo.
That case drop had me screaming
me too Rip Boxu :c
Interesting. I'd like to buy one but I rather wait because I feel the manufacturer might come up with an improved version soon. Thank you for your demonstration.
amazing bit of kit,,thanks 4 sharing,,xx
Not gonna lie, i thought this was one of those "different but worse" inventions. It's very clear to me now how wrong i was.
Imagine this guy hunting you down for sport in some remote German Forrest, every few minutes all you hear is random laughter for no reason, getting closer....you're boned
Suddenly, he's in front of you. "Look at this incredible crossbow I've brought. LET ME SHOW YOU ITS FEATURES AH HAHAHAHA!"
Hunting with a crossbow or long bow is forbidden in Germany. The German hunting license does only permit hunting with firearms.
@@thiloreichelt4199 I think you missed the entire comment being a reference to "The Most Dangerous Game."
@@thiloreichelt4199 hunting people is also not permitted in germany i suspect, but allas the setting of being hunted down by joerg was the premise of the joke.
"Waoy, hohhohhohh! That'z itz powah."
your so real and funny. I enjoy your reviews
So the first thing I see Joerg doing is making something that will increase the reloading speed like a small battery powered screwdriver, Then he will come up with a magazine... IF he already hasn't. Another great video!
I love how he laughed about the safety most of his stuff doesn't have a safety
he's got the safety shirt on!
yes he has got safety shared on
it's a bit hard to put a safety on a slingshot though
That's the joke
This guy's energy is so pleasant, it's so much fun to watch his stuff
There’s a call it a centrifugal bow, i suppose in a sense it is still a crossbow- but really it should be its own thing, coolest archery innovation ive seen!
Love this dude. I commend you my comrade of 🏹 archery 🎯 for keeping and being a down to earth man and a real person. I see that you are not trying to sell or profit and dont mention and ask for monetary values. A true craftsman of and love for one of the original tools that changed the world. Thank you and i look forward to seeing more
