Slingshot Shot Designed to Shoot iPhones as Ammo [Video]

Slingshot Shot Designed to Shoot iPhones as Ammo [Video]

Posted July 9, 2011 at 11:59pm by
The Slingshot Channel tests if it possible to use an iPhone as slingshot ammo, and also what happens when a big steel ball, shot from a powerful slingshot, hits an iphone full on the touchpad.

A specifically designed slingshot crossbow is employed to launch what many regard as the best cell phone in the world.


You can see iPhones beeing shot at ballistic gelatin, "Mythbusters style", and also a "long range" shot, demonstrating the accuracy. No iPhone survived the tests, in the end, a "3G" model is fired flat against a house wall. This opened up the device in record time.

Take a look at the video below...
