Slingshot lover and — let’s face it — borderline maniac (in the best way) Joerg Sprave definitely took things to one extreme when he created an enormous slingshot cannon that fired ridiculous chainsaw halberds. Not to be outdone, even by himself, he’s back at it with another ludicrous invention that goes with speed over size: a fully automatic slingshot mini gun. Really, what could top this?
Using a wooden cylinder covered in almost a dozen individual slingshot barrels, Sprave’s full auto minigun relies on a drill to spin its business peice. Aside from that though, it’s all good old-fashion rubber band action launching a slew of arrows at a target with blistering speed, and half-decent accuracy to boot. Surely there’s no way Joerg has run out of ideas yet, but this seems like a seriously hard act to follow. But pulling that off seems to be what he does best. I can’t even image what’s next.

Technically is is fully automatic, but I feel that it's a bit of a stretch.
If it was reloading rounds as it was firing them, only then would I grant it the title of fully automatic.
I think it depends which century they pulled the term 'automatic' from.
I want to see him build a gun that fires live angry crustaceans
Um... Yes I have thought of a way to make this FULLY auto, including re-cocking and loading...
(Unfortunately I live in a place where thinking such things is a crime, and doing it is a serious gaol-able offence
Have to see if it works, then it may only need 3-4 "barrels" for the same functionality...
Not Fully auto until you can just tip a box of ammo into the mag.... and fire continuously... but cool....
