How would you beef up the pouch to take 200 pounds of pull?

My buddy Arthur found the answer to that question.

You could use nails or steel rod pieces instead of the carbon!

Question for you sling shot enthusiasts; It appears there are 1/4 and 5/16 inch ammo available for slingshots. At least in the US.

Do you know the exact dimensions and weight of each ball?
If you could measure with a caliper or micrometer it would be appreciated.

How consistent is the diameter and weight between them? Variability.

I am considering them as a projectile for a pneumatic design. Possibly auto or at least semi-auto.

I don't use small balls like that, my smallest ones are 9,5 mm (.38) and those weigh 3 Gramms (48 grains).

Thanks,

Another possibility:

2 holes about 1/4" apart at each end of the pouch.

Place finishing nail or a small wood dowel between the holes and wrap the leather around the nail.

The string will hold it tight.

The shear strength of the nail/dowel, the double leather thickness, and the full width of the leather pouch should be able to withstand any force we would care to apply.

Thanks for info.
I may consider that size if available in US.

9,5 mm = .3740 inches or almost 3/8 which is .3750 inches. or 9,525 mm.

Do they actually measure 9,50 mm or .380 inches which is 9,652 mm?

Need for barrel dimensioning.
