Still Waters 51,196 #1 Posted April 22, 2014 German hobbyist and lab technician, Patrick Priebe has built a real-life functioning version of Spider-Man's web shooter, that shoots pellets and a fishing line with a tiny harpoon instead of a liquid web. In a video posted on YouTube, Mr Priebe can be seen demonstrating his wrist gadget by shooting projectiles at tin cans. http://www.telegraph...eb-shooter.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Sam 3,087 #2 Posted April 22, 2014 That would hurt if he sticks his fingers too close to the path of the harpoon.... image getting impelled by that, then it starts to reel itself inwards pretty much ripping any muscle or skin off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineffectiveArtist 118 #3 Posted April 23, 2014 A harpoon? Does it have something attactched to it, or does it just shoot them like arrows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DKO 1,252 #13 Posted April 27, 2014 More like a small nail-gun attached to his wrist. I was hoping it was going to be a more high tech version of the kids web shooters, the web shooters that kids have been playing with for about 15 years now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
