We just can’t help but smile every time we look at this picture. What looks like a scene out of Jackass, the WildSling is a giant, three-person slingshot (or waterbomb catapult as the company calls it). The design calls for two people standing a safe distance apart to hold the WildSling handles while a third person pulls back the business end of the huge slingshot and aims for launch.

You probably wouldn’t want to launch anything more dangerous than a water balloon, and 50 balloons come with this package. The company says it can launch a balloon as far as 300 feet but I’m sure other things could go farther.

The only downside to a slingshot of this magnitude is that you really need at least two other guys with you to launch it which we’re guessing wouldn’t be tough to find. (Just two guys total is tempting to try but probably wouldn’t work as well and actually would make for a nice Jackass skit.) The solo operator can look to the not quite as powerful but aptly named Wildsling Solo. By lying on your back and using your feet in the stirrups the Solo can launch items up to 120 feet.

The three-man Wildsling retails for about $26 while the Solo goes for about $22, and both come with the slingshot device, balloons and a carrying case.
