Nice principle, great idea, however un ergonomical and huge. Make a smller version that is hand mounted and that doesn't require as much turning, perhaps a single lever action along with a hotter release clip. Nice idea though good job.

Easiest way to tame the sling is to do some push ups, and make short fork slings, or to use black band which is not as hard.

Damage?

Not too huge compared to a Crossman .177:

It will come with a foot and with it it will be as light as a feather.
