Well, good idea for making your own slingshot. But as being powerful, I don't see it...The screws for the knuckle buster will bend inwards and end up pinching or trapping your fingers, the handle with the arrow tip for like a window break is a good idea...Might just make the window buster part...But as for being powerful, I didn't see it...Rotting and wet wood didn't prove to me it was powerful...As for the plastic, I can throw a 10 mm ball bearing hard enough to go throw a cheap plastic container...

   The real idea was the homemade window breaker...Think I might try that myself using hickory and a good solid arrowhead...

   Other then that, I see nothing there...Most people in woodworking and construction will tell you that the screws that he used or any screw for that matter will end up hurting you more in the long run...I wouldn't do it...As for this power thing, it failed...Get a real piece of plywood, not a weather worn, rotting piece piece of compressed wood to try and show power and using flake board that's been wet to punch is by far the biggest of the setups I've seen...

   Everyone else may think it's cool, but when you've been around for 41 years and have worked all forms of construction, what this kid made was nothing more then a finger pinching and skin scrapping hazard to your hands...And in the Z-poc or any other disaster, your hands are the most important thing...

i didn't like the screws either but i did like making the slingshot from found materials and like you said the glass breaker. yeah this probably wont be the most powerful. but it should take small game and distract zombies just fine.

I can see that...

   I did however figure out a way to make an even tougher looking style knuckle busters and window breaker...I've got to check with a friend of mine to see if I can get the stuff from his shop to make it...It damn near looks like a miniature post driver...(LOL)

Just no sure when I'll be able to get it made...I am trying to get a bunch of things done at once and my time has been restricted due to family Dr. appointments...Anyone wanna buy a couple of kids and a slightly used wife??  (ROFLMAO)  Would free up a ton of time and money...For me that is...(ROFLMAO)
