This Stainless Steel X6 slingshot was my third slingshot from Dankung. I liked my Plastic (POM) X6 so much that I decided to get a Steel X6 too. Having both a Plastic and a Steel X6, I will try to point out the differences between the two of them.
I bought the Silver, Polished Stainless-Steel version, which is not shown in the website (only the Shining Edition, Golden Edition and Dark Edition are shown), and I think this is the most beautiful slingshot I have ever seen. I was also impressed by the package, including the band set, wrapping and sleeves, all in a high-quality plastic box.
The Steel X6 is an ergonomic ('S' shaped) slingshot, and it is very comfortable in the hand, even if at 193gr, you do feel its weight (the Plastic X6 weights 55gr). I haven’t wrapped the slingshot or put the sleeves in, as I find the slingshot comfortable (and more beautiful) as it is. The ‘pinky hole’ is big enough to attach a lanyard, but I don’t find that it is necessary to do so.
I can’t really tell whether the grip is more comfortable on the Plastic X6, or the Steel X6. The Plastic X6 has a much thicker handle, so you have more material to hold on to. The Steel X6 has a leaner handle that allows the middle finger and ring finger to wrap around the handle, securing the grip.
The grooves on the Steel X6 are placed a little to the center of the slingshot, not right up in the middle of the fork loop (as in the Plastic X6), and they do a marvelous job at keeping the tube in place (better than the Plastic X6). Grooves are definitely something to look for if you use tubular bands.
In conclusion, I find that the Steel X6 is a beautiful ornament, but also a comfortable slingshot to shoot. Being a high-quality slingshot, its price (while not cheap) is totally justified.
This Plastic (POM) X6 slingshot was my second slingshot from Dankung, and my first ergonomic ('S' shaped) slingshot. It is a very comfortable slingshot to hold, and it can be shot as it is, it doesn't need any type of wrapping to make the grip comfortable. At 55gr, it feels incredible light. You can throw it in any pocket and you won't feel it's weight.
The grooves surely help to keep the tube in place, though it did roll a few times. Grooves are definitely something to look for if you use tubular bands. I added a removable paracord lanyard, to avoid dropping the slingshot when shooting. Even if it is not strictly necessary.
I don't get any kind of warning signs at the slingshot being made of plastic. Its thickness has been increased compared to Stainless Steel slingshots, and it feels sturdy. I pushed the tip of the forks towards each other, and they bend slightly. However, as the forks are reinforced in a front-back direction (they are thicker when seen from the side), I can't see or feel any bend when shooting. The seams are visible at the sides, but they have been smoothed, not to damage the bands, and I really can’t feel them by touch.
I liked this Plastic X6 so much that after 1 or 2 weeks I decided to go for a Stainless Steel X6 slingshot too. I asked for a version that is not shown in this site (Silver, polished Stainless Steel), and they were able to get it for me. If you want to check it out, I will be reviewing it shortly, on the link for the X6 Shining Edition.
I really liked this slingshot, and I think its price is unbeatable.
My favorite slingshot as of yet! It is very well made and with it's thickness it can be used as a hunting slingshot if desired. With 1632 tubes it can be used as a vicious BB shooter. It's size is it's best feature because it can easily be carried in a pocket or concealed in your palm. A little paracord and tubes over the forks makes for a very secure grip. You won't be disappointed with this slingshot
I bought this on behalf of a friend - so this is his opinion (he is much more experienced than me with these things).
He simply loves it! He is a welder and blacksmith by trade an was quite impressed by the quality and finish - especially at this price. He was not keen on the wrapping (we are all different!) but it is easily removed. Basically the Pixiu has made all his other catapults redundant - including two rather expensive UK made ones. Overall he is delighted with it.
I have shot it as well and I rather like it.
Only my second catapult, still very new to this game!
I should admit that I bought it because it looks so pretty!
This is quite a chunky catapult but it handles beautifully, shoots very well and the quality is top notch. I am very, very, pleased with mine.
OK, I rated it at 5 stars, well after some switching of tubes and lengths, have more to add, After many shots and becoming used to using the sight, it is becoming what I believe will be my number one go to for accuracy, I use it almost all the time anymore, took a while to get accustom to aiming with it, but now it is what I believe one of the best that I own, a solid number 5. Fine slingshot / catty.
About the pouches, the thing is, me and lot of my friends use the Yellow
LiquideBullet Pouches when shooting 8mm steel. Those LiquideBullet Pouches
are getting really popular here in Germany, because they are very durable
and the open up very good so no risk of RTS.
The only problem is, sometimes when we shoot over 8mm ammo, they are too small.
So the perfect thing would be also to have a little bigger Yellow
LiquideBullet Pouches from the same material, only bigger.. Same form, same
holes, only a little bigger which could be used for 10mm-12mm ammo..
But if this is not possible, those two pouches you sent me, are also very
good.. Very durable, opening up really good and are light weight..
So if there is a possibility I can buy some from both let me know, and the
price.. And I am sure, soon there will be more slingshot shooter
interessted in them..
Becouse everyone is asking me, if there would also be a bigger
LiquideBullet pouches available from Dankung...
This tool make it easy!
Bands or tubes doesnt matter it works and it's fantastic.
So fantastic that I bought two! Also it's very compact and you can carry it with you every where, in the field at the office, in your back!
It is a must have!
I think that this is beautiful and powerful.
Very ergonomic shape so it stays in the hand securely. Compact but not small.
really pleased on how can accept and shoot looped tubes accurately.
Highly recommended!
This was my first Dankung slinghshot and probably is my favorite.
Very very well made, tough as tank still it's comfortable to use.
Any power tube or flatband can be used for accurate results.
Yes I love it and probably I will buy more as backup.
The best price/quality slingshot you can find!
This is a small jewel.
Incredibly well made with perfect fit and finish the stock is 9mm thick.
So don't be fooled by its tiny size but it can accept any kind of tubes.
I think its a perfect pocketable slingshot although a bit tiny for large hands.
With a wrapping it becomes even more comfortable.
Get one before they sold out!
Bought these tubes and Im very happy. Even at single tube are really powerful and the latex you can feel it's 1st quality.
Double loop and experiment as hunting or shooting heavy ammo.
Also they last so they absolutely worth the money. Buy with confidence.
Really the slingshot #1 tubes worldwide!
IF I could add 6 stars I will do...
Bought these tubes as first and I never regretted it. Very nice tubes that can work flawlessly with smaller ammo up to 8mm when used with single tubes. A double loop cutted at nice stretch can make a slingshot ready for hunt or to throw bigger ammo.
To me the best as used as double looped. Very nice balance of power and draw
I just received my Panther slingshot.
It is a beautiful work of art, & I am very pleased w/ the product; but the
handle could use a palm swell.
You suggest different ways to accomplish this task; in Jorg Sprave video & in
the literature you enclose with the product.
In turn, I would suggest you offer a separate item [ be it rosewood, or
polycarbonate palm swell to be attached at a later date. I would gladly pay
for such a product.
You do have such palm swells on your other products. I'm sure it would be a
good source of income for your company, as the Panther is a very popular
product in your line.
Sincerely,
Dan Fox
Excellent slingshot/catapult, very high quality, only complaint, the tubes that come with it, not good, too short, too strong, need to re-evaluate what is shipped with unit, otherwise fine piece of gear.
This is a very fine fishing set, the only thing you need is a slingshot.
Light and compact.
This set fits fine in my "prepper bag".
(In Swedish)
Ett litet fiske kit för slangbella, betydligt mindre,,lättare och enklare än att skjuta långa "bågfiske pilar".
Att skjuta fisk med pilbåge fungerar fint, även om det inte är tillåtet i Sverige. Att skjuta fisk med slangbellan istället för pilbåge fungerar också bra, alla slangbellor som modifierats för att skjuta långa pilbågspilar kan skjuta de långa fiskefilarna också.
Men detta lilla kit är ändå något strå vassare.
Först och främst är allt litet och lätt, inga långa pilar eller skruvande och fästande av olika saker på bellan.
Bara ta din slangbella, byt band till ett med sträng istället för poush, så är du klar.
Min bella för loopade tub band byter jag blixtsnabbt banden på, och sedan sätter jag på mig armbandet med rullen och skyddshandsken, så är det bara att sätta igång.
Priset för detta fungerande kit är också bara en fjärdedel av priset för ett fiskekit med långa pilar.
Hi, we ship the average length band with this slingshot. Just make a comment on order if you want long band.

Really a genius product!
