Mechanical Engineering & Ammo Feed

How does the Quick-Feed Ammo Magazine work, and what is its capacity?

▼
Our proprietary internal magazine currently comes in two dedicated caliber specifications: 8mm and 9mm. Each single magazine holds up to 20 steel balls. Coupled with our high-power magnetic pouch system, drawing the pouch back automatically catches and loads the next round directly into center shooting position, eliminating manual pocket-fumbling.

What material is the slingshot crafted from?

▼
Every GearOrb slingshot chassis is precision-machined from solid blocks of aviation-grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy using 5-axis CNC milling. It is finished with a Mil-Spec Type III hard-anodized tactical coat, ensuring extreme resistance to sweat, scratches, corrosion, and long-term mechanical impact.

Can I shoot clay pellets, glass marbles, or rocks?

▼
No. To achieve instant auto-reloading, our system incorporates ultra-strong neodymium magnets integrated directly within the band pouch and feeder track. Only magnetic ferrous ammunition (high-carbon steel balls) can trigger the feeding mechanism. Non-magnetic projectiles (clay, lead, glass, or rocks) will not interface with the auto-feed system.

What sighting system comes with the slingshot? Can I mount optics?

▼
The slingshot comes standard with a precision mechanical multi-point sight reference for intuitive distance leveling. For shooters who demand surgical precision, our modular top rails support micro-adjustable Tactical Holographic Red Dot sights (available as an optional upgrade or standalone modular attachment).
Package Contents & Shooting Ballistics

What is included in the standard retail package?

▼
Each standard GearOrb package arrives 100% ready to shoot out of the box and includes:
  • 1x CNC Metal Slingshot Main Chassis (with 20-round quick-feed magazine)
  • 1x Spare High-Tension Flat Band Assembly (with magnetic leather pouch)
  • 100x Precision High-Carbon Steel Ball Ammo (calibrated 8mm or 9mm)
  • 1x Hex Wrench Tuning Key & spare hardware screw set
  • 1x Tactical Storage Carrying Pouch

What band thickness is recommended for 8mm/9mm steel balls?

▼
For 8mm steel balls, we recommend 0.60mm – 0.65mm flat bands to achieve velocities of 270–290 FPS. For heavier 9mm rounds, 0.70mm – 0.75mm bands provide optimal knockdown power and trajectory stability without causing severe hand shock or premature band fatigue.

Is this slingshot legal to own and carry?

▼
In the vast majority of international jurisdictions, traditional and mechanical recreational slingshots are classified as non-firearm outdoor sports and target equipment. However, certain states or municipalities (e.g. New Jersey, Rhode Island) maintain local ordinances regarding wrist-braced gear. Customers are responsible for verifying municipal recreational guidelines before ordering.

How long does delivery take, and what is your return policy?

▼
Orders are dispatched via international air freight within 1–2 business days. Estimated delivery time to North America and Europe is typically 7 to 12 business days. We proudly back every order with a 30-day hassle-free return and exchange guarantee.
MOQ, Pricing & Sample Evaluation

What is your wholesale Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

▼
To support growing outdoor shops, independent EDC merchants, and commercial distributors, our wholesale starting threshold is set at just 5 units minimum. We fully support mixed batch orders (slingshots, replacement ammo magazines, red-dot optics, and band packs).

Can I purchase evaluation sample units before placing bulk orders?

▼
Yes. We encourage prospective distribution partners to inspect our 5-axis CNC machining, tolerance fit, and reload mechanics first-hand. Sample costs incurred for evaluation units will be 100% credited and deducted from your first official wholesale production order.

How do I obtain the full B2B wholesale catalog and margin sheet?

▼
Directly contact our commercial director at yang@gearorb.com with your company name, website, and expected purchasing volume. Our team will send our complete confidential B2B price matrix within 24 hours.
OEM Branding, ODM & Manufacturing

What OEM customization options are available? What are the MOQs?

▼
We offer several tiers of brand customization:
  • Fiber Laser Logo Engraving: Available from 50 units per batch.
  • Custom Retail Box & Foam Packaging: Available from 200 units.
  • Bespoke Anodized Colorways (Desert Sand, Olive Drab, Titanium Gray, etc.): Minimum batch starting from 500 units.

Can you manufacture proprietary designs from our 3D CAD files (ODM)?

▼
Absolutely. With comprehensive 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling machines, we provide end-to-end ODM engineering. We execute binding mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) prior to receiving files, conduct DFM analysis, deliver rapid prototypes in 3–7 days, and scale into full-run mass production.

What payment terms and international freight options do you accept?

▼
For volume B2B purchases, standard payment terms are T/T Wire Transfer (30% deposit upon production kickoff, 70% balance prior to release). We offer both Air Express DDP (Delivered Duty Paid, 7–10 days door-to-door) and maritime container freight DDP, handling all export documentation, customs clearance, and duty payments seamlessly.
