I Made Ultimate Frisbee Deadly

Have you ever wondered how many ways you can make a frisbee lethal? Well as an avid ultimate frisbee player, this is what I would think about on a weekly basis.
WATCH HERE: I Made Ultimate Frisbee Deadly
This video was pivotal in me finding my niche in this YouTube world. It was the first time that I took a sport and made it perverted in the most sketchily satisfying way.
I was inspired by two main things for this video. The first would be Odd Job's had from the old James Bond 007 Golden Eye video game. And the second was a scene in Hard Ticket to Hawaii where a bladed frisbee was used to kill someone.
So I made 5 bladed discs. The one featured in the thumbnail had 5, 5 inch long pocket knife blades. The next was massive fish hooks big enough to catch a shark with. Then I made one with two rows of scalpel blades. Then there was the classic disc with screws facing around the rim and finally one with straight razor blades surrounding the edge.
I really felt I was onto something with this video. It's an idea that so many people thing about but I don't think anyone has actually created it(outside of the movies). The downfall in my opinion was execution on the videography side. I had poor lighting and exposure and was trying to use the slomo function on my Sony ZV-1 for the first time and it was all a bit... underwhelming.
I also fell short when it came to how I tested the discs. I got a huge $70 slab of pigs belly but it started to get warm baking in the sun and droop down from the screws that held it to the wooden backdrop. BUT this was the first time I used a torch so that was pretty fun. I also legitimately should have bought a respirator at this point and inhaled far too much fumes. Melted plastic doesn't feel great on the brain.
What I think will come in the future is actually making some suit of armor and playing catch with someone with the disk. I think it's possible. Any volunteers?
