>The tumbling in this video is a good demonstration of the angular momentum problem. The projectile has a carp ton of angular momentum after release
I'm not sure I follow; if the object is held rigidly to the launch arm until the point of release, it's going to have a lot of angular velocity, sure, but that doesn't imply rotation, does it?
