PSA because a lot of people don’t realize this: this David is Michelangelo’s David of statue fame.

For reference, a sling can throw a 60g projectile over 450m.

The sling, i stead of twirled overhead, is often mounted to a staff, giving further leverage, much like the flexible sling/basket at the end if a trebuchet, the staff acting as the throwing arm if the trebuchet, with the force beung provided by human muscle instead of gravity acting on the weight of the trebuchet.
You can find videos here on youtube, search for staff sling.

David and Goliath. A story where the guy who brings a gun to a knife fight was the underdog...
|
The last frontline use of slings was in the Spanish Civil War when they were used as grenade launchers.
|
... and mount a sling at the end of a catapult, and you can launch a bowling ball 450 feet across my back yard. Allegedly.

Hell, they would bury themselves in ppl. Romans had forceps to pull lead bullets out of ppl. Can be sure their practicle asses reused them too.

Belearic slingers.
If they hit unprotected areas, it caused significant damage.

Broke: David was preordained by God to defeat Goliath.
Woke: David brought a gun to a knife fight.

Bow: I'm the best medieval ranged weapon of all time!
Crossbow: No, I am!
Handgonne: No. I am!
Slings: Amateurs
Handgonne: What wad that punk?
Slings: AMATEURS!

Can you do something on the Aztec eagles?

It is surprising how quickly one can be passable with it as a weapon.

The gallons of allegedly.

And, if you are a skilled slinger in modern times, I'd bet that the sling could be modified to hold modern hand grenades and arm them shortly after release using another string with a carabiner on the free end and slightly longer than the thrower's height so that the pin pulling string is too long to pull the pin if the grenade falls out of the pouch while in rest.🤔

Consider that despite modern advancements, slings are still used by shephards in rural contries, and see infrequent use during protests to propel tear gas back towards riot police. Behave responsibly 😉
|
Romans used balls that whistled, unnerving the enemy. I hear....
|
First rule of sling club is you dont talk about sling club...
|
"They'll be picking it out of the wall behind you if you cut him."

lead bullets would often be made with a hole through the middle, creating a whistling noise that would terrify enemies and break their morale

It was very common for slingers in ancient times to write little messages on their bullets. Things like "Catch!" or "Watch your head!" The best slingers were widely known to come from either the greek city-state of Rhodes or from the Baeleric Islands off the eastern coast of Iberia. Mercenaries from these two regions were worth their weight in gold.
