Many sling techniques, such as the “figure 8,” don’t really need a windup. It looks almost the same as throwing a stone by hand, just with many times the range.

They’re not very accurate though. Even with decades of practice, landing a headshot from 100 meters would take a lot of luck. My understanding is that in ancient warfare, slings were used in volleys by hundreds of slingers against crowds of people.

I have gerbils. Some of them love it and some couldn’t care less. For one it took over 6 months of watching her sister and just sitting in it to figure out how it works. Once she did, there was no end to it.

How about nazis and other extremist hate groups, terrorist organizations, organized crime and drug cartels, human traffickers, rapists and serial offenders, cult leaders, corrupt oligarchs or kleptocrats, rogue military juntas and death squads?

Processed some nettles and hung them drying. A bit more serious attempt this time to try and produce something actually functional.
