A leather cradle on two hand-cords, loaded with stone or lead bullet and whirled overhead before release. Shepherds and skirmishers favor it for its range, low cost, and readiness; bullets are gathered from battlefields or streams. Trained slingers deliver crushing blows at surprising distance, though weather and skill shape accuracy.
