@@lancethrustworthy They use different projectiles and their names are different. Slingshot - Sling - Different names. You can’t easily use a rock in a slingshot because you risk damage to the elastic band. Slingshots use marbles or ball bearings (round projectiles). A sling uses rocks or an oblong lead pellet.

Slingshots are toys, slings are weapons. The sling is just two strips of leather connected to a leather pouch containing a stone. The slinger held the ends of both strips and whirled the stone over his head, then released one of the strips at exactly the right time to hurl the stone at the target. Expert slingers could hit birds in flight, and the stone hit with the force of a 45-caliber bullet.

On the Gladius, the Legionairs would carry them on the right side, and the Centurions would carry them on the left side. In close formation it was advantageous to have the sword right so it could not entangle in the shield, or hit the man to the left with the scabbard while you tried a cross body draw. This was also handy if you the enemy pressed against your shield, leaving you no room to draw it easily. As its a short sword, drawing it from the right is no problem.

I bought a leather sling at a sci-fi convention like the one at 17:05 and got pretty darned good with it! I could hit the target (tree trunk) from a good distance away even. Thought I could carry something like it if I ever got caught out in the wild, for nailing squirrels and rabbits. Lost it some time later, sadly enough, but I'd love to find one again and re-learn my technique.

Yes, but i wonder how future historians are going to react to finding that in that the most lethal weapon of OUR time was the Tweet. It rigged the election for Trump in 2016 and opened the door for the acceptance of outright criminals in government. Finally culminating in the open purchasing of our Supreme court and the end of both our constitution and the Rule of Law. The loss of SCOTUS was the COUP DE GRAS for Democracy. With Trump we will have the fall of the greatest military in the history of the world, without a single open battle or a shot fired. How's THAT for a historical statistic? All due to mans inability to understand the threat of computer generated, machine gun propaganda the internet would allow. Or its ability to bend weak minds. They STILL haven't even begun to have a weapon to counter it, because even with the fall of democracy in the US they STILL haven't realized its power. Computer programs used as machine guns that NEVER run out of bullets or stop firing, capable of bending minds and turning people against their own country and even their own FAMILIES.. a horrible weapon if their ever was one and I have long wondered if they will ever come up with a defense against it, or having taking our government they will just make sure THEY are the only ones allowed to USE the weapon and our defeated democracy (and all the ones that fall BECAUSE the USA switched sides) will remain Trump/Putin slaves forever. sounds ridiculous but the most horrible accidents in history always involved things NOBODY appreciated the threat from. Its a brand new world and I'm actually pretty happy that I'm 71 not 21 right now. at least i got to live in a time where freemen didn't live in fear 24/7. For 6 years I''ve watched the rule of law and our constitution crumble. I'm ready for it to be OVER. Its going to be sad to be a refugee but better than than a slave and at least i wont be a poor one..

I can't see the arumi as being practical in battle. First of all it would take years to master. Second, it would probably prove dangerous to use around allies. You'd be just as likely to injure soldiers on your own side as those on the enemy side. This would force users to operate fairly far apart from one another leaving them at a disadvantage in the close combat typical of warfare up until the modern era.

Surely the sling you showed was a catapult, I thought a sling was a length of leather with a stone in a pouch swung around the head and the launched. The odachi was more a vanity piece rather than a weapon. The shield has always been used defensively and offensively, the last items are just silly.

Isn't it time to finally join the international world where the metric system is simply used? A launch has gone wrong before because they did not take into account the fact that some people continue to stick to local customs and sizes. Like this video, which is clearly meant to be serious, but then all that research and prep work is ruined because they hired some elderly carpenter to tell them how big those things were. Of course it is unclear which measuring system the good man uses because one person's feet are not the same as those of another. It may well be that you grew up with those old, run-down friends, I grew up when they were still inventing the computer and mobile phones did not yet exist. But wouldn't it be absurd to still communicate with the fanfare? But that's really what you're doing...apparently afraid of what wasn't even the future a hundred years ago. Grow up and learn what the metric system means... a new world will open up for you.

Go ask the Australian aborigines and they will tell you that they invented this. The same with the boomerang. They are very very good at lying about these.

What is this crap? He talks about a sling, but keeps showing a slingshot (wrist rocket). Even while he's describing a sling properly, the stock image and video is all slingshots. Not at all the same thing. Also rhe wooden magazine wasn't changed out of the xbow, thhey werebjust continuously loaded from the top. It's hilariously stupid. He says Balearic slingers whole the video shows an 8 year old girl playing wirh a toy slingshot. I mean with such careless research, I'm not sure we should take anything said here seriously.
