The sling shot is one of the oldest weapons ever created

I don't like it and here's why:
Look at the shape of the branch and tell me it won't try to rotate in your hand when you draw back. One arm is in line with the shaft and the other is off to the side. When you pull back, the lower one will pull away from you while the other will try to turn it in your hand. This will affect the accuracy as well because when you release, it will instantly turn and put rotation on your projectile, causing it to curve mid-flight.

Next is the band. Though it may appear that the lashings are securing it, keep in mind when you stretch rubber, the diameter of the rubber shrinks. The rubber attached at the handle will likely slip upwards and hopefully stop when the loop gets tight across the lashings. But, the rubber on the business end will almost certainly slip out.

The lack of patine and the presence of wood grains sticking out of the surface of the wood suggests that it hasn't been used before. It looks dangerous and awkward to the operator and I wouldn't use it.

Update: it was unable to fire and broke immediately.

Where did it fail? I'm betting at the sling lashing.

Band broke at the top. Probably dry rot. But I immediately noticed I couldn't fire anything larger than an acorn on account of the size of the gap.

Real ray of sunshine. That's my introduction to Weaponry you're talking about

Mine was a 2 man sling shot launching light bulbs onto alternate 19.

Way to many words to tell us you have too much time on your hands.

I made many of those when I was a kid.
We didn't have surgical tubing so we used strips cut from a bicycle innertube.

Wrist rocket with steel ball bearing can kill a pig without the pig knowing it’s dead.

The only good pig is dead with a ball bearing inserted in its head

This comment brought to you by dead pigs in a ditch…, because the only thing better than a dead pig in a ditch is a dead pig in a ditch soaked in piss.

This comment also brought to you by beer, because when you really need to piss on a dead pig ina ditch, beer is the best ammunition.

Today they're all tactical slingshots.

Yes, this is an untouched surplus model that hasn't yet been fitted with a scope cerakoted in urban cammo. It should be worth alot.

When rubber bands are banned, only bandits will have rubber bands.
