Heres the projectile I found, recovered from a MG range. It's by a Victorinox multitool for size comparison.

It looks like a 40mm grenade launcher training round(blue color says)I always thought how fun it would be to sling with these Grin

but i think they would be so cool because they would have to land nose first to make some magic

I'd guess that non slingers wouldn't be able to understand how you could cut yourself while braiding, but most sling builders know that braiding can be dangerous work. Not a hobby for the light hearted Grin

I like the baleric. Going to try one myself.
