Does anyone of you here watch this movie. I watched it and saw some primitive weapons in action. They are the sling, spearthrowers, bow and arrows and blowdarts.
This movie is very realistic, my friend said it's banned in my country. The native used a style somewhat like underhand helicopter style and slung a big rock. The sling was swung diagonally, much like the one depicted in the slinging.org logo.

I watched it the other day for the first time, though I was having problems with priorities.
I could only follow the language, or the weapons.
I should watch it again and look for that part!

Mine has english subtitles. It's a real good movie,(with extreme violence and gore)
They also used the staff sling.
The bad guys captured some natives and set them to run free while the bad ones try to hit the running captives with atlatls, slings, and arrows. I saw something weird, it's a staff sling!
