Finally some tests. My thoughts:
-pig skin might be tougher than human. -Skin is way more harder to penetrate than flesh. So just a couple millimeters of skin is worth an inch or more of flesh. -The pig shoulder they got probably isn't very fresh,like an hour two "old", so the skin is probably a bit more dry than on a living pig. -Even slightly dry skin is noticeably tougher than living skin. -Glandes often start slightly sideways,or sideways,unless you're lucky, or really good at getting a proper rifle spin on them. -They do align in flight, but that may take ~50m
-Glans were used for their long range capabilities and penetrating capabilities. For long range, you use long slings. Otherwise you're better off with a stone and a long sling.
-Glans retain their velocity,extremly well, so a hit at 400m still has 70+% of it's kinetic energy. -The guys did a good job,but,they're not slingers who grew up with a sling,and with a sling...power and accuracy comes with LOTS of practice, as we know.
