From a recent visit to the Metropolitan Museum in New York city, a bunch of lead bullets from Cyprus (Cessnola collection). Most are of the familiar type (about the size of your first thumb-joint), and must weigh about 30g (one is broken). One, however, is much bigger, and might weigh 150+g. It might have been used with a sling as a super-slug, or, perhaps, as Tracy Rihll has proposed, for use in a catapult or similar war engine.
