article in Archeology Ireland
Jul 2^nd, 2017 at 4:04pm

Just a small articles about slings. it refers to the Burnswark Hill finds in Scotland. It's about the lead glandes found there.
"German researcher and sling enthusiast Jorg Sprave has since analyzed their kinetic energy to make a startling discovery. He believes they would have the same stopping force as a modern 44. Magnum handgun, which fires bullets at a speed of around 1475 feet per second (450 meters per second) and imparts 1,160 foot pound force (1570 joules) of energy.

The greatest of all the accomplishments of 20th cent. science has been the discovery of human ignorance The main difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has it's limits.-Einstein I'm getting psychic as I get older. Or is that psychotic?
