Ice???
Apr 28

I saw some old discussions on the sad and lonely Reddit slinging channel about using ice as ammo... then I came across this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07312L2DK/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?psc=1
Has anyone here tried it?

I have! They work really well as ammo. Cheap, easy to make, environmentally friendly and can be stored near indefinitely in the freezer and actually take quite a while to melt even if it's above freezing temperatures. Would recommend. Snow balls as well are great and work well in my Tibetan wool sling.

I haven't slung any ice cubes yet but I've slung a lot of snow. Seatbelt slings make excellent snowball slings. A sling will make you king of the snowball fight. You have to be careful not to pack the snow tightly. You don't want to put someone in the hospital.

Timpa, only you would find a way to hurl ice covered in shards of broken glass!

kinda lethal and shortlived - but cheap and if you've got a decent cool box - could last quite well.
I have a bunch of ice cube bags - one of those make spheres.
Pretty small, but you get a lot in a bag

You had me fooled
Well maybe you could use the glass ones next time.

The glass is a little too dangerous. Even for me.
And to nature.

Oh! Heres an idea! Why not use sugar glass? It’ll decompose, and shatter similarly to normal glass, I would think.
