Too bad we don't see it in the movies or games. Seeing Merry and Pippin sling into the Watcher Lake would have been funny.

Tolkien wrote about how dangerous they were with thrown stones, it would have been nice to see them sling a bit as well. Seems like exactly the kind of weapon a Hobbit would use.

Yep, and again Tolkien (to my knowledge) may have written that they practiced archery and slinging as hobbies, as well as their good ol' Golfindrel.

Can’t train an actor to sling well in a few weeks... plus it might knock all the prosthetic hair off their little hobbit arms Grin

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES!  Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“  -Jesus the Noodler
