I still feel my original suggestion of standing hmm up next to a wall and having everyone else hurl tungesten glands at him.   Or maybe just one balearic slinger, and im suprised they havent been rasised as evidence for the accuracy of a sling yet.
As for religion, not the best place for it here, although david and goliath is in the bible, and may be fictional, hy would the author(s) use a weak weapon, like saying today little iraqi boy killing american tank commander with a bottle of water?

"tungesten glands"

have any idea where i could get one of these?

1.  Flak shot makes it possible to tkae small gmae fairly easily
2. Talk to the balearic slingers, they are incredibly accurate due to near constant training.
3. the space needed for slinging i nany style means that for only a small number slingers, a lot of space is needed, pointing to the accuracy of the slingers due to the small numbers ina group.
4. The use of explosive rounds is simply an advancement in ammunition, and allow a poor slinger to cause large amounts of damage.
5.  lead or tungsten glands or even a good rock have a lot more mass, therefore have much energy than a bullet
6. armoured vests are designed to stop the bullet penetrating, glands dont need to penetrate to cause damage, a shot to the chest would crack ribs, pierce lungs/heart and cause large trauma.
7.  You say your job here is done, what precisely was that?

Ok...better get into the "debate" If it can be called such...
To say you cant hunt with a sling is about the stupidest thing Ive ever heard in this forum. Millions of people since the beginning of time have hunted and fed themselves with slings. You need to read up on history. Otherwise you come off sounding like a fool, and rightly so. The Incas, the Apaches, the Aztecs, Mayans, and many others in the new world used slings for hunting. The Baleric slingers are the most famous in the old world
but that was only because it was basically their national past time so they became better then everyone else. But slings have been used throughout Asia and the middle east, as well as Europe and to be honest all over the world for hunting. After all that, there are people in this very forum who have hunted with their slings and yet, as you say, it simply cant be done. Judging from your previous posts  it seems you have no grasp of reality. You are like a madman in the midst of an ocean, proclaiming there is no such thing as water.

He's just an ass who goes from board to board starting six-page flame wars to make everyone mad.  He succeeded.

Thori , your right...
but then again tito you are too

i have been looking at tungston for a while, That stuff is expensive, i was mostly looking at these custom cut spheres of tungston, that are just the right size for the sling. would be nice to have one but i dont want to drop the money.

can it be forged with a ramshakel forge or does it need anything special? I was always under the impression that tungston was some rare expensive metal that could not be marred by the likes of normal people like me

haha i will ask my friend at the junk yard to look for it for me.
