cool slingshots 

it looks really cool. They might be related to this site, (best slingshots to come out of china) http://www.dankung.com/emart/
I am not much of a slingshot person. I had an old trumark, but the bands broke and walmart didn't sell any. Furthermore, wrist braced slingshots are illegal in new york.

they are not for sale.

  I have an old american boys book from the 1800's that has a plan for one of these in it.  They are nothing new, just a logical progression from a slingshot.

California
Blowguns
Blowgun bolts & darts
Foregrips

I remember you were looking for a blowgun- guess that's a no-no now. Slingshots are not banned. However, a law from antique days bans slungshot-(read: rope dart) and some old people might get confused. Like how old people at the beach try to call the cops on me because they think I have a "slingshot". "No, it's a sling." "YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN, A SLINGSHOT! AND THATS ILLEGAL! I'M 80 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE ALZHEIMERS, THEREFORE I AM NEW YORK STATE'S EXPERT ON RESTRICTED ITEMS!" First of all, only wrist braced slingshots are illegal in New York. You can look it up on the internet... oh wait, you don't know how to use that...But enough of my rant- I also remember reading a list of" idiot laws" and I think there's one from the olden days which says slingshots can only be used by the police. There is less than a trillionth of a percent it will be enforced- like I said before, trumark slingshots are reliable. The more powerful bands also supposedly shoot up to 200 yards, so be careful with it. The one I used before was a cheap and reliable s9, which had a cool ammo storage system in the handle.

I also heard that barnett slingshots, with all sorts of balancing mechanisms and whatnot, are good, but trying to casually slip it in your back pocket when a dent mysteriously appears on a car would be hard: http://www.barnettcrossbows.com/slingshots/index.html

I plan on whipping up a homemade one with a good branch and some latex tubing next week
Whew, my fingers hurt.
