Thanks guys!  I am always amused that so many people consider sling a toy.

Blimey that must have been a fast throw.
Your videos are always entertaining. 

Loved that last shot of the chair. there just something particularly comedic about it...

Great video as always Timpa!  I wasn’t too surprised by the metal ammo since it’s dense, hardened bearing steel going up against a soft, thin sheet metal, but I really didn’t expect that rock to penetrate as well as it did. That’s impressive!

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

Same. I've put big dents in metal pans but never gone through one. I might need to find some thinner metal and try and do the same Cheesy

in fact, this ammunition was made of ordinary steel.
By the way, they sparkle nicely. Below is a picture of the spark, compared to me:

Leave it to timpa to surprise an engineer in the matters of metal.
