Well I think instantly to the designs like
“Ysling” “kestros” “captured release” “compoundsling” “multi pouch” “triggering sling” “shotgun sling”
Personally I’ve played around with a few of these but only a few seemed to have any real appeal.
Here’s a picture of the triggering mechanism I came up with . I was very happy when I came up with the idea for the first time. Simple and very easy to use and reload , but it made ammunition variability almost impossible so it held no true promise for my applications.
I won’t tell exactly how it works see if anyone figures it out.

I had nearly the same reaction as stoneslinging
I had no idea how in the world it would work!
After a while looking at it, I showed it to my brother, who came up with a probable way to make it work
The only other really unique sling I can think of is the cestrosphendone / kestrophendone dart sling (

).
Another sling that is at least sort of unique is the staff sling.

Once, Toivo and Eino were out hunting, and before setting out, Toivo told Eino to fire three shots in the air if he got lost, and Toivo would find him. Soon enough, Eino got lost, aimed his weapon up and prayed: "God, please let Toivo see my arrows!"

Oh yeah! Definitely a topic that's come up before.
These are both pretty long, but here's a couple threads for you to look through.

Here's my Double Barrel Sling. As long as you use consistently sized ammo you'll get a pretty tight shot group. Or you can use both pouches to sling larger objects like snowballs.
