Have you ever made slinging ammo out of anything other than lead or clay? By ammo, I am referring to glandes (american football shaped bullets). Cestro darts and such don't count

You can make a mold and pour it in like bling squirrel does, or leave the mix drier and roll it into balls and shape it into glandes. The latter is what I did.

Yeah I’ve used steel and tungsten as well (not in the ideal shape)

Rough dimensions/diameter and density of a sphere of each material weight around 110g

Water/ice (1g/ccm) :6cm sphere (just smaller than tennis ball)
Stone /clay / concrete (2-3g/ccm) : 4.2cm sphere (roughly golfball)
Steel /iron (8g/ccm) : 3cm sphere
Lead (11g/ccm) : 2.7cm sphere
Tungsten (18g/ccm) 2.3cm sphere

Just to give you an idea. These numbers are going from memory and not precise numbers.

Razor glandes, Aim for the eyes!!!
