Vintage Weapon
A sling shot is one of the simplest weapons that you can find. It is also sometimes known as a wrist cannon, a catapult, or a shanghai. One of the best sling shots available in the market today is the Marksman slingshot. It features the finest quality latex bands that give it more power and a positive grip leather launching pouch. A sling shot is essentially a hand-held catapult that is easy to build and easy to use.
These qualities have made it very popular among children and pre-teens and has been one of the most popular children’s toys of the 20th century. All over the world, specially in the United States, some people actually hunt with them as well, and there are even competitions for accuracy and speed firing. The traditional sling shot was made from old tires, but beginning in the late 1940’s they began to be commercially produced and sold as children’s toys.
