Arrows rely on piercing, sling shots rely on the transfer of momentum to what's under the armor. Arrows need to penetrate the armor to do damage, slings just have to hit the armor. The shot might not break the armor but its going to mess up whatever is underneath. Its the same concept used against Medieval European knights. If you can't penetrate armor, whack the armor hard enough to do concussive damage to the person underneath. Break a clavical, give someone a consussion, and generally mess his squishy bits up. You see it in the late medieval weaponry when armor won out over arms.
If you can't stab it to death, crush it.![]()
