Missile accuracy vs. kill speed?

[Kraxis]

I was looking at the attack values for some of these archers, and it's hard to believe that they're stacking up the kinds of kills you guys are talking about.

Slingers have an attack of 4. How the heck are they doing arbelest-type damage?

Now archers tend to have higher attack values...and some egyptian archers have very good values...but slingers?

I think I can answer that. They have a low trajectory, so the bullets, if they miss, have a much greater chance of a hit. The target fills a much larger part of the projected area the bullet can hit.
