Slingers

[HumphreysCraig00]

Sticking with the actual topic...

I'd have to echo that stone bullets can be pretty devastating. Pick up a stone and slam it as hard as you can on your hand. It hurts. Now imagine that same stone hurtling through the air at far greater speed, slamming into your hand...or your skull. It isn't very neat either I'd imagine...an arrow is just going to make a nasty puncture wound, but a sling stone is going to shatter a hand or a skull like nobody's business. In the case of the hand, it'd prolly be ruined for good...

I never doubted this, I said that I doubted they achieved some of the completely unrealistic things they were supposed to have done, and then gave an example of one if the things (the boat sinking)

I cant remember when they were suppsed to have done that, the siege of something or other.

[Edit]

Plus I have hit myself as hard as I can on the head/hand (used to do it simply to prove I could, people didnt believe I wouldnt feel them stamping on my hand for example) its not that bad.

That was my 'thing' when I was in younger. I couldn't feel alot of things and the things I could feel I could deal with easy, good times...

Never mind a stone, the more professional slingers would be using a shaped lead shot.

mAIOR, it is unlikely this statement will go down well with the ladies from said country; 'Lol Spanish girls ar ok but I prefer some qualityArgentinian meat'...
