Slingshots

Slingshots are traditional hunting and combat weapons. Slingshots work by converting stored elastic potential energy into kinetic energy to launch a projectile. When the bands are pulled back, they store energy, which is then released upon release, propelling the projectile forward. This process is similar to how a compressed spring works. Slingshots are primarily used for recreational shooting, target practice, and small game hunting. They work by storing energy in a stretched rubber band and releasing it to launch a projectile, such as a stone, ball bearing, or arrow. While they can be used as a simple form of weapon, they are not typically used in modern warfare due to the availability of more advanced weapons.
