It's cool, but I don't see this playing out in real combat.

I would rather learn how to use a sling, as slingers were far more accurate and feared than archers

That's interesting, Q. Especially if the slinger is named David.

A sling would also be an more practical ranged weapon than a bow to throw in a bag. Will have to check that out -- thanks.

What is the rate of fire using a sling?

Later in the video it shows the arrows going through chain mail.

Chain mail isn't meant to defeat arrows, so of course it would be easy to stick; especially if the chain mail is not made with hardened steel.

I would like to see how this did against hardened leather.
X2. Some of the shots barely went into Styrofoam looking stuff. Those long shots are crazy. I'll give him koodos
