Im just imagining the lawnmower finding those metal balls, you'll broadside your neighborhood

[@saxonman]

Actually very innovative, definitely on to something here

[@CamdenBowen]

Thank you!

[@NOOTSMAZDAS]

This is a sick idea 👍

[@Mekole93]

So many possibilities from this. Shape of container, minus spring and sub momentum to lessen weight, momentum to load and not middle finger, technique of sling. Thank you!

[@legate-lanius]

should have way more views

[@CamdenBowen]

Why thank you!

problem: spherical ammunition is not ballistically stable out of a sling. :/
slingers would use a football shaped ammo, especially when they could forge pewter bullets, because the shape coming out of the sling gets a lot of rotational energy.
spinning spheres curve in flight really badly.

U made a automatic sling in thoery if u made it hold more and u were a solid slinger u could basically act like a machine gun on a wooden target

[@CamdenBowen]

That was the plan lol, if I practiced more and was generally a better slinger I could fire all 3 at a target in probably 3 - 5 seconds accurately

[@all9472]

@@CamdenBowen i seen slingers do that with a normal sling theres a video called sniper slinger guy shoots 1 every 2 sec in some of his clusters my guess it with proper training maybe .5 sec and 1 sev accuratly if i base this off speed shooting in archery sadly the slinging community not very developed so sometimes have to borrow information from other sports with similar principals
