Yes, actually. Projectiles launched from slings are called bullets, especially when cast out of lead, or made from clay. They were/are actually fairly fearsome weapons

I saw a photo of an old lead bullet from about 2000 years ago. The slinger had engraved “TAKE THAT!” in the lead in his own language.
