If they did, don't underestimate the power of a slingshot. I have seen one fire a steel ball the size of a .50 caliber bullet through the door of a car.

My preferred ammo in my younger days was .44 cal lead balls. Definitely potentially lethal if a head shot, and I'm sure not much fun anywhere else.

Hey--I'm not dismissing the slingshot or the good people at WAMMO Corp.

But a .38 or 9mm it ain't.

Goliath did (underestimated the power of a slingshot) but shouldn't have.

I have one that will do exactly that -- at very short range. It would still smart mightily at 200 ft.
