" It is used to cast line from one location to another , often mooring line . The cord end is tied to the heavier line and the weighted end of the slungshot is thrown across the intervening space where a person picks it up and pulls the line across . As a weapon . The slungshot was often used as a civilian or improvised weapon ; however , the rope length became much shorter when used as a weapon . The cord is tied around the wrist , and the weight is carried in the hand or the pocket of the user . A slungshot may be swung in a manner similar to that of a flail . Slungshots were widely used by criminals and street gang members in the 19th Century . They had the advantage of being easy to make , silent , and very effective , particularly against an unsuspecting opponent . This gave them a dubious reputation , similar to that carried by switchblade knives in the 1950s , and they were outlawed in many jurisdictions . The use as a criminal weapon continued at least up until the early 1920s . Carrying or attempting to use a Slungshot is a felony in the states of California , Oklahoma , and Michigan . It is a gross misdemeanor in the State of Nevada and Washington State . In Massachusetts it can be either a misdemeanor or a felony depending upon the circumstances . Other names . They were also known as " slingshots , " but had nothing to do with what is now known as a slingshot . Many jurisdictions ' laws against " slingshots " were actually meant to refer to slungshots . Worldwide . They were also used in China and Japan , under different names . One variant was called " loaded sleeves , " where a pair of long , flowing sleeves had weights concealed in them . According to Robert van Gulik , the reputation of " loaded sleeves " saved some Western nuns during an anti - Western uprising in China , when the nuns were cornered by a mob . As the nuns believed they were going to be killed , they raised their hands to pray . The crowd reacted believing them to have " Loaded Sleeves " . The Chinese had seen their breviaries , which they carried in the sleeves of their robes , believing the nuns to be dangerous . A path opened through the crowd , and the nuns escaped .
