Sling

right|300pxThe sling is a ranged weapon used for throwing projectiles. It is made up of either two cords attached to each end of a pouch, where the projectile is placed, or a long, thin strip of strong material with the projectile couched in the middle. This set-up allows a projectile to be thrown much farther than it could be thrown by hand. A sling with a pebble locked inside can also be used like a club at close range, a tactical method used by many in the battle of The Ridge of a Thousand.
==Design==
The typical projectile for a sling is a rock, but it can be used to throw any reasonably round, hard object and creatures have been creative throughout the series in finding alternate missiles.
