Not to be confused with sling (weapon) or catapult.
Simple slingshot
A slingshot or catapult is a small hand-powered projectile weapon. The classic form consists of a Y-shaped frame, with two natural rubber strips or tubes attached to the upper two ends. The other ends of the strips lead back to a pouch that holds the projectile. One hand holds the frame, while the other hand grasps the pocket and draws it back to the desired extent to provide power for the projectile—up to a full span of the arms with sufficiently long bands.
Other names include catapult (United Kingdom), peashooter (United States), gulel (India), getis / guleli (Nepal), kettie (South Africa), or ging, shanghai, pachoonga (Australia and New Zealand), Lastik (Malaysia), bodoque / estilingue (Brazil)
