User blog comment:Kaiser of Metcalfer99/Update: a song of Procrastination, Slings and Jon Bernthal Roar Grunting/@comment-35680048-20190214024203

To add on to what Laqy here is saying and to give my own take, I wouldn't say the sling is entirely useless. In the hands of a skilled warrior, a sling is a deadly weapon. If you can land a nice shot on an enemy's head, forget about it. If he's not superhuman or just plain lucky, there's a high chance they're either dead, or unconscious. It's not a bad weapon, just difficult to utilize consistently.

Compare the sling to something like a bow or crossbow which doesn't rely on blunt damage to get the job done, you can see why it's favored. A rock (which most slings would have except for the extremely terrifying clay balls the Aztecs used), isn't nearly as effective at dispatching a target as an arrow, at least consistently. Also, try using a sling on horseback. It's not impossible, but most likely will be highly inaccurate. But I digress, because I wanna welcome you back to Deadliest Fiction.

It's nice to see you haven't totally vanished on us. I have a feeling Rukh vs Frank Castle AKA: The Punisher will be very interesting even if i'm unfamiliar with both characters. Also Comanche vs Hittites is a godsend for the Hittites, since the last time they were used was all the way back in 2010 in a super low quality battle(not to mention it'll be nice to see some nice chariot action). Anyways, I again welcome you back to the wiki and hope you're here to stay.
