Slingshot

Simple slingshot

A slingshot is a small hand-powered projectile weapon. The classic form consists of a Y-shaped frame held the hand, with two natural-rubber strips or tubes attached to the upper two ends. The other ends of the strips lead back to a pocket that holds the projectile. The 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 arm with sufficiently long bands.
