Introduction to slingshot:

1, slingshot composition

Slingshot is a cold weapon or a game tool. Slingshot is generally made of branches in the shape of a "ya", with epithelial tendons at both ends of the upper end and skin blocks wrapped around the body in the middle. Strength depends on the tension of the rubber band. The greater the tension of the rubber band, the greater the power of the slingshot. A long-range weapon that fires projectiles with a bow. In ancient times, projectiles were mostly used for hunting.

2. Slingshot records

According to the records of such materials, slingshots in ancient times were mostly used for hunting. Because the power of slingshots is much worse than bows and arrows, even if they are used for hunting, they can only kill small animals such as birds and rabbits, not to mention large-scale military operations.

However, because slingshots are lighter, easier to carry and use than bows and arrows, and their close-range lethality is not weak, they are widely circulated among the people. In many martial arts novels, slingshots are used as weapons by chivalrous men. However, due to the limitation of its own function, slingshot has little influence in the history of sports in China, and it has never been elegant, so it can only exist as an entertainment tool.

3, the production of slingshots

You can use the ribs of an umbrella as a slingshot frame, which is only time-consuming, laborious and expensive. Buy an elastic rubber band, just like the magic one. First, put it on from the pocket of the slingshot. Fold the four rubber bands in half, align them with the eight holes of the folded rubber bands, then wear them, and so on. Make five rubber bands, and put eight rubber bands in a circle on the slingshot's shoulder, and it's done.

4. Maintenance methods

Usually after each use, if you don't use it for a long time, you should clean it and put it away after drying in the shade. If possible, sprinkle some talcum powder before putting it away to prevent it from sticking. When storing, don't put it with things with sharp thorns and edges to avoid damage.
