Slingshot is a cold weapon or a game tool.

Slingshot is generally composed of bow frame, rubber band and leather bag. It is usually a "ya" shape made of branches. Rubber bands are tied at both ends of the rubber band, and a piece of skin wrapped in a projectile is tied in the middle of the rubber band.

The strength of the slingshot depends on the tension and rebound speed of the rubber band. The greater the tension of the rubber band, the heavier the projectile that can be matched, and the faster the rebound speed of the rubber band, which can provide a larger initial velocity for the projectile. The heavier the projectile, the higher the muzzle velocity and the greater the power.

According to the launching mechanism, slingshots can be divided into bow slingshots and elastic slingshots. Bow slingshot has the most primitive bow slingshot and crossbow.
