Is slingshot illegal?

Legal analysis: it is generally not illegal to use slingshots, provided that the current law does not explicitly restrict the purchase of slingshots as long as it does not hurt people. Slingshot is not a gun stipulated by relevant laws, so citizens are not prohibited from holding it. However, citizens should strictly abide by the provisions of relevant laws in the process of holding, and do not do anything harmful to citizens and society. If holding the slingshot sold by the seller causes injury, it may lead to civil compensation.

Legal basis: Article 32 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Public Security Administration Punishment illegally carries guns, ammunition, crossbows, daggers and other state-stipulated control devices, and is detained for not more than five days, and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan; If the circumstances are minor, a warning or a fine of not more than 200 yuan shall be imposed. Whoever illegally carries guns, ammunition, crossbows, daggers and other state-regulated control devices into public places or public transport shall be detained for more than 5 days 10 days, and may also be fined up to 500 yuan.
