Ancient Chinese slingshots and our common bow shape is roughly the same, except that there is a pocket that can hold the projectiles in the middle of the bowstring. The pocket was usually a hard, hemispherical shape that could hold a single projectile, not unlike the slingshots children play with and the power slingshots sold on major Web sites.

Ancient slingshots were generally used for sneak attacks, as the sound of a slingshot's projectile is much smaller than that of an arrow, making it suitable for sneak attacks, and therefore also classified as a concealed weapon.

The slingshot projectile is earth or iron bullet (with the stone is not realistic, irregular shape flying trajectory is not good to grasp, grinding round cost money and time, not as good as burning a clay) projectile and arrow shot energy should be almost the same, but the lethality of the projectile is far less than the arrow, so the slingshot was not used in the war records.
