Is the long pole slingshot a mechanical slingshot?

This is a mechanical slingshot. Long-rod slingshots usually use a long slingshot rod, and the bow force is transmitted to the arrow through the mechanical structure, so as to achieve the purpose of longer range and higher hit accuracy. Therefore, although the long-rod slingshot has no obvious mechanical parts, it is still a mechanical slingshot in essence. Mechanical slingshot is a kind of slingshot that uses mechanical devices to increase bow force. Compared with traditional hand-held slingshots, mechanical slingshots usually have higher bow force and range.
