Which is more powerful, a slingshot or a flat leather slingshot

Round leather bands are more powerful.

Flat leather bands to provide a greater pulling force should be made thick and wide, that is, the rubber cross-sectional area, so it is very bulky, the same made into a round shape appears to be dexterous. And there are many ways to tie, simple and practical.

The slingshot is a cold weapon or game tool. The slingshot is generally made of tree branches, "Ya" shape, on the two ends of the tie on the leather band, the leather band in the middle of the tie on a package of projectiles on the leather block.

Flat leather slingshot power:

The power of the size of the projectile depends on the initial velocity of the projectile, the initial velocity and the kinetic energy of the leather band to the projectile is related to the contraction of the leather band contraction process of the contraction of the distance and the force of the leather band stretches more than the greater the contraction of the force is greater.

So the skin band is very short, although the stretch ratio is large, but the acceleration distance is short. The longer the tendon is, the less it pulls, and the less rebound it has. To realize the potential of the tendon in your hand, divide your arm's ability to stretch the tendon length by the tendon's stretch limit, which is the optimal tendon length.

And then the bow is full to release quickly, waiting for a longer time the slower the rebound speed.
