Description

A slingshot, also called a shanghai or a catapult (not to be confused with the catapult siege engine) is a small hand-powered projectile weapon. It has a pocket for holding the projectile. Each end of the pocket is attached to a rubber band, which is attached to the ends of a fork-shaped frame.

To use it, one holds the bottom of the frame, and sights through the fork. One places the projectile (usually a small stone or metal ball) into the pocket. Then one grasps the projectile through the pocket, and pulls back against the rubber bands, stretching the rubber bands between the pocket and the frame. When one releases the pocket, the stretched rubber bands accelerate the pocket, and projectile.

A slingshot champion appearing on the David Letterman Show some years ago said to hold the projectile pocket at a fixed position near the body, such as the hip, and move the frame based on gut feeling and practice, just like a gunslinger or hip-shooter in the American wild west. Many gunslingers could hit a target without raising their weapon to eye level.
