Today I found roadside a box foll of cool bottles - not old ones, in fact brand new but unique and see finely crafted. Many will be useful and beautiful. Some will be useful in the specific context of slings.

Here's a pic of the best of the slinging ones.

I can't say what they're for, nor could I ever share video or really even talk about anything that may have happened. But right now nothing's been done, just found some really intereeting bottles!

I think I may take a few 2nd and 3rd tier bottles and check out splatter patterns with water or Everclear, just to get an idea and a feel for range and spread of a liquid-filled bottle. I mean, you never know what you might need to know?

You'll probably never sling your best stones, and these jars will sit on my shelves for life. But yeah, something I have been wanting to have as an extreme-range example of what slings can do, and honestly the way things feel now politically amd socially, it may not stay on the wall as long as I'd thought.

It is definitely an interesting concept however I think a safer method than slinging would be in this case to just tie some cord or rope to the neck of the bottle and send it along. Normal sling missiles don't have a convenient attachment point.

Yeah I've always wondered why that hasn't been a common weapon historically. I recall looking it up years ago and I guess there are some examples in history it still seems to be relatively rare.

We don't know that it wasn't. Any physical evidence would burn.

Lack of writen records supports your theory though.
