Slingshots And Clay Ammo

Ancient Romans are responsible for popularizing the slingshot. The Israelite army was the first to use a sling as a weapon 3,000 years ago, but the Romans took it on as a full-scale weapon after perfecting the skillful tactics to effectively use it in war. It was a simple woven sling with stone ammunition in ancient times, and today it’s a less-than-friendly playground toy according to teachers and principals.
