Ancient plastic?
The '''sling''', also called the '''shepherd's sling''', is an ancient weapon consisting of a plastic cup held by two long loops of rope. It is used by putting a stone in the cup, grasping both cords with the dominant hand, swinging it around, and firing it by releasing one of the cords.
