Sling catapult

I just learned that it's called a slingshot. Sorry :)

Oh,dear, no! A slingshot is not the same thing as a catapult.

A slingshot like David used?

I know now, sorry. Google translate confused me and I had to use it because I couldn't remember what it's called in English. I remembered though.

I'm not sure if David used it - I think that's it, but I'm not really sure, I posted a photo to explain what I mean.

Yes, David used a slingshot. A catapult is a Y shaped weapon that fires much more accurately than a slingshot. The Roman Army used a very large catapult that could fire a spear.

Brysing I believe that is called a balista

True, that is the name.But, in essence, it was a catapult.

Well to my understanding what David used was called a sling which one puts a stone inside of it and twirls it round and round and releases it at the target. A sling shot unlike the basic sling in the movies has a grip and a Y type connector where the sling connects to each end of the Y, a stone or whatever is then placed in the leather part then pulled back by the hand like a bow and released. The basic sling is much older then a sling shot and can do a lot more damage.

In America, what you've described as a Slingshot, in England is called a catapult.

Does anyone know what could it represent in a reading? :)
