What everyone thinks David and Goliath was: A massive invincible warrior fights a child throwing rocks
What David and Goliath actually was: A guy with a sword pulls up and David domes him with the ancient equivalent of .45 ACP

Sorry, Animal Kingdom. Looks like that 4.2 billion year arms race of yours just became meaningless.

Sling bullets inscribed with taunts have been found. There was a Greek one from the 4th century BCE that just said ‘Catch!’ My favourite is a Roman one that said something to the effect of ‘For Octavian’s Asshole!’, implying that Octavian would be running from the battlefield when he got hit.

In skilled hands their power is underestimated to this day. You can kill lions and crush bronze helmets with lead ammunition. The Romans didn’t need to use archers because they issued slings to legionnaires instead. A primitive weapon this powerful can only be a gift straight from the Hand of God to protect ourselves, our families, and our flocks.
