A slingshot, also known as a shanghai or pea shooter, is a simple ranged weapon that consists of a Y-shaped frame with an elastic band attached to the ends. It is used to launch small projectiles, such as stones or marbles, by pulling back on the elastic band and releasing it.
Slingshots have been used for centuries for hunting, warfare, and recreation. They are a relatively inexpensive and easy-to-make weapon, and they can be surprisingly accurate and powerful. In some cultures, slingshots are even used for competitive sports.
