People have to stop thinking of Dennis the Menace or Bart Simpson's version of a sling. These were actual weapons back then the stones traveling around 60MPH at your head.

Well I also read a different article that said 60 so there you go even faster. I had the phone on mute just saw the part where it smashed the dummies head.
