And now for something completely different... Due to difficult

They're super fun. Prob wont do much damage to anything bigger than a cat

Real slings are more deadly.

Awesome defense in cat related attacks.

A bearing in a slingshot will break a skull

I've used slingshots both for fun and for hunting: they're excellent for small to medium sized game, and depending on how good a shot you are, they can be effective up to 300 yards.

As a self-defense tool, I can say they'd be great if you're able to put some distance between yourself and potential threats, but it's completely worthless up close, where even a gun can do damage.

My recommendation is to use the knife for close encounters, and train/hunt with the slingshot for extended periods before attempting to use it for self-defense: when you can peg a squirrel at 200 yards effectively, you're good to go.

Mind me asking what country you're from, /k/omrade?

>>28297901
you better git gud at quick drawing and being accurate as fuck. You're only going to stop someone from pushing in your boy pussy, with a slingshot, if you're landing marbles on his melanin enriched face.

Use glass marbles, as big as you can handle.

I feel sorry for you, man; Belgium has pretty shit self-defense laws, and I actually think a Slingshot is illegal for such use there: my original advice still stands, but make sure you talk with local law enforcement to be absolutely sure about how they would likely handle a case where you use it.

A slingshot for self defense is really really retarded. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a slingshot can smash someones face in but honestly it's going to take too long to prepare to fire.
Time that should be used to lube instead.

>300 yards
Goddamn how big is that fucking sling shot?

I'll explain how my laws work.

I'll leave the "how to get a gun legally" part.

But, I have a gun.
Guess how I have to keep it.
The gun should be unloaded in a locked compartment. The ammo and clip/magazine should be in another locked compartment.

By the time I unlocked both, loaded the gun and fired, I might already given someone a broken skull with a slingshot.

>>28298249
Get locks that are easier and faster to open and keep the sling shot or bat as a back up in case you can't get it open quick enough

>>28298095
>Have some of the best gun laws in the world
>Can literally buy machine guns
>Want a fucking slingshot instead

What the hell is wrong with you, OP?

>>28298038
This, but you will probably be too close to use a sling effectively if you actually need to defend yourself

>>28297901
same problem here, got a hunting recurve bow I'll use for far to medium distance defence. 60 pound draw weight and broadheads that punches through anything.
Got nothing for close-medium range, need to get a spear for that.
For close combat I got an axe, not optimal but better than nothing, would suck to fight at such close distance either way.
