Yes David that's also my understanding - perhaps it's a difference in nomenclature either side of the Atlantic :scratch: |
| Brass_Machine:
Yeah... We call them things slingshots over here. |
| Alan Haisley:
Sometimes we call the other a "sling". Hopefully the context identifies the difference between the giant killer and the thing to holde a broken arm :scratch: Alan |
| mattinker:
I'm a Brit and I would call a sling a sling, and a slingshot a catapult! Regards, Matthew |
| Jonny:
As far as I can remember and used to make em as a kid early 70's, known as catapults. Catapults been around since 3rd century, slingshots after 1844. |
