Slingshots
awemawson:
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:

mattinker:
I'm a Brit and I would call a sling a sling, and a slingshot a catapult!

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.
