    Honestly, if that guy can knock out a drone with a rock from a sling like that, he’s an unbelievable badass and deserves respect.

      1. Slings are fucking DEADLY

      2. Slings are very accurate

      3. They can be made from simple household materials

      4. They are very quick to become proficient at

      5. Ammo is free and everywhere

    I see they’ve upgraded from large sticks to stone slings. Next up is… bows and arrows with stone heads?

    If the drone is low enough for this guy to explode with a sling, it’s already reached its target.

    Also curtains for him and everyone within the blast radius.

      Much worse than a shotgun with bird shot, but when compared to a rifle or pistol, a sling is easier to learn, and also easier for a beginner to hit a slow moving target like a rabbit or bird.

      Training will quickly reverse that, but training takes time and resources.
