Steel Slingshot Ammo 9.8 mm (30 pcs Pack)

Steel Slingshot Ammo 9.8 mm | 30 pcs Pack

Quality for Accurate Hits

Each ball in this set is made of high-quality steel with a silver-grey, polished finish. The smooth surface and perfect spherical shape ensure minimal air resistance and a smooth release from the slingshot pouch. Weighing approximately 4 g, the ball maintains sufficient impact energy and stability even when shooting at greater distances.

Historical Context

While the modern slingshot with rubber bands is a 19th-century invention (following the discovery of vulcanization), its predecessor—the ancient sling—is one of humanity's oldest projectile weapons. A simple leather loop in the hands of a skilled slinger could hurl stones with tremendous speed, as proven by the biblical story of David and Goliath. These modern steel balls represent the pinnacle of ammunition evolution for hand-held projectile weapons.

Safety and Maintenance

A slingshot is not a toy! Steel balls can ricochet dangerously off hard surfaces (stone, metal, concrete, water). Always use appropriate catchboxes (e.g., a hung blanket) and ensure a safe backstop behind your target. Never aim at people or animals. Store the ammo in a dry place to prevent rust.
