👉 A bag weapon, also known as a slingshot or sling, is a simple yet effective projectile weapon consisting of a bag or pouch attached to a frame, typically made of leather or wood, with a loop or netting at one end and a trigger mechanism at the other. When released, the bag is swung or pulled back, storing potential energy that is transferred to the projectile when it is let go. This design allows for the launching of stones, small balls, or other lightweight objects over considerable distances with moderate accuracy, making it a versatile tool used in various historical and contemporary settings.
