A Little History of the Slingshot:

The slingshot, also known as a "slingshot" in English, is an object as old as the first human civilizations. Its origins go back thousands of years, where it was used as a hunting and defense tool. In antiquity, rudimentary versions were used to catch small game or ward off intruders. Over time, it became a popular toy for children worldwide, often symbolizing the spirit of rebellion and freedom.
