A deadly weapon, and a genuine artefact of the warlike states of Ancient Greece, we have a small number of authentic Lead Sling Bullets available – each crafted by hand more than 2,000 years ago!
When you think about the slingshot, you think of the classic Biblical story of David & Goliath. In that Old Testament tale, the young shepherd David brings down the giant Goliath, armed only with a sling – a seemingly remarkable victory against all odds! And, yet, the reality is that the humble sling could indeed bring down the mightiest of warriors.
In the right hands, a sling could hurl a lead bullet at an astonishing 160km per hour, and hit a target up to 400 metres away! When that lead bullet did hit its target, it could do some serious damage. Ancient writers tell us that such a bullet could pierce shields, penetrate deep into the flesh, shatter bones, and potentially kill an enemy soldier.
A fascinating memento of the warriors of Greece, and the bloody wars fought in Ancient times, each 2,000+ year-old Lead Sling Bullet is guaranteed as genuine. Astonishingly affordable, we have only a small number in stock. Click add to cart now!
