A slingshot is a small hand-powered projectile weapon. It has a pocket for holding the projectile. Each end of the pocket is attached to a rubber band, which is attached to the ends of a fork-shaped frame. There are steel hunting balls for slingshots that can kill small game.

Traditionally, a sling is fired by holding the frame in the non-dominant hand, extended at arms length. The pocket is gripped between thumb and forefinger of the dominant hand, pulled back and steadied on the cheek or in front of the mouth, the frame moved and aimed, and then the pocket released, firing the ammunition.

With practice, slingshots are effective against small rodents and birds at ranges up to 25 metres. The newer and more advanced slingshots can fire up to 200 meters. They are excellent for hunting rats and pigeons.
