Fun Fact: When the Roman legions were fighting the rugged celts of Scotland they used slingers who using a leather slingshot would hurl lead shot which had the stopping power of a .44 Magnumpistol and could kill a man from over 120 yards the distance between the end zones of an American football field.
They used specially made shot with holes in them. Archeologists had no idea the purpose of those holes. So, they did exactly what I would have done. They tossed a few and then the purpose of the holes was evident. They made a terrifyingly demonic wailing sound as they flew. Imagine being a superstitious Scottish tribesman huddling your hill fort. It’s dawn. The mist hangs heavy on the ground as it always does and then, out of nowhere you hear these demonic wails and men start to drop all around you.
