It was thought the holes were to contain poison. John Reid of the Trimontium Trust, finding holed Roman bullets excavated at the Burnswark hillfort, has proposed that the holes would cause the bullets to "whistle" in flight and the sound would intimidate opponents. The holed bullets were generally small and thus not particularly dangerous. Several could fit into a pouch and a single slinger could produce a terrorizing barrage. Experiments with modern copies demonstrate they produce a whooshing sound in flight. [34] The sling in medieval period [ edit ] Europe [ edit ] And so to Bruce. A dagger in the heart of his career, it took him years to shake off the eye-rolling, teeth-baring charade he puts us through here. Uncomfortable with the script, the cast and, seemingly, life itself by series 2 (the mere existence of which is hard to fathom), it’s both sad, ridiculous and tremendous to see Britain’s top star of the Seventies mouth moving as other actors say their lines. The episodes end with either preposterous freeze-frames of Bruce’s funniest bits or, best of all, Bruce continuing to gurn, his teak toupée spinning as he crashes through piles of tins and strains to prevent himself from hollering “Good game! Good game!” as the cast of guilty parties scrolls up the screen to the sounds of an audience laughing themselves to sleep.

For a given mass, lead, being very dense, offers the minimum size and therefore minimum air resistance. In addition, leaden sling-bullets are small and difficult to see in flight; their concentrated impact is also a better armour-piercer and better able to penetrate a body.

Use clear and unambiguous signals to direct the actions of a crane moving loads of various weights and dimensions.Ancient poets wrote that sling-bullets could penetrate armour, and that lead projectiles, heated by their passage through the air, would melt in flight. [27] [28] In the first instance, it seems likely that the authors were indicating that slings could cause injury through armour by a percussive effect ( i.e., the energy of a sling-bullet delivered at high velocity causing blunt trauma injury upon impact) rather than by penetration. In the latter case we may imagine that they were impressed by the degree of deformation suffered by lead sling-bullet after hitting a hard target. [29] Establish the weight and dimensions of loads and communicate this information to the crane operator. Piao Shi (飃石, lit. 'whirlwind stone'), also known as Shou Pao (手砲, lit. hand cannon) during the Song period, is the Chinese name for staff sling. It consists of a short cord tied to one end of a five chi bamboo pole, and is usually employed in siege defense alongside larger stone throwers.
