STAFF SLING:
This is an ordinary sling mounted on a quarterstaff
to increase the momentum and velocity of
the throw. A
hook on one end of the staff allows the
weapon to be swung
around the user’s head. The stone is released
by a small change
in the staff’s movement, unhooking the
sling in much the same
way as a trebuchet’s sling is released.
The sling portion of this weapon could easily
be wrapped
around the staff to allow its use as a
melee weapon if the user is
proficient in the quarterstaff. The main
advantage of the staff
sling is its added range over a regular
sling. Due to the gyrations
necessary to achieve this longer range,
the staff sling is
only usable in outdoor settings.
