David slew Goliath with his slingshot: for millennia that was the norm, as men used a variety of non-explosive weapons to fire small stones and carefully rounded bullets of clay, glass, and even steel and lead. This study explores in practical detail the many ways, old and new, in which man shot projectiles without recourse to gunpowder.
