Sling

A sling is a simple yet effective projectile weapon consisting of a short strap, cord, or leather pouch bound between two longer strings or thongs, swung in a circular motion to release one end and hurl ammunition such as smooth stones, clay pellets, or molded lead bullets at targets via centrifugal force.^[1]^[2] The device amplifies human arm strength to achieve ranges exceeding those of unassisted throws, with skilled users capable of accurate strikes over distances up to several hundred meters, making it suitable for both hunting small game and military engagements against unarmored or lightly protected foes.^[3]^[4] Archaeological evidence traces the sling's origins to the Neolithic era, circa 10,000 BCE, positioning it among the earliest mechanical ranged weapons developed by prehistoric societies for subsistence and defense, well before widespread adoption of bows in many cultures.^[3] Its design required minimal materials—often just animal sinew, leather scraps, and locally sourced stones—allowing rapid production and deployment by infantry units, which contributed to its prevalence across ancient Near Eastern, Mediterranean, and Mesoamerican civilizations, including Hebrew forces as depicted in biblical accounts and Greek armies supporting hoplite phalanxes.^[5]^[4] Balearic slingers, renowned for their proficiency, exemplified its tactical value in skirmishing and sieges, where high-volume fire and arcing trajectories enabled suppression of enemy positions from afar.^[3] The sling's defining characteristics include a high rate of fire—potentially several projectiles per minute—coupled with versatility in payload, from egg-sized lithic ammunition for blunt trauma to aerodynamic lead glandes inscribed with taunts during the Roman era, which could deform on impact to maximize tissue damage against exposed flesh or thin armor.^[4]^[6] Though eventually overshadowed by composite bows and gunpowder in post-classical warfare due to training demands and vulnerability to wind or rain, its enduring legacy underscores principles of mechanical advantage and economical force multiplication, influencing later slingshot variants and highlighting human ingenuity in leveraging physics for lethality.^[3]^[6]

Projectile weapons

Historical development and cultures

The sling emerged as one of the earliest projectile weapons during the Upper Paleolithic period, with indirect evidence from standardized stone ammunition suggesting its use for hunting around 10,000 B.C. in various regions, including Europe and the Near East; these implements consisted of simple straps or cords fashioned from natural materials like leather or plant fibers, paired with readily available river stones or pebbles to exploit rotational momentum for propulsion.^[3] Archaeological caches of uniformly shaped sling stones from Neolithic sites in the Levant, dating to approximately 5200 B.C., provide the earliest direct indications of organized production for both hunting and rudimentary conflict, predating more complex ranged weapons like bows.^[7] By the 3rd millennium B.C., the sling had evolved from a pastoral hunting tool into a staple of military arsenals across Bronze Age civilizations, as evidenced by depictions in Mesopotamian and Egyptian art and the recovery of clay projectiles from northern Mesopotamia dating back to the 6th millennium B.C., which imply iterative refinement for warfare.^[8] Assyrian forces integrated slingers into siege operations by the 8th century B.C., as illustrated in reliefs from Sennacherib's palace at Nineveh depicting the 701 B.C. assault on Lachish, where slingers hurled stones to suppress defenders atop walls.^[5] Similarly, biblical accounts from around 1000 B.C. portray the sling's efficacy in asymmetric engagements among Israelite forces, such as David's use of a shepherd's sling and smooth stones to fell the Philistine champion Goliath, reflecting its commonplace role in pastoral societies transitioning to organized militias.^[9] In the classical Mediterranean world, specialized sling-using cultures elevated the weapon's tactical prominence; Rhodian slingers from the Greek island of Rhodes gained renown for their accuracy in Hellenistic armies, while Balearic Islanders off Iberia's coast produced elite mercenaries prized for marksmanship, serving Carthaginian and Roman commanders from the 3rd century B.C. onward due to their childhood training regimens that honed precision with local slings.^[1] This period also saw innovations like lead bullets, cast into aerodynamic shapes and inscribed with taunts or invocations, which enhanced penetration and range compared to stone ammunition; examples from 5th-century B.C. Greek contexts onward, including Hellenistic finds in Israel, underscore their adoption for increased lethality in professional warfare.^[10]^[11]

Mechanics, ammunition, and effectiveness

The sling functions as a simple centrifugal projectile launcher, consisting of a flexible strap or cord—typically 0.5 to 1 meter long—with a central pouch or cradle for holding the ammunition. One end is retained in the user's hand while the other is released after swinging the apparatus in a vertical or horizontal arc, converting the slinger's rotational kinetic energy into the projectile's linear velocity through centripetal acceleration.^[3] This mechanism allows skilled operators to impart velocities exceeding 90 meters per second, surpassing the typical 60 meters per second of longbow arrows for comparable projectile masses, thereby yielding up to 125% greater kinetic energy due to the velocity-squared relationship in the formula KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2.^[3] Ammunition primarily comprises dense, aerodynamic projectiles optimized for stability and impact: river-rounded stones or fieldstones (often 20-50 grams, irregular but abundant and free), baked clay pellets for uniformity in training, and molded lead bullets (glandes) weighing 30-100 grams, cast in almond or acorn shapes to minimize drag and enhance penetration.^[8] Roman-era lead examples frequently bore inscriptions such as "DEXAI" (Greek for "take that") or winged thunderbolt motifs, serving both psychological and ballistic purposes by standardizing weight for consistent trajectories.^[12] Lead variants, denser than stone, allowed for smaller, faster projectiles suitable for close-range lethality, while stones sufficed for longer lobs due to their availability across cultures.^[6] In terms of effectiveness, the sling's low material cost and high power-to-weight ratio made it viable for mass deployment, with modern chronograph tests confirming muzzle energies of 50-150 joules for lead bullets—sufficient to fracture unprotected skulls or ribs, equivalent in impact to low-end handgun rounds against soft tissue.^[13] Empirical reconstructions, including those by experienced practitioners after minimal training (e.g., 10 hours yielding 180-meter ranges), demonstrate accuracy within 10-20 meters at 50-100 meters for trained users, with penetration capabilities exceeding those of contemporary arrows in unarmored targets due to superior velocity retention.^[14] However, effectiveness diminishes against shielded or armored foes, as flat trajectories limit deflection resistance compared to lobbing fire, underscoring the weapon's reliance on operator skill for optimal causal impact.^[15]

Military applications and tactical roles

In ancient warfare, slings served primarily as weapons for light infantry skirmishers, enabling armies to equip large numbers of levies economically with minimal training and ammunition costs, as stones or lead bullets could be sourced locally in abundance.^[5] Carthaginian forces exemplified this by recruiting Balearic slingers, renowned for their accuracy and range exceeding 300 meters, to harass enemy formations and disrupt cavalry charges; at the Battle of Zama in 202 BC, Hannibal deployed Balearic slingers behind his mercenaries and elephants to support the front line against Roman legions, though Roman tactical adaptations like cavalry superiority and elephant countermeasures limited their impact.^[16]^[17] Similarly, Persian armies at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC employed slingers alongside archers to inflict casualties on Greek hoplites from afar, but the Athenian charge neutralized this missile advantage by closing distance rapidly.^[18] Slingers often screened heavy infantry, providing covering fire to soften enemy advances or break charges against unarmored troops, with lead projectiles capable of delivering blunt trauma equivalent to modern small-caliber gunfire, as evidenced by archaeological finds of cranial fractures in ancient skeletons attributed to sling stones, such as a probable perimortem wound in a Mycenaean burial from the Athenian Agora.^[19] This lethality counters modern historiographical tendencies to underrate slings as primitive "toys," with empirical data from battlefield recreations and trauma patterns indicating they could decisively thin ranks in open engagements, particularly against lightly protected foes or during sieges where arcing trajectories cleared obstacles.^[20] However, their tactical roles were constrained by a steep proficiency barrier—requiring years of practice for precision—and vulnerability to environmental factors like wind and rain, which disrupted the whirling motion and reduced accuracy compared to self-bows.^[3] By late antiquity and into the medieval period, slings waned in prominence due to the rise of crossbows, which demanded less individual skill for effective volley fire and armor penetration, allowing broader conscript use without specialized recruitment like the Balearics.^[3] Gunpowder weapons from the 16th century onward accelerated this decline, offering superior range, reliability in adverse weather, and penetrating power against plate armor, rendering slings obsolete for organized tactical roles despite occasional partisan use.^[5]

Medical and supportive devices

Injury support slings

Injury support slings are orthopedic devices designed to immobilize injured upper limbs, primarily the arm and shoulder, by suspending the forearm and redistributing gravitational loads to prevent excessive strain on joints and soft tissues during initial healing phases.^[21] These aids promote biomechanical stability, limiting pendulum-like motion of the arm that could exacerbate fractures, dislocations, or ligamentous injuries.^[22] The standard arm sling employs a triangular cloth bandage, typically formed by folding a square fabric diagonally, which cradles the forearm across the chest and secures via ties around the neck and torso to counter shoulder torque.^[23] This configuration, in use since ancient Egypt for shoulder fractures—where the arm was rested in a sling for about 40 days alongside bandaging—evolved into modern elastic or prefabricated versions for adjustable tension and hygiene.^[24] Contemporary shoulder immobilizers build on this by integrating foam padding, rigid straps, and abduction pillows to enforce near-total restriction of glenohumeral motion, outperforming basic slings in stabilizing post-surgical or severe trauma cases by minimizing subluxation risks.^[25] Clinically, slings are integral to emergency protocols after closed reduction of shoulder dislocations or clavicular fractures, averting secondary soft-tissue trauma through load offloading; randomized trials demonstrate broad arm slings yield significantly lower pain scores on visual analog scales (VAS) during the first four weeks compared to alternatives like figure-of-eight bandages.^[26] Such outcomes stem from evidence that immobilization reduces inflammatory cascades and muscular guarding, with union rates enhanced when combined with supportive taping in midshaft clavicle cases.^[27] Variations extend to lower limbs, including leg slings integrated into patient transfer systems for hip fractures, which position the pelvis in neutral flexion to safeguard fracture sites during mobility-limited recovery without promoting contractures.^[28] Traction-adapted slings for femoral fractures further apply controlled tension via pelvic anchors, verifiable in reducing displacement per radiographic follow-up, though efficacy hinges on precise application to avoid neurovascular compromise.^[29]

Therapeutic and pharmaceutical uses

Sling Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company founded in 2022, is developing linsitinib, an oral small-molecule inhibitor of the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), for the treatment of thyroid eye disease (TED), an autoimmune condition characterized by orbital inflammation and proptosis.^[30] Linsitinib targets the IGF-1R pathway implicated in TED pathogenesis, aiming to reduce inflammation and tissue expansion without requiring invasive surgery or intravenous administration, unlike existing therapies such as teprotumumab.^[31] In preclinical and early clinical data from prior trials involving over 900 patients across 15 studies, linsitinib demonstrated a safety profile with manageable adverse events, including no drug-related hearing impairments or significant hyperglycemia.^[32] The Phase 2b/3 LIDS trial (NCT05276063), a randomized, double-masked study enrolling patients with active TED, reported positive topline results on January 14, 2025, meeting its primary endpoint of proptosis reduction greater than 2 mm in at least one eye at week 24 with the 150 mg twice-daily dose compared to placebo (p<0.001).^[33] Secondary endpoints included improvements in clinical activity scores and quality-of-life measures, such as reduced diplopia and enhanced orbital volume reduction via MRI, positioning linsitinib as a potential first oral therapy with statistically and clinically significant efficacy in TED.^[34] These outcomes contrast with corticosteroid alternatives, which often induce systemic side effects like weight gain, osteoporosis, and glucose dysregulation in up to 30-50% of patients, while avoiding the infusion-related burdens and high costs (over $300,000 per course) of biologics like teprotumumab.^[31] Linsitinib's development follows FDA fast-track designation granted in 2023, with plans for a New Drug Application submission anticipated in 2026 pending full data analysis and regulatory review.^[35] No other pharmaceutical agents branded or mechanistically tied to "sling" have advanced to late-stage trials for distinct therapeutic indications as of 2025, though exploratory research into IGF-1R inhibition extends to oncology and metabolic disorders, underscoring the pathway's broader causal role in tissue hyperplasia.^[32] Efficacy in TED trials emphasizes measurable reductions in proptosis (mean 2.5-3 mm) and inflammation scores, supported by histopathological evidence of decreased glycosaminoglycan deposition in orbital fibroblasts, without reliance on subjective patient reports alone.^[33]

Carriers and clothing

Baby and child carriers

Baby slings, also known as babywearing carriers, consist of fabric designs such as pouches, ring slings, and wraps that enable hands-free infant transport by distributing the child's weight across the caregiver's shoulders, back, and hips.^[36] Pouch slings form a simple tube of fabric draped over one shoulder, while ring slings use aluminum rings to adjust a single layer of fabric for tension, and wrap slings involve tying long stretches of woven or elastic material around the torso in multiple passes.^[37] These configurations originated in indigenous practices, including African traditions employing kanga cloths for secure wrapping and Asian methods like the mei tai, which features padded straps for extended carrying, facilitating maternal mobility during daily tasks and fostering close physical contact for infant regulation of temperature and heart rate.^[38]^[37] Ergonomic benefits arise from proper weight distribution, with studies indicating that slings incorporating waist belts and shoulder straps minimize muscle activation in the caregiver's lower back and lumbar regions compared to unstructured carrying.^[39] For infants, positioning in an "M" shape—with knees higher than hips and thighs supported—aligns with natural spinal curvature and promotes healthy hip joint development by maintaining abduction and flexion, reducing risks associated with developmental dysplasia when used from birth.^[40] Such carriers enhance parental autonomy by allowing navigation of uneven terrain or crowded spaces inaccessible to strollers, freeing hands for errands or household duties without reliance on external childcare infrastructure.^[41] Safety concerns center on positional asphyxia and suffocation, particularly in pouch or bag-style slings that may compress an infant's airway if the fabric curls the body into a C-shape or obstructs the face against the caregiver's body.^[42] The American Academy of Pediatrics advises keeping the infant's face visible and upright, with the chin off the chest and nose/mouth free of fabric, and avoiding use for sleep or with infants under four months unless tightly secured.^[42] Misuse has led to documented incidents, underscoring the need for size-appropriate fits and caregiver training to prevent entrapment.^[43] Contemporary adaptations include woven wraps from breathable materials like cotton or linen, adjustable via sliding rings or knots to accommodate diverse caregiver body types and infant sizes up to 35 pounds, often with reinforced seams for durability.^[44] These designs prioritize ergonomic load transfer to hips and pelvis, contrasting with stroller dependency by enabling self-reliant mobility in urban or rural settings, though empirical data on long-term parental strain reduction remains limited to biomechanical analyses rather than large-scale longitudinal trials.^[39]

Other wearable slings

Utility slings, distinct from child carriers, encompass shoulder-worn straps designed for adult gear transport, including historical baldrics used to holster swords and pouches across the torso for quick weapon or tool access.^[45] In medieval Europe, baldrics were broad leather belts draped over one shoulder to the opposite hip, securing blades up to 47 inches long via adjustable frogs and rivets for combat readiness, prioritizing draw speed over encumbrance.^[46] These designs distributed weight to reduce fatigue during extended marches, often featuring reinforced hardware for durability in field conditions.^[47] Modern equivalents include sling bags, compact crossbody packs typically 2-5 liters in volume, engineered for urban utility with nylon or water-resistant fabrics to withstand weather and abrasion.^[48] Adjustable straps enable single-shoulder carry across the chest or back, facilitating hands-free movement while allowing rapid access to essentials like wallets, phones, or concealed firearms via dedicated pockets.^[49] Tactical variants incorporate MOLLE webbing for modular attachments and anti-theft features such as slash-resistant materials, enhancing security in crowded environments by keeping items close to the body.^[50] Compared to backpacks, sling bags offer superior balance and concealability for self-defense items, as the forward-facing position permits intuitive retrieval without removal, though they sacrifice capacity for loads exceeding daily essentials.^[51] This trade-off suits labor-intensive or fashion-oriented applications, where minimalism and mobility trump bulk storage, but prolonged heavy use may strain one shoulder absent ergonomic padding.^[52]

Beverages

Alcoholic cocktails

A sling denotes a category of cocktails featuring a base spirit such as gin, combined with sugar, water or soda, and often bitters or nutmeg for flavoring, with records tracing its popularity to the late 18th century in America and subsequent spread to England.^[53]^[54] The term originally described a simple sweetened and diluted liquor, as documented in colonial-era bartending practices, where it served as a foundational mixture predating more complex modern cocktails.^[55] By the 19th century, slings had evolved in British colonial settings, incorporating local ingredients like fruit juices to suit tropical environments.^[56] The Singapore Sling, first prepared in 1915 at Singapore's Raffles Hotel by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon, represents a prominent tropical variant, blending 30 ml gin, 15 ml cherry Heering, 7.5 ml Bénédictine, 7.5 ml Cointreau, 120 ml pineapple juice, 15 ml lime juice, and dashes of Angostura bitters, shaken and strained over ice with soda.^[57]^[58] This recipe, preserved in hotel archives, yields a pink-hued, fruit-forward drink that became emblematic of Southeast Asian hospitality, with its creation attributed to adapting European slings for the equatorial climate.^[59] Simpler iterations, such as the classic gin sling, eschew fruit components for brevity, typically comprising 2 ounces gin dissolved with sugar and water or lemon juice, topped with soda and bitters, emphasizing the spirit's botanicals over sweetness.^[60] These variations proliferated in 19th- and early 20th-century recipe books, reflecting slings' role as accessible, effervescent refreshments in naval and expatriate circles.^[61] Sling cocktails generally register 15-20% alcohol by volume, diluted by juices and soda to deliver a lighter profile than undiluted spirits, though their elevated sugar levels—often exceeding 20 grams per serving in fruit-based versions—can obscure alcohol's effects, underscoring the need for measured intake to avoid overconsumption.^[62]^[63] Their effervescence and acidity render them particularly suited to hot weather, aiding hydration alongside mild inebriation, yet nutritional analyses highlight risks from fructose overload in frequent use.^[64]

Technology and media

Streaming and broadcasting services

Sling TV, launched by Dish Network on February 9, 2015, operates as an over-the-top (OTT) internet streaming service delivering live television channels without requiring traditional cable or satellite infrastructure. Its base packages, Sling Orange and Sling Blue, start at $40 per month and include 30 to 46 channels focused on news, entertainment, and sports, supplemented by cloud DVR storage and access to over 120,000 on-demand titles. The service targets cord-cutters seeking affordable alternatives to bloated cable bundles, enabling à la carte channel selection via add-ons rather than forcing comprehensive packages. In early 2025, Sling TV expanded its offerings by adding 10 new channels, including niche networks for lifestyle and international content, while introducing 4K ultra-high-definition broadcasts for select Major League Baseball games to attract sports enthusiasts. These enhancements aimed to counter competitive pressures from integrated streaming bundles like those from YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV, which bundle linear TV with on-demand libraries from major studios. Subscriber metrics reveal challenges, with Sling TV reporting a net loss of 198,000 pay-TV subscribers in the first quarter of 2025, contributing to Dish Network's overall decline amid accelerated cord-cutting and viewer migration to ad-supported free services like Tubi or bundled SVOD platforms. This downturn underscores economic realities: while Sling's low-price model undercuts cable's $100+ monthly averages, retention suffers from limited original content and reliance on retransmission consent negotiations that lead to blackouts, such as the 2023 ABC/ESPN disruptions. Legal disputes further illustrate market tensions; in August 2025, Disney sued Sling TV and Dish, claiming the service's "mini-bundles" of select channels violated exclusive carriage agreement terms by circumventing full-bundle distribution requirements. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, seeks damages and injunctions, reflecting content owners' pushback against fragmented distribution models that erode revenue from traditional pay-TV economics. Parent company EchoStar, post its 2023 merger with Dish, has de-emphasized prior 5G wireless expansion plans—once touted for integrated streaming delivery—in favor of cost-cutting amid $20 billion in debt, limiting infrastructure investments that could bolster Sling's competitiveness. Despite these hurdles, Sling maintains appeal for budget-conscious users prioritizing live local and national channels over premium ad-free experiences.

In children's literature, The Boy With a Sling (undated edition by Mary Warren) retells the David and Goliath story, focusing on the sling as a divine instrument of victory, targeted at ages 4-8.^[101] Classical literature features sling motifs in Homer's Iliad, where Thracian slingers deploy lead projectiles against Greek forces in Book 4, highlighting the weapon's tactical role in ancient Bronze Age warfare as described in the epic's battle sequences.^[102] These references underscore empirical lethality over mythological exaggeration, aligning with archaeological evidence of sling use in Homeric-era conflicts.

Film and other productions

''Sling Blade'' is a 1996 American Southern Gothic drama film written and directed by Billy Bob Thornton, who stars as Karl Childers, a man with limited intellectual capacity institutionalized since childhood after killing his mother and her lover with a makeshift blade. Released on August 30, 1996, the film follows Childers' release into rural Arkansas society, where he forms bonds but confronts past traumas and moral dilemmas involving violence. It grossed $24.4 million against a $1.2 million budget and earned Thornton the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1997, along with nominations for Best Actor and Best Film Editing.^[103] The title derives from Childers' description of the weapon—a sharpened lawnmower blade—as a "sling blade," likening it to a biblical sling while emphasizing its crude, improvised lethality rooted in the character's rudimentary worldview. The screenplay expanded from Thornton's 1994 short film ''Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade'', a 23-minute black-and-white piece directed by George Hickenlooper featuring Thornton and Molly Ringwald, which premiered at the Houston Film Festival and directly inspired the feature's opening sequence and core narrative.^[104] ''Singapore Sling'' (Greek: Singapore Sling: O anthropos pou agapise ena ptoma, lit. "Singapore Sling: The Man Who Loved a Corpse") is a 1990 Greek experimental thriller directed by Nikos Nikolaidis, released on December 6, 1990. Shot in black-and-white, it centers on a hard-boiled detective (Michele Valley) infiltrating a dysfunctional family's mansion after his daughter vanishes, descending into sadomasochistic rituals and psychological horror. Noted for its explicit content and homage to film noir, the 116-minute film achieved cult status in international arthouse circuits despite limited commercial release.^[105] Shorter productions include ''Silver Sling'' (2010), an 11-minute speculative fiction short co-produced by ITVS as part of the Futurestates anthology series, portraying elderly protagonists leveraging advanced prosthetics and surveillance in a near-future America to combat isolation and crime. Additionally, ''{SLING}'' is a 2018 animated short by Fig x Lee exploring themes of momentum and urban mobility through a skateboarding narrative, available via Vimeo. Documentaries featuring "sling" encompass historical weapon analyses, such as the 2021 mini-documentary episode ''The Sling'' from Weapons of Our World, examining the ancient projectile device's mechanics, materials, and tactical use from biblical slingers to medieval warfare.^[106]^[107]^[108]
