{{flavour|A piece of cloth and leather for launching stones, which do a small amount of damage on impact. Unlike with other launchers, wearing a shield does not slow down its rate of fire.

{{crawlquote|This weapon falls into the '[[Slings]]' category. It uses [[stone]]s and [[sling bullet]]s as ammunition. Note that while the base damage is 0, the base damage of stones and sling bullets are added to give overall base damages of 4 and 6, respectively.}}
 
 
 
The '''sling''' is the weakest of the ranged launchers. They can use either [[sling bullet]]s or [[stone]]s for ammo, with sling bullets doing significantly more damage. While slings lack the stopping power of [[longbow]]s and [[crossbow]]s, they can be fired quickly even at low skill levels, suffer no penalty when used with [[shields]], benefit significantly from both [[strength]] and [[dexterity]], and can be used with stones to take out annoying early [[jellies]] from a safe distance.
