[[Sling bullet]]s are one of the two kinds of [[missile]]s fired from [[hunting sling]]s or [[greatsling]]s using the [[Slings]] skill (the other being [[stone]]s). They deal more damage than stones and can carry [[brand]]s, but cannot simply be thrown and will be eaten by [[jelly|jellies]] and other item-devouring enemies.

Name Sling bullet
Launcher Sling / Greatsling
Base damage 6
A small, heavy projectile shaped specifically for use with slings. It is more effective as ammunition than simple stones.

"For when things are once come to the execution, there is no secrecy comparable to celerity; like the motion of a bullet in the air, which flieth so swift as it outruns the eye."

-Francis Bacon, _Essays_, "Of Delays". 1625.

Sling bullets are one of the two kinds of missiles fired from hunting slings or greatslings using the Slings skill (the other being stones). They deal more damage than stones, but cannot simply be thrown.
