This weapon falls into the 'Slings' category. It is a one-handed weapon.
Hunting slings are one-handed ranged weapons. They accept both stones and sling bullets as ammunition, but using sling bullets will increase your damage significantly. Although weaker than bows or crossbows, they only require one hand, making them a good secondary weapon option for characters using shields. Most sling-users will want to upgrade to a greatsling at some point for superior damage while remaining one-handed.
History
Hunting slings were added in 0.15, replacing the simple sling.
