Name	Sling bullet
Launcher	Sling
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 slings using the Slings skill (the other being stones). They are lighter than stones, deal more damage, and can be found branded. Unlike stones, however, they cannot simply be thrown and they can be eaten by jellies and other item-devouring enemies.

Sling bullets can have the following brands:

• Flame
• Frost
• Venom
• Silver
• Steel
• Exploding
