After seeing Jorg's last slingshot video, the panther, I got to wondering if a slingshot like that would make a viable Bug Out Bag weapon. Its main use would be hunting small critters like rabbits and squirrels, but with strong bands I do believe that it could be a deadly weapon---with proper shot placement of course. Not very good for personal defense, but one takes what one can get.
I still believe that my ruger 22/45 is a better choice, but if searched for some reason officials might ignore such a "toy" or a non-gun friendly mate might be convinced add one to the pack. An added bonus would be that ammo is potentially under your feet. The quietness of the slingshot would be a great asset.
My only experience with slingshots is one that I bought when I was about 14 to play around with. It was pretty strong, but limited. What do you guys think?
