So no slingshot?

Spot on. A lot of people picture a modern slingshot, but those didn't exist back then. David used a classic military sling. You spin it in a circle and release one cord to fire. In ancient armies, slingers were the equivalent of modern snipers or artillery units. It was a brutally lethal weapon.

Actually that is the one I was refering to. No sword

So interesting. Thanks for sharing Titan’s hard won secret and Goliath’s possible handicaps.

There is a basic assumption here that both David and Goliath existed.
