From the transcript

Have you ever wondered how a small, unassuming weapon could change the course of history? While the humble sling, an ancient projectile weapon made from a simple pouch and cords was once a devastating force on the battlefield. Used by various civilizations for thousands of years, the sling was a highly effective weapon in skilled hands.

Slingers could launch projectiles, often stones or lead bullets at remarkable speed, achieving incredible distances, and they could strike with the force of a modern handgun. One of the most famous accounts of a sling in action comes from the biblical story of David and Goliath.

The young David armed only with a sling and a few stones, managed to defeat the mighty warrior Goliath, illustrating the surprising power of this un assuming weapon.
