Default bigbookofwar is up

I do believe there should be several old school arty pieces there and homemade ones to.

What about the good old rubber band slingshot?? Build it right and I would rate it

BLK RNG DAM RECOIL SS / BRST MAG IFR
1 10 -1 - 1i 200

Using the right ammo and with the right build these are dangerous weapons that can easily take small game and seriously injure medium sized game. Can also launch flechettes/arrows.

Concerted fire from a group would be lethal in a apocalyptic brawl and a unit could hail down a harrowing barrage imho.

Bicycle tubing, raw rubber bands etc surgical rubber - possibilties are plenty to find and production and training is cheap - rocks are everywhere.

For that matter a rubber band zip gun - they have been used before to be able to fire a standard bullet - only be a single shot pistol but could be used to get a better gun off someone - or against someone only armed with a club or crude spear

That reminds me of a book about the SF I read when I was a kid -- They had one guy with an M-14 and the second guy had a slingshot, to draw fire so you know what you're shooting at...
