Goliath was dispatched with a sling (1 Samuel 17:40,50). The Benjamites were experts with slings (Judges 20:16). 2 Chronicles 26:14 says slingstones (implying something large to be thrown rather than shot); also see Proverbs 26:8 for more about the effects of tying a stone in a sling -- small rocks tied to the pouch of a slingshot would hurt, but not enough to fit the proverb. Bible reference to slingshots don't appear.
I'll give you peashooter -- any other kind of shooter, you are on your own -- even bean flip. But a sling isn't a slingshot. "Slingshot" in that context is what you either use in or do with a sling.
Bean flip must be a Razorback thing. Never heard the term before. I need to get out more? Now let's fight about the word and fish meant by "perch". Smile already!
