I dunno, I feel like some targets are so big that throwing rocks is not meaningful

unless David was a 5 foot manlet and Goliath was a 7 foot giant
People have really downplayed what a sling is over the years. It wouldn't have been like tossing a rock out of hand or what a toy sling shot is today. They had a longer range than most bows and a sling bullet could be just as lethal. David v. Goliath would not have been as crazy as a mismatch as it's been made to seem. A modern day equivalent would be David challenging Goliath and then shooting him in the head with a gun, lol.
