When you need to weaponize a child in fiction, you give him a slingshot. It is always in the classic Y-shape and preferably made out of a single piece of wood. Kids use them either to cause mischief or as actual weapons; when not in use the slingshot will be carried shoved into the back pocket of trousers or overalls. Sometimes when the child has to inflict serious damage with the weapon in combat, the pellets they launch can be explosive. Slingshots are weapons, which makes you wonder why all these fictional parents let their kids wander around with them in their back pockets, especially considering kids who use them always display amazing accuracy. Slingshots are also likely to be As Lethal As They Need To Be; sometimes they will merely annoy the person they're fired at, but they will be quite effective when used against enemies. Tends to be used by the Bratty Half-Pint and other Youngsters, probably because it allows them some means of defense without any expectation of them actually killing someone. Also a frequent starter weapon in Video Games and a Weapon Jr. for younger versions of archers. In Britain, a slingshot is known as a "catty" or "catapult," while in Australia, it's sometimes called a "shanghai." Also note that a "slingshot" is not the same as either a "sling" (the David & Goliath kind), or a "slungshot," a 19th century gang weapon consisting of a weight on a string attached to the arm. Laws on the books prohibiting "slingshots" may be talking about the latter weapon, depending on how old the law is. Compare Suffer the Slings, which is about slings. Water balloons may be used in conjunction. |

In Pact, Blake Thorburn recounts having been attacked by a bunch of kids with slingshots and potato guns while he was homeless. He forgives them, on the grounds that Children Are Innocent, i.e., he does not believe that they really understood what they were doing when they attacked him. | |

Sleepless Domain: Zoe Blecher wields a silver slingshot as her Magical Girl weapon of choice. From it she can fire off seeds that sprout into metallic flowers that can push, weigh down, and/or impale enemy monsters. The slingshot as a weapon stands out for Zoe in particular — while slingshots are typically associated with bratty young boys, Zoe is instead a female Shrinking Violet. The author has in fact credited The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as the primary inspiration for her choice of weapon. | |

Freddi Fish: This is the closest thing Freddi has to a weapon of choice, though as an Actual Pacifist she never directly shoots anyone with it. At least one version turns out to be an incredibly sophisticated device, complete with a targeting HUD. | |

CSI: NY: Lindsay is a good shot with a slingshot as she demonstrates in "Commuted Sentences by constructing a slingshot out of items from her kit and simulating how a bullet would ricochet off of a column. The piece of chalk she uses lands within inches of the shell casing she and Danny are searching for. She's a woman in her thirties and an only child. Apparently her father wanted a boy because he often gave her shotguns and fishing rods for birthday presents. | |

The Simpsons: Bart Simpson is probably the most well-known example, although he hasn't used his slingshot much of late. Inspired by Dennis the Menace (US), Word of God is that Matt Groening wanted to ensure Bart Simpson used his slingshot, because his recollection was that Dennis just carried one. Bart's slingshot and the connection with Dennis was lampshaded and mocked by a group of tweenaged friends of Lisa in "Summer of 4 Ft. 2" |

In John Birmingham's short story "Fortune and Glory", the three protagonists use slingshots. The story is set in S.M. Stirlings Emberverse world, where modern technology, including firearms, has failed and bows, crossbows and slingshots are the only ranged weapons. One of the characters loads her pouch with several steel balls for an instant ‘area suppression’ shot when ambushed. | |

Robin (1993): Tim Drake chose a slingshot from an arrangement of weapons when tasked with choosing one to master by his chosen master. He becomes very good at using it but when his training is derailed by Lady Shiva and she asks him the same question as his new martial arts instructor he chooses a staff instead for its non-lethal atributes and is rarely thereafter seen with a slingshot despite how good he was with one. | |

In Labyrinths of Echo, the personal projectile weapon of choice in the Heart of the World is called "Baboom slingshot". Pellets made of sensitive explosives make many injuries lethal and the rest require a lot of effort to fix even with high-magical healing. It's metal and the tips are sharpened to use in melee; local martial artists even manage to make this look graceful. | |

EarthBound (1994): A slinghot is available as an early weapon and possesses higher attack power than other weapons sold in the area, but is inaccurate to the point of being rather impractical. An upgraded bionic slingshot is available later, and makes a good weapon for everyone, due to not suffering from the aforementioned flaw. | |

Fallout 3 has the dart gun, which you can construct using a paint gun, surgical tubing, toy car and radscorpion's poison gland. As the name suggests it fires darts, much like a crossbow, however it is much more like a slingshot with a trigger in its construction (using surgical tubing rather than a bow). The poison bit makes it a Game-Breaker, as it makes anything that attacks in melee, even Deathclaws, into cripples unable to move at more than a snail's pace. | |

A cartoon that Whitney Darrow, Jr. did for The New Yorker depicts one circus elephant talking to another: "There's a character in this town I'd like to catch up with — a snub-nosed, freckle-faced, barefooted little upstart in blue denims, goddamn handy with a slingshot. I guess he'd be about sixty now." | |

The horrible Balbini twins in The New Chalet School have a catapult, which Mario Balbini uses to shoot stones at Joey Bettany while she's having lunch with her friends. Joey responds by confiscating and breaking the catapult, and the Balbinis get their own back by playing a series of pranks on the school with their gang, the Mystic M. | |

In Timothy Zahn's Blackcollar series (a high-tech setting), the titular elite force uses the slingshot as their preferred sniper weapon. Picked for concealability from searches and scanners, difficulty of locating the sniper when in use, and being friendly-fire safe (blackcollars wear armor specialized against bullets and shrapnel). This goes with the force's general theme of using low-tech, high-skill weapons and tactics, relying on enhanced reaction times and outthinking the enemy for survival and success. | |

Monster Hunter: World introduces the Slinger, a generic weapon loaded with rocks or a variety of other small fare, such as flash bombs. The rock type is situationally useful at best; the other loadouts become invaluable as a means by which to open an enemy to getting a huge chunk of their HP sliced, smashed and burned off. | |

Thinner: Gina Lempke, great-granddaugther of Tadzu Lempke, is highly skilled with a slingshot, and even performs with it for money. She uses it to shoot a ball bearing through Billy's hand when he comes to the Gypsy camp to demand the curse is taken off, and it's strongly implied she killed Frank Spurton, the man Richie hired to spy on the Gypsies, with it. | |

According to Deadliest Warrior, the IRA carry around slingshots that are far more effective in a fight than the children's variety. Consider the Wrist Rocket®. Introduced in 1954, it's a serious weapon (the suggested ammo is .50 cal (that's half an inch in diameter!) steel shot), and it can even be fitted with a fiber-optic sight. It may look innocuous enough - until someone uses them to launch an explosive shell. | |

Usopp from One Piece used these when he actually was a brat and never stopped, even when he became a pirate. Justified in that he's an Improbable Weapon User and customizer; it's much easier to make custom slingshot bullets than pistol or musket bullets. The Improbable Aiming Skills he got from his father (who is part of one of the best pirate crews in the sea) also help. Exaggerated with Kabuto, his giant slingshot introduced in Enies Lobby. He can snipe people at distances far beyond the reach of Marine guns. Its range is explained by the use of Dials from Skypeia (sea-shells that count as bio-tech for those not familiar with the series), along with the five bands it uses to fire ammo. It's stated that the bands cause the ammo to spin in the air, in effect giving his slingshot a rifling effect. This is significant as the guns in the series use ball ammo and no rifling. | |

Johnny in Monster Bash has a slingshot as his primary weapon, with a couple powerups ranging from the basic 'triple shot' to the more exotic. Unlike in many examples from the era, the rocks do fly in an arc, and therefore aiming them is a matter of trial and error until the player gets used to it. | |

The Bible: In the Books of Samuel, David used a sling to defeat Goliath (and was quite adept with it, boasting about killing animals), people commonly confuse the two weapons and believe David wielded a slingshot. Thus, despite the story itself not being an example, many of its adaptations are (The Simpsons Bible Stories episode couldn't resist, for obvious reasons). | |

In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the weapon you start out with as Young Link is a slingshot. Oddly, grown-up Link in Twilight Princess also gets a slingshot to play with the village kids, and it's obviated halfway through the second dungeon combat-wise.note It remains a good utility for small tasks such as hitting switches and Skulltulas when you don't want to waste arrows. It reappears in Skyward Sword, where it is more useful. Hyrule: Total War has Kokiri Child Soldiers armed with slingshots. | |

In the Animal Crossing games from Wild World onwards, one of the tools your villager can use is the slingshot. This is mostly used to pop balloons carrying presents that fly through the sky every ten minutes, but in Wild World and City Folk, your villager can also use it to shoot down Gulliver's Flying Saucer, and in Wild World, your villager can use it to shoot down Pete the Postman. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the villager uses the slingshot as a weapon. | |

The ending of Doraemon: Nobita and the Tin Labyrinth have Nobita and Doraemon confronting the main villain, Professor Napogistler who rules the robot army, trying to reason with him. When Napogistler refuses to scrap his plan to Kill All Humans, Doraemon then takes out a slingshot and threatens to use it, causing Napogistler to name-drop the trope ("You think a couple of brats with slingshots are going to scare me?"). Cue Doraemon firing a disc into Napogistler's mouth — one containing a Computer Virus that can shut down the entire robot army from Napogistler's brain. | |

In An American Tail, Tony Toponi uses one to unmask Warren T. Rat as a cat. Slingshots are also used as Family-Friendly Firearms in the sequel, Fievel Goes West, probably because it takes place in a Mouse World and so the characters don't have cat or mouse sized guns, except in the movie's opening which in a Fantasy Sequence. |

LIT (2009)'s protagonist, Jake, has one that he can use to shatter windows to let light in through, and also break electric appliances (computers, TVs, lamps) to control the power usage in the room he's traversing. Pellets come individually and have to be carefully rationed, and they're single use. | |

Kids From Shaolin, have a couple of the younger boys from the Long family hitting things with their slingshots. They even managed to help out in the final battle by firing a couple of stones into a bandit Elite Mook's butt, distracting him long enough for the heroes to defeat him. | |

In the fourth book of The Dark Tower, Wizard and Glass, a slingshot is shown to be Cuthbert's weapon of choice. He is mocked only the first time he takes it out — after that, everyone knows better. He also uses metal pellets as ammunition. | |

Live A Live: In the Wild West chapter, Sundown Kid is given a slingshot by the Sheriff's son, Billy, who mentions he's very good with it and could be useful. When you start organizing the town's defenses, you can give the slingshot back to Billy and he'll use it to take down one of the bandits as they arrive. | |

Mother: EarthBound Beginnings: Slingshots are purchasable weapons from the First Town Podunk's department store and can be equipped by all members of the party, though they have low attack power and are outclassed pretty handily by the other weapons in the game, some of which include baseball bats, frying pans, ray guns and swords. EarthBound (1994): A slinghot is available as an early weapon and possesses higher attack power than other weapons sold in the area, but is inaccurate to the point of being rather impractical. An upgraded bionic slingshot is available later, and makes a good weapon for everyone, due to not suffering from the aforementioned flaw. |

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System has a slingshot as one of the available weapons, which is odd at first when you realize the game is set in a futuristic world of robots. It does have an excellent use though: tossing explosive grenades farther and more accurately than one would by hand. | |

ElfQuest plays with this. Ember thinks she has outgrown slingshots, but during a time of really bad hunting, the tribe start using them to hunt mice. There's a non-canon story where it's suggested that Skywise's distinctive metal faceguard is actually part of a troll-made slingshot, dubious as it sounds. | |
