Sling bullets and stones are a common find at Roman army battle sites in Europe. The largest are typically shaped like lemons and weigh up to 2 ounces (60 grams).

The challenge with this “naturalistic experiment” is that there are more variables to account for than in a controlled lab experiment with a calibrated weapon shooting standardised projectiles ...

During the experiment, conducted at the Vertical Gun Range at NASA's Ames Research Center in California, scientists fired marble-sized projectiles at the targets at speeds of 11,200 mph (18,000 km/h).
