A 200g-300g lead projectile launched from a sling has a similar amount of kinetic energy as a .38 special: https://youtu.be/6sLozwbSlEsSo David wasn't the underdog at all in his fight against Goliath...
I remember Goliath being explicitly hit in the head. A not very good place to be hit with anything.

>>65503182David was never the underdog, he was using a lethal ranged weapon against a guy with vision issues.
>>65503182>underdogFighting against a fucking nephilim? Yes. Remember that .38 to the fucking dome DIDN'T kill him, it was the decapitation.
>>65503182The various writings that make up the bible are quite literal propaganda OP.
>>65503204War never changes.
>>65503204I like how history as written by the scholars of the day make the people of that society seem all wise and ancient and shit, and then you see the graffiti and other such things the normies did and it's like>fuck you septernicus suck my ballsIt's comforting to know that people really haven't changed since ever, and only slightly horrifying if you think about it too much.
>>65503266>change This is why "right wing" ideology will always win in the end, as it recognizes human nature for what it is.
>>65503182Punches and weapon swings are about the same energy or higher.
>>65503266I find comfort in it, to think that even if I'm teleported to Ur I can still crack a fart or penis joke and they'll still laugh. It's nice knowing that even if we get off this rock we're still going to argue about the orientation of toilet paper or some other inane thing. It's shit like that which I argue truly makes us human
slings are harder to use and to hit a target in the head in a combat situation is really difficulty, he had no chance in melee, the story is about using witty and individual skill to overcome seemingly impossible challenges, people that decided it was only about weak vs strong for some reason
>>65503192>get pregnant with thish-hot.
>>65503182Where and how the energy is dumped into the body matters.
>>65503192>For Pompey's backsideAre there any historical sources on the size of Pompey's butt?
>>65503187If memory serves, Goliath specifically had his helmet pushed back up because he didn't think that the little pip-squak wouldn't even reach his head to hit it. He really thought he could literally just walk over the little dude.So hitting forehead like that was perfectly feasible target for a good slinger.
yeah and a basketball thrown at twice the speed of an NBA player's fastest throw has the same kinetic energy as a 9mm, doesn't mean it's going to have anywhere near the same effect.

>>65503621While comparing a lead bullet to a rubber ball is indeed kind of stupid, I believe that comparing a lead bullet to a lead bullet is the kind of stretch that we can take for the sake of argument.
>>65503182>So David wasn't the underdogNope, he agreed to a fist fight and then pulled a gun.
>>65503192>>65503182It's more funny if you realize that the Latins and Hellenes both referred to lead sling shot as "acorn," which in Latin is "glans." I think the Hellenes also used "acorn" for the male anatomy, but I'm not sure.
>>65503192>>65503674>Get pregnant with this.>For Pompey's backside.>glansSo one is fantasizing about M-Preg, and the other just wants to buckbreak Pompey. They really are /k/ommandos.
>>65503619Even if he didn't a full force hit square to the forehead could easily result in a medical condition untreatable at the time.
>>65503672>he agreed to a fist fight and then pulled a gunBased.
>>65503672Can you cite literally any source that says bronze age champions weren't allowed ranged weapons? Because some of the only descriptions of bronze age dueling we have include people throwing spears and even rocks off the ground at each other before closing and no one cried foul.
