  Just from the intro alone, I think that ballistics dummy is going to have to become a town guard after all those knee shots.

  I'm a simple man. I see a video with Tod in it, I watch it. And I was not disappointed.

  "Let's find out."  Is the epitome of Tod, and why I love him so much.

  Two extremely likeable guys casually throwing around brutal medieval weapons.

  &quot;Apperently i can swing a stick... I found my weapon&quot; <br>Every boy will agree that there is no better weapon than the stick he found in the woods earlier ^^

  Regarding the humble rock, Francisco Balbi di Correggio wrote that arquebusiers at the Great Siege of Malta 1565 opted to throw stones rather than shoot their pieces at one point in order to do more damage (&quot;mas daño&quot;) &amp; more often (&quot;mas a menudo&quot;). So, under those specific circumstances of defending a high place under assault, the rock outcompeted the matchlock firearm.

  When I was 14 I was out walking my dog when he was attacked by another much larger dog (about the size of a German Shephard). &nbsp;I was petrified but very angry I reached down and picked up a pebble and from a distance of about 20 feet threw it at this other dog. &nbsp;To my surprise, the stone hit the larger dog directly in the head. &nbsp;I&apos;ll never forget the sound it made. &nbsp;It sounded more like a water melon than an actual head. &nbsp;<br><br>He yelped, released his grip on my dog, then after a few shaky steps fell over and started convulsing. &nbsp;Later his corpse was found exactly where he&apos;d fell. &nbsp;You shouldn&apos;t underestimate the humble stone thrown by a complete amateur. &nbsp;Although at the time, I did compete for my school in the &nbsp;&quot;throwing the cricket ball&quot; event &nbsp;(yes that was an actual sport in it&apos;s own right) and used to practice for about an hour per day so, yes I&apos;d practiced but I was still just a kid.

  When I was a little helian, our little gang used to make sling shots from guava trees that grew wild in my neighborhood in Miami. We used old bicycle or car tire inner tubes to propell our projectiles, which were held in a piece of leather (usually from old shoes). It was the 50s so Miami was so overpopulated. Those slingshots were deadly at close range using marbles.<br>I took 2 slingshots to Cuba. One for me and one for my cousin (I used to spend my summers with my aunt, uncle, and cousin in Havana). They lived in a semi-rural community with several farms nearby. There were rats as big as cats. We used to put our lunch &amp; dinner left overs for a stray dog that hung around the farms. The dogs leftovers became the bait for the rats. In one summer I killed 36 rats with my slingshot and some buckshot we borrowed from my uncle. Needless to say the farmer near our house loved our form of recreation. 😊

  Medieval Roman doctrine had folks who couldn&apos;t handle a war bow or who couldn&apos;t shoot straight use darts instead. I think that this video illustrates why this worked.
