The smallest slingshots used in the same data had weights of less than 1/10 lb. The 'standard' D&D sling uses ammo of 1/2 lb weight. That will have a much shorter range by virtue of its weight. Indeed, once you eliminate the outliers and eliminate those data points with differently-weighted shot, the D&D sling does in fact correspond in range to the weapon data from that slinging website.My overall changes to the sling are as follows:* Create a feat to allow for increased range (+50% to base range with slings, stacks with Far Shot).* Allow slings to benefit from iterative attacks.* Allow slings to benefit from either Strength or Wisdom for damage bonuses (this is part of an overall change to projectile weapons generally to grant Wisdom to damage).</blockquote>
