The Surefire Slingshot toy by Monkey Business Sports.

The Slingshot is one of the original BrickBattle weapons, added in March 2006 as a preset HopperBin and later as a free model by Roblox . When equipped, it can shoot small, deadly pebbles with a short reload speed.

Function

When the player clicks, the slingshot shoots a red, 1-stud diameter bouncy pellet at a velocity of 85 studs per second. The slingshot's reload speed is 0.2 seconds. Each pellet initially deals 8 damage to any character on hit, including if the character hit is the one who shot them in the first place. A pellet's damage decreases on each collision with a non-humanoid object, eventually getting deleted if their damage gets below one (e.g. during the 4th bounce).

History

The slingshot was added on March 10, 2006 originally as a built-in HopperBin.^{⁠[citation needed]} It used to shoot sphere parts with the BrickColor gray (2) and a diameter of 2 studs.

The slingshot, along with the other BrickBattle gear at the time, was uploaded to the library on April 12, 2007.
