This weapon falls into the 'Slings' category. It is a one-handed weapon.
Hunting slings are one-handed ranged weapons. They accept both stones and sling bullets as ammunition, but using sling bullets will increase your damage significantly (9 base damage with bullets, compared to 7 with stones). Although weaker than bows or crossbows, they only require one hand, making them a good secondary weapon option for characters using shields; they also have more abundant ammunition due to the ability to use both stones and sling bullets.
While hunting slings are perfectly respectable ranged weapons for the early game, sling-users will generally want to upgrade to a fustibalus at some point for superior damage.
