    It makes sense, hanging out in a field all day with nothing to do but flip rocks at stuff, you’d git gud quick.

      It was a pretty common peasant weapon purely because you could make one super easy, and it fired a thing you could literally pick off the ground. Sling a rock at a wolf or a bear and it’ll probably either be dead or get the hint of “ah shit that guy hurts to fight, I’ll go find some other bastard.”
