Those little buggers are really fun to play with. But they are light, plus you can't really throw them fast.
However, that changes when you add a metal tip. I made some experiments today, simply by attaching a bent paper clip as a tip.
Shot from a normal slingshot with paracord as a pouch, the little beasts fly straight, and fast. This is fun.
One of these emergency arrows can be made within just a minute.
