I've been doing some experiments to determine if a spin is imparted to glandes as they roll off of the pouch material. A bilaterally symmetrical shape like many sling bullets are should spin the wrong way, tumbling in flight and going off like a buzz saw, unless such a spin exists. This basic concept is why muskets fire round balls and rifles can fire elongated shapes.
Without a spin the glandes should be asymmetrically dense- like a pellet for a pellet gun- in order to fly remotely straight. If anyone knows please tell me.
The other reason I 'm posting is that I came across this while searching the slinging.org site. Ever wonder what an incoming sling bullet sounds like?

Update: answered my own question- they do spin:

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
