And above all, is it considered an assault weapon (aka AK-47 Slingshot)?
Nah. More like a “Glock.”

You can see how, with practice, it could indeed become a survival tool. I would hate to have to learn how to do it under the stress of having to get food to survive.
No pressure...:)

Squirrels fear me. I did a lightweight mod on the spears/darts for that.
Hitting a twitching little goober 10 meters away requires practice. Lots of it.

You should try an atlatl.
I enjoy using a blowgun too. The modern ones are “super” accurate. I cleared out a lighthouse once of rats using one.

I live in Massachusetts...
You’re kidding, right? ISTR they are illegal in Mass. If I actually had a wrist rocket, I’d have to drive up to NH to buy new ruber for it. Which I don’t. Really.
If I remember the story correctly, “slingshots” are illegal in NJ — wait for it — here it comes — by mistake. Seems the NJ legislature had a bill to outlaw “slungshots” (look it up, they’re NASTY) and an overzealous aide “corrected” the “misprinted” word before the final signing. Dunno if it’s true, but it is a dam good story...

Keep in mind, many areas think knives, sling shots, etc. Aren't 'arms' and ya don't have a right to have them. Crossbows too, in N.J.
