To give a ranged weapon that works like the pre 1.8 bow, Rapid firing and low damage, Trading power and long range for spamability.
What would it fire?
Gravel, And said gravel would be IMPOSSIBLE to retrieve... FINALLY. A WAY TO DISPOSE OF GRAVEL. D:<
Would a gravel throwing sling *really* be balanced?
I'd like to think so, Since it's not a long distance high power sniping weapon like the bow... It's just a mid range spam cannon that'll make everyone in pvp servers call you a nubtard for using.
Why aren't I posting the crafting recipe and exact damage stats?
Because I'm not trying to completely describe the idea, I'm just rambling on about the MECHANIC of it.
Bla bla bla, Leave your feedback/drooling hatred down here.

But wait, wouldn't spamming projectiles just be literally throwing the rocks without assistance of a tool?
Slings are a good idea, but looking into how slings are actually used shows that they are most definitely NOT spam weapons.
For projectile spam, I'd rather have some kind of automatic crossbow.

Support, I'm tired of either charging into battle with my sword or wasting my precious time pulling back a bow for crits when I'm in medium range. One question though, does the gravel stick together as one projectile or would the individual pebbles spread out like a shotgun?
Support, either way.

...the individual pebbles spread out like a shotgun...
I quite like the sound of this in particular if they do only a small amount of damage and have a small amount of knockback. Plus it's freaking sweet.
At any rate, it would stop pvp from being a diamond sword spamfest. Support. Though are we talking slings or slingshots? I think slingshots make more sense as far as rapid-fire goes.

Either way, Stuff like this is why I left it vague. :U

Note that I said AUTOMATIC crossbow. It uses an invisible belt to feed arrows into it.
And I still fail to see how a piece of string that you spin around then release would be any faster than a bow.
Support, either way.

Or a possible new way to convert gravel to flint.
If the change were made, gravel needs to be made renewable.
Gravel would need to be renewable as much as iron, And is iron renewable beyond exploiting villiages to make iron golemn farms?
