Minecraft needs more weapons besides swords and bows. It would be cool if they added sling shots and handheld cannons to the game. I have an idea of how these 2 weapons could work.
Slingshot- This weapon would be easier to make than a bow but would deal only 1 heart in damage. Ammo for the sling shot should be small pellets made out of cobblestone. You can charge the slingshot by holding down the right click for a greater range and damage. The slingshot would have different types of ammunition such as diamond shards or gold pellets. The slingshot could be made like this
pellets-
Handheld cannon- The handheld cannon is a stronger weapon that fires explosives. It would deal 6 hearts of damage to an enemy when hit directly. If an enemy is only caught in the explosion the damage is 4 hearts. The range of the explosion is 8 blocks wide. So the cannon wont be a cheap weapon ammo would be hard to make since you require obsedion and tnt to make it. Gravity would also have an effect on the range of the cannon. The cannon does no damage to blocks to prevent griefing. When the cannon ball explodes it creates a smoke that makes it for mobs and players hard to see it would cause mobs to go blind for a couple seconds which make them avoid you.
This is how you would make a handheld cannon
Cannon ball-
Tell me what you think of my ideas if you have any suggestions please post them.

HandHeld Cannon would have to make explosions and thats easy to grief with.
he could make the explosion size and power so that it only damags stuff of logs or weaker. just like in my topic about flying mounts, or ghast breeding program (gbp, for short)

I guess your right about the slingshot. For every cannon ball you would need at least 8 obsedion blocks and since obsedion is hard to get I don't think a lot of griefers would be using them.

When there's a will, there's a way... The best suggestion is for it to do no block damage.

That could work. As for the slingshot it would be like a chargeable weapon that does more damage and a greater range the longer you hold down right click. It could also have diffrent types of ammunition like diamon shards.
