June 19th, 2016: Peru’s Slingshot Battle
Peru’s Chiaraje Highlands is a desolate area far from the costal populations. At 4200 meters(13,800 ft), with very
little rain, it’s not very attractive to most Peruvians or tourists. But people live there in small isolated villages, very tough people, who gather every January 20th for the annual Slingshot Battle. Quote:

14 years here and it turns out you're a plant from the Peruvian board of tourism.
American kids do the same thing with pistols and the drug of the day.

I used to frequent this forum:
http://www.slinging.org/ Ballistics article, http://slinging.org/index.php?page=t...hom-richardson Interesting to note that 85 g lead slingshot and 40 g lead slingshot both have similar velocities (m/s): 85g: min. 29.9 avg. 31.2 max. 32.6 40g: min. 29.3 avg. 30.6 max. 32.5 compare .45 acp: (12g) (373 m/s) (835 J) vs. slingshot: (85g) (32 m/s) (43.52 J) momentum = M*V 85*32=2720 12*373=4476

It was recently deduced the ancients drilled small holes in some of the lead shot so they would whistle as they flew, to terrorize the enemy.

Ritual warfare was (and obviously still is) common around the world.
Although serious wounds and death were possible, the affairs accomplished many of the same things actual warfare did without the carnage. I love the mutual fairs, sort of like beer parties after rugby games. The WWII German Junkers Ju 87 dive bomber had propeller driven sirens ("Jericho Trumpets") that accomplished the same inducement of fear on the bombee. |

Not to derail the thread, or anything, but...

You mean the guy that looks like glatt? I don't think it's a victory piss.
Local custom is to piss on the wound to wash out the dirt and sterilize the wound until he can get to a medical facility. Both water and medical facilities are scarce. But glattman died anyway.

no
standing guy on left is holding a large soft sided water container (in the same posture you'd assume if you were taking a piss) the water bladder is grey with a dark stripe (probably the tape over the assembly seam) and tricking the water out and teh other dude on teh right is interrupting the stream and sprinkling it on the pre-dead guy's face
