Thanks for the reference on 'rubber bands' .....made earlier than I had thought.
The references to African catapults stated that used tyre inner-tubes were used as 'bands' (re-CYCLING
) and AFAIK these were not widely available in Africa until very early 19th C.

...hadn't thought of it that way . 'Modern' Davids prefer the 'high tech' counter weighted, silicon banded catapult......unfortunately there are no 'modern' Goliaths to slay....
