Slightly larger slingshot ammunition:
I just returned from a trip to the medieval town of Visby on Gotland. In an arrow slit on the top floor of the St.George gate in the 13thC town wall, can be seen a wedged stone missile catapulted from a mangonel during one of the medieval sieges! .

Beautiful ... and rather large for a slingshot ammo, indeed

Yes you can read about it on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visby_City_Wall if you scroll down to Saint George Gate.
Not as fascinating as Tomar Castle, though. ![]() |
