1) Better Accuracy
When shooting at cans or objects, the Laser Slingshot is capable of BEATING an air pistol. The advantage of the Laser Slingshot is that it is capable of firing a small spread of projectiles or BB's at a target. Therefore, even if the shooter's aim is slightly off, there is a good chance one or more of the BB's will hit the target! An example of the Laser Slingshot's capability can be seen on video clips shooting cans at 150 feet. The Laser Slingshot has the precision of an air pistol, yet is capable of shooting a cluster of projectiles making it better than an air pistol.

2) Free Ammo
When shooting rocks with the slingshot, there is an endless Free supply of ammo that can be found outside. When shooting with a CO2 pellet pistol, each shot costs about 2 cents per shot.

3) Incredible Impact with Rocks
Rocks are roughly accurate to +/- 35 feet due to their irregular shapes (stay away from flat rocks, they don't fly straight). Due to the rock mass, an incredible impact is created when it hits its target. A 3/4" rock on impact with a can is capable of crushing the can and causing it to fly backwards 10 + feet. Let's see an air pistol do that!

4) More Powerful Than an Air Pistol
The Laser Slingshot is more powerful than the most powerful air pistol. Firing the laser sling shot when using a magnum rubber band and a 3/8 inch (.38 caliber bullet) steel ball, it penetrated a phone book to page 230, and created an expanding .38 inch hole into the phone book. One of the most powerful air pistols on the market today is the spring powered Beeman P1 Magnum pistol that shoots a .177 caliber pellet at 600 feet per second and sells for $350.00 (without laser sight). The pistol penetrated the phone book to page 198 while creating a small .177 inch hole in the phone book.

5) Reusable Steel Balls - When shooting with steel balls or BB's, the balls are reusable. Reusing BB's in an air pistol is not recommended because they can jam and cause serious problems. Pellets are not reusable once they are fired.

6) Shoot Indoors-A slingshot can shoot airsoft balls, which makes it ideal for shooting indoors. The airsoft balls are strong enough to punch through a target sheet at 30 feet, yet is light enough not to do damage to a wall.

7) Less Expensive - The PS-52 Laser Slingshot sells for $49.95 which is less expensive than any air pistol with a laser sight. The least expensive air pistol with a laser sight starts at $55.00 and goes as high as several hundred dollars.

8) Works in Cold Weather - The PS-52 Laser Slingshot works well in cold weather. The majority of air pistols on the market are powered by CO2. In cold weather, a CO2 pistol loses most of its power causing it to lose accuracy. The number of shots per CO2 bulb reduces drastically as it gets colder. Thus, most air pistols do not function well in cold weather.

9) Fires Quietly - The laser slingshot is quieter in comparison to an air pistol. Usually the impact of the projectile from the slingshot creates more noise than the slingshot firing. CO2 air pistols are noisy. When they fire, a loud crack is created.

10) Weighs Less - The Laser Slingshot is lighter than most air pistols. The Precision Shots PS-52 laser slingshot weighs only 1.1 pounds.

Good one, Sean. An urban weapon which is slightly more difficult to prosecute for having in your possession. I played with them as a kid. They're fun. Yours is the best.
