StarFlux: Sprettert (Norwegian). English word for it I think is slingshot. I think it's catapult in English while slingshot is for the one with a single length that you can be rotating/slinging your harm repeatedly before you finally release to hit your target like in David & Goliath's movie. |

lance-pierres in French...... and in English ONLY the huge ones are called catapult (see pic below), but the photo posted on this thread is a small handheld one called a SLINGSHOT.......because they are both stone thrower, many people confuse the two.

arbitrage:Well, I said "think". Just googled it, and slingshot is correct. Not dismissing catapult. A slingshot, shanghai, flip, bean shooter, or catapult (primarily British English). They can all be used it seems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slingshot |
