Talk:Slungshot

(Weapon)
Copy from Russian wikia --87.253.19.22 (talk) 19:29, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Rather than Wikia (does it even have Russ content?), the above may refer (i haven't looked yet at the edit history there) to the ru-WP article  Гасило, which interlanguage-links to the accompanying article, and can be roughly examined by English-speakers  via an automated Google translation from ru to en, which suggests the flail- or slungshot-like weapons mentioned in passing in some en WP articles.    (It is on that belief that i have, above, retrofitted the title "(Weapon)" to this previously untitled talk section.) --Jerzy•t 08:59, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The preceding discussion has been duplicated (without the strikethru) on the new talk page talk:Slungshot ( tool weapon), and responses and followup to it should be contributed on that new talk page. --Jerzy•t 09:25, 6 & 14:30, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Another name
I was in the Navy from '69 to '73, and learned how to use these to pass a line ashore when we came into port. The name I learned was "heavey," because you'd (more or less) heave it ashore. No citations, of course, but I thought I'd put it here in case anybody gets curious.JDZeff (talk) 21:11, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Splitting the two-topic article and this two-topic talk page
I'm not sure (nor does it matter) whether the accompanying article started as an article on the weapons or on the tools; in either case in is not an acceptable article, bcz it treats two etymologically related but otherwise unrelated topics in one article. I prefer audit-friendly talk pages, so i am striking thru the initial two sections on this talk page, and copying their respective contents to new talk pages for the two new articles. The accompanying main-name-space page of course becomes the needed Dab page, to which this talk section continues to pertain. --Jerzy•t 09:25, 6  &13:45 7 August, 2015 (UTC)

California law was repealed and re-codified
Penal Code § 12020 – Possessing Illegal Weapons (shouselaw.com)

I couldn't find the specific mention of the term "slungshot". Does someone who has better knowledge of the California penal code know what might cover slungshot? DazzleNovak (talk) 03:56, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

It's been moved under Penal Code 22210, where it's among several other kinds of blunt weapons.Legitimus (talk) 12:03, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
