The bands used to allow the pad that holds the projectile to stretch back exhibit elasticity. As they're pulled back, they store massive amounts of potential energy. Once the pouch is let go, this potential energy is released as the bands retract, granting momentum to the object. The inertia then carries this object forward beyond the sling shot.
and that's about it.

As a noun a sling is a weapon or tool used to throw a stone, rock, or similarly shaped metal projectile (usually called shot.). The basic sling is a leather pouch for holding the projectile with a thong or cord fastened to opposite ends of the pouch. More or less a long string with the pouch in the middle. One end of the cord usually has a loop or is tied to the slingers hand, the projectile is placed in the pouch, the other end of the cord is held in the same hand. The sling is spun quickly a few times so that the projectile swings in a fast circle, the free end of the cord is released which causes the projectile to be released from the pouch at a higher speed than could be thrown by hand. The sling goes back to pre-historic times, from all over the world, no one knows who invented it or where or when. The word sling goes back to an old Germanic word, slenganan, .actually a verb, meaning "thist, twirl, or spin." Other things are called slings because they look like that sling. Ropes, sometimes with a pouchlike attachement. are placed around heavy objects with the ends attached to some device for lifting. An injured arm can be placed in a piece of cloth or cords with the ends tied behind the neck. Use of sling as modern verb comes from the noun use of rock thrower, strictly speaking it means to throw something with a sling but has come to mean throwing in general, a pitcher can sling a baseball, a spinning bicycle wheel can sling water, etc. Sling can also mean to suspend or hang something in or from a sling like support. It can be used metaphorically as a speaker slinging insults. The past tense is slung. Sling is used as an adjective to describe something that looks like a sling or is supported at two opposite ends. A sling hammock is a wide fabric platform, the "pouch," with cords at each end fastened to supports so that the platform is suspended between them. There are sling chairs, sling back dresses , sling back shoes, etc. "Sling shot" is sometimes used for the original sling. More recently sling shot is used for a Y shaped piece of tree branch, or similarly shaped manufactured substitute, with an elastic cord or band fastened to each upper end of the Y and a pouch joining the other ends of the elastic. Drawing back and releasing the pouch throws rhe projectile. Such a device is more properly called a catapult. There are sweetened alcoholic drinks known as slings. This use started in America around 1800 and is of uncertain origin. It may come from "throwing back" or quickly swallowing a drink or it may be related to another German word, schlingen, unrelated to sling, meaning swallow.
A sling shot is an elastic band mounted on a stick that looks like a 'Y'. It has a small leather pocket in the middle of the elastic for holding the ammunition. The ammunition can be a marble, or a small rock, or something else that will do damage. The operator inserts the ammunition and pulls back on the elastic strap and lets it go while aiming at the target.
a phaser works by channleing mass amounts of energy and putting it into a beam of light eventually stunning or killing the person shot by it with no blood, a person shot and killed with a phaser can be revived until 12 hours later. a phaser also requires a medium amount of power.
