The "sling shot" was invented VERY recently, using modern elastic materials and a frame for the projectile to go through.
...However, REAL slings were around as some of the earliest weapons available.
Slings are perhaps older than bows, take the biblical example of David and Goliath, around that time period (3000 BC or earlier?) the sling was frequently used as a weapon to take down opponents from a range, just like the javelin, bow, crossbow, musket and modern guns do.
The sling (unlike a slingshot) is made usually of leather and features a cup in the centre and is also quite long, a stone is placed in the centre and twirled at great speed above the head until one end of the strap is released and the stone is hurled towards the target at great speed.
