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.
Catapult, they also had sling shot like objects.
paintball was invented by lumberjacks they shot or marked the trees the got drunk and shot each other and paintball was born

No, a sling shot would not work in space because there is no air resistance to propel the ammunition forward. Without air molecules to push against, the sling shot would not generate the force needed to launch the projectile.

You bet, it would be like a sling shot. It would sling through the air like piece of shot and cause a lot of damage even at 30. Hope that helps some!
