A few of my friends were chatting in Skype, and somehow, we came up with the challenge to come up with the most extravegant, yet effective, way to fire a bird no bigger than a breadbox from a slingshot in D&D 3.5 terms. Well...I'm going to open the floor to you folks, and see what you can come up with in any game, as long as it conforms to the following rules:
1.The weapon used -must- be a slingshot 2.The bird may be no larger than a bread box 3.The target used for reference must be one of the following: A WoW Gnome, a pig, or a building 4. The bird may not be enlarged, as breadbox is fixed |

Here's what you start with:
You mount a cannon atop the slingshot. Eventually you end up with something like this. -k |

Which type of "slingshot"? Elastic pullback or leather thong?
