1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
Your Strength modifier applies to damage rolls when you use a sling, just as it does for thrown weapons. You can fire, but not load, a sling with one hand. Loading a sling is a swift action that requires two hands and provokes attacks of opportunity.
You can hurl ordinary stones with a sling, but stones are not as dense or as round as bullets. Thus, such an attack deals damage as if the weapon were designed for a creature one size category smaller than you and you take a −1 penalty on attack rolls.
A character with martial weapon proficiency may reload the sling as a free action.
If a character has quick draw or rapid reload and has simple weapon proficiency they may load the sling as a free action, a character with both feats may fire that weapon as many times in a full attack action as they could attack if they were using a bow.
A character with martial weapon proficiency and one of the listed feats may fire the sling as many times in a full attack action as they could attack if they were using a bow. A character with both listed feats and martial weapon proficiency gains one bonus attack when using the full attack action with the sling.
