Catapult for hunting post SHTF

[Steve]

I spent many happy hours shooting catapaults as a kid. Small pebbles from the local gravel pit or acorns from the woods were best.

There are downsides though, they take a lot of regular practice to master, the rubber degrades with both use and time, and the ammunition is heavy and bulky.

For hunting small game I would take an air rifle every time, it's way better.
