The Pocket Shot the Circular Slingshot
A new take on the slingshot, a natural evolution, if you will, from the traditional slingshot to a circular one that you can carry in your pocket, tackle box, or backpack, closed it measures 2.3 inches by 1.3 inches, so carry it anywhere.
It is described as a projectile launcher with a cone-shaped latex pouch that is securely attached to a fiber-reinforced composite ring, so all you do is drop your ammo into the pouch, stretch it back, and let fly.
Manufactures' Description:
• Up to 350 ft/second acceleration
• Shoots slugs, Airsoft, and paintballs
• Base ring material is fiber reinforced composite
• Pouch material is latex
• Includes 1 standard and 1 pro pouch
• Also Included 100 x 1/4” slugs

One thing I found is that the latex gets tacky so sprinkle some baby powder in the cup to make the ammo easier to grab because it will stick and this makes it a bit harder to position the steel ball or other ammo between your fingers.
You can use small marbles, steel balls, small paintballs, and Airsoft ammo with the Pocket Shot from 1/4 to 5/16" in size. BB's are not recommended, nor are stones or other irregular shaped ammo or any sharp object, because this type of ammo could tear the latex or wear it out prematurely.
I didn't test feet per second, which would be very difficult if not impossible without precise equipment, but the manufacturer states up to 350 feet per second, which is several times higher than most slingshots, but you would not have the same range, or I couldn't achieve the same range that is. It would be hard to because you can only draw the latex cups back about eight inches.
The manufacturer states it can stretch up to 10 inches but I imagine excessive stretching at the maximum length will wear out the latex must faster. This is to be expected, though, the range is not as important as the wallop it packs at a short
