The chosen slingers can maintain a sustained and concentrated barrage on an enemy before rapidly falling back to avoid hand-to-hand combat.

Slingers carry a shoulder bag with lead shot and several spare slings suitable for various ranges (a shot typically weighs no more than 55g - a couple of ounces). Trained from infancy, these missile troops can hold their own in hand-to-hand combat, as they carry falcata swords, light armour and a shield. They are also highly mobile and don't tire easily.
