Slings: yea or nay?

okay so i was thinking it would be cool to implement slings in crpg (perhaps using stones as ammo, but dealing more damage, at a greater distance?).

Can it be done? Animation wise. If they can't add the flail then i doubt they could add this, not without it looking shit anyway...

Theoretically it can be done but that would require superb animation artist and truckload of time.
We don't have any artist in the first place.

I say yes.  You shouldn't say no just because something takes a little work... if it's something people want, and someone wouldn't mind doing it, it would be a shame not to have it.
