It wasn't Goliaths first rodeo so would have heard the whirring of a sling and raised an arm defensively A silent 1lb rock at 85mph would have stunned him for sure allowing time for decapitation Goliath- You come to me with staves (KJV) Davids brother to David- Your heart is full of naughtiness (KJV) Julius Caeser later described this two handed weapon as a sling tied to the end of a stave used in one downward movement in his battle for Gaul journal
