But hey, archery still exists…

And if that gets too much heat, a slingshot takes much less space and can also be deadly with the right projectile

A sling with just a little bit of training can put out a lot more damage than a slingshot and it's literally just a rope and a rock. It's harder to aim but that's what the backyard training is for.

Humans have been killing each other for [reasons] since before we even evolved into humans, if somebody is determined to do it, you're not realistically going to stop them by depriving them of weapons. Our bare hands are deadly weapons. It'll get done somehow.
