I've owned one slingshot in my life and it was seriously a wood Y with big ass rubber bands. What is this Wrist Rocket you speak of?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Aluminum frame with a padded wrist support, surgical tubing bands. Originally offered by Whammo.

Closest contemporary equivalent I can find

Hot damn, I'm going to head over to the nearest sporting goods store today and pick something up. If that thing is $3.50 then I'm game.

I have one JBP because I used to have these annoying squirrels that would jump around on top of the carport, making a god awful racket, at the crack of dawn every morning at my last rental house.
I bought some little glass marbles for ammo, and Id pelt the hell out of them (wouldnt kill them or anything) when they'd get going.
Was pretty effective I guess. They quit making noise.
