Lower power than the weakest pistol but headshots could knock unconscious PCs with unprotected noggins.

potentially, this is a very good idea. Stones are widely available already, and they could add a 'break stone' option to split a large stone into many smaller ones - ammunition would be mroe plentiful than improvised arrows that's for sure.

Alternatively, you could go a step even simpler and just make a sling using some rope:

Sweet Idea.. Ammo would be hard to find, but a weaker option but more common as such as a slingshot would be sweet. Stones are everywhere, so it won't be hard, and it would be a weak weapon, so it wouldn't be over powered.

Good idea man, have my beans.

Maybe not a Bart Simpson slingshot, but an old style sling I can definitely get behind. Maybe combine a rope with a rag to make it, then look at the ground to pick up stones for it.

 

In real life a well-placed shot from a sling can shatter a femur, but it should be less powerful in-game for balance reasons. Would be nice to see a high chance to break bones, though. Could be good for incapacitating players rather than killing them.

 

It should also be extremely difficult to aim.
