They could make a stick that a soldier could put a spherical grenade on to help give extra range. Like an atlatl or one of those tennis ball launchers for dogs.

Like a Vortex football! They could even put those little whistle things on the sides so they make that sound while soaring through the air

Yeah, we did this, we just made them rocket propelled and called them mortars.

Are mortars rocket propelled? I thought they were just short indirect cannons.

Balls go further than sticks. Theyre more aerodynamic for a start.

Dont worry, the Military Industry Complex is all about killing people, so it would be using sticks if it was beneficial.

No he’s talking about those things where you can sling tennis balls with, the ball gets released and the stick is still in your hand. You can throw tennis balls much further with those things
