Slingshot

The Slingshot is the main weapon/utility the Birds use in order to attack the Pigs. The player can pull back on the slingshot strap, then release to fire the bird in whatever direction the player desires.

Usage
The player can change the direction and angle the bird will launch at by simply moving the bird up or down. The player can also change the firing speed. Pull the bird back slightly to make a weak launch, and pull it back farther to make a stronger launch (the latter recommended).

Slingshot Power-Ups
In Angry Birds Facebook there are two Power-ups that change the abilities of the Slingshot: the King Sling and the Sling Scope.

Trivia

 * If the player hits the bird on the Slingshot with another bird or a piece of debris from the Pig fortress, it causes the bird on the slingshot to rotate. See this page for more information.
