That would be brutal, not just the recoil but the blast back from the ballisite cartridge...

RCS - Does the projectile go through the French WWI grenade and the item is launched by the gasses from firing the ball round one would really want a clear passage through the grenade as it would be a bit of a folly to fire a live round into a grenade!

Ive seen a video of a fellow who used tape marks on his sling and by holding the sling taut with one foot and placing the butt on the ground he would have pre determined ranges.
Do you have a Ravenna Armory launcher? I have a French made one which is ok but the Ravenna one are really nice.

Some had a collection of steel washers to capture the ball round...I'd have to dig to show you that info...
