Maybe beacouse male halfling looks like a little boy
And you're probably confusing a sling with a sling-shot, the latter of which being usually used by young boys and hardly being a real weapon (not to mention a "halfing weapon" Shocked).
Wait a minute, you want to tell me that slingshot isn't a halflings weapon?Do you even know what halfling is?. Here is the link for you(in polish) - http://isei.pl/index.php/Nizio%C5%82ki . Have a nice read.
Yup. That's what I want to tell. A sling is. Both these words are translated as "proca" in Polish.With a sling-shot you can shoot a bird, not a human, not to mention the monster from the movie. it's more of an attribute of a naughty boy than a weapon.
