Slingshot
Slingshots are used to knock presents down from balloons. The Silver and Golden Slingshots can shoot more pebbles at balloons, increasing your chance of knocking them down. The slingshot was introduced in Animal Crossing: Wild World. The slingshot can also be used for mischief like shooting down Pete the postman. The Golden Slingshot in City Folk floats on three gold balloons.
The Silver Slingshot is only in City Folk which can be purchased from Tom Nook .
