You may enjoy this: on you tube find a Ted talk by Malcolm Gladwell on the unheard story of David and Goliath. He looks into the makeup of the stone, the sling, and all of it in the hands of a skilled slinger.

I like to shoot for fun and know basic ballistics. Essentially, the big dude got hit right between the eyes with a 45 caliber round at 900 feet per second.

Take that.

Imagine how tough these giants were since that didn’t even kill Goliath, it just knocked him out cold!

The dual etymology of both giant and tyrant for Nephilim is certainly interesting; it's hard not imagine the hubris that would accompany such an abnormal stature and disposition.
