Slingblade (5e)

Upon first observation, a slingblade appears to be a normal shortsword. However, upon closer inspection the weapon houses a firing mechanism capable of firing small projectiles such as ball bearings or small pebbles at incredible speeds.

As an attack action, the person wielding a slingblade may trigger the blade's firing mechanism off, functioning as a ranged attack of 60 ft. On a hit, the projectile deals 1d10 piercing damage. These projectiles must be individually placed in the firing mechanism, and as such the weapon has the "Loading" property.
