In "real life" survival, you actually are "not supposed to" actually hunt for small game: they are, well, small, making them more difficult to hit, and will not provide the energy necessary for active hunting. You would use more energy hunting them than would get from eating them.

You hunt large game, you trap small game. That is "logical"

Of course, none of that is reason for why we couldn't have a sling. I have a sling in my real-world survival kit.

It doesn't necessarily have to be active hunting. For example you walk around the map and you find some small rocks for your sling? Put them in your pocket, no calorie loss there. You walk around the map and you see some rabbits close by? take a few shots at them, i don't think you would lose a lot of calories there and if you get one it should defiently be worth it if not it's just a bit of fun. Also, you might need some guts or rabbit pelts so it might be worth it even if you end up spending more calories. So great idea with the sling imho
