That's not what David used. An ancient Hebrew sling bears no resemblance to the modern toy. It was a long strap that was swung around multiple times and released, and could propel stones at 150 mph

Slings were effective weapons, and saw use as late as the Jacobite Uprising in the 16th century. You can imagine being hit in the head by a speeding rock would hurt a lot, and if you're wearing a helmet, this can easily lead to a severe concussion or being knocked out

I think it snuck under his helmet
It says it smushed his brain

Well no, "the stone sunk into his forehead" according to the New King James Translation. It's not impossible that the stone cratered his skull

Where's it gotta sink in to?

Well his brain would've been damaged, that's true, but it didn't go under his helmet

Is there any proof Goliath wore a helmet? (not trying to offend just curious)

Ah, David. The biblical embodiment of "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain."

Not after he became king. Banged a soldier's wife, put the soldier in particular on leave so he could go home and bang his wife to cover it up, he wouldn't bang his wife, so David put him on the front lines hoping he'd die.

Honestly half of the characters in the Bible are prime examples of "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain."
