00:00:01,580 --> 00:00:03,580
A brief history of slinging.

2
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:08,580
Velocity. Without it, a slug is just a
slug. But sling a slug at 100 miles per

3
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:10,660
hour and you're ready to rock and roll.

4
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:15,420
In modern blasters, a slug is inserted
in the chamber where electromagnets spin

5
00:00:15,420 --> 00:00:17,420
the centrifuge until it reaches speed.

6
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:19,880
Pressurized gas ejects the slug out the
barrel.

7
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:23,800
But how did slugs reach velocity before
there were blasters?

8
00:00:24,410 --> 00:00:27,910
In prehistoric times, primitive
proto-slugs used their own wild

9
00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:29,190
environment to reach speed.

10
00:00:29,470 --> 00:00:34,510
Using earth, air, fire, and water, these
industrious elemental slugs found ways

11
00:00:34,510 --> 00:00:35,510
to transform.

12
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:39,690
The real breakthrough began when the
fur-slingers partnered up with slugs.

13
00:00:39,890 --> 00:00:44,390
The initial attempts were... inelegant,
but effective.

14
00:00:44,730 --> 00:00:47,810
Working together, slug and slinger
refined the process.

15
00:00:48,990 --> 00:00:50,170
Getting better.

16
00:00:50,990 --> 00:00:52,390
More elaborate.

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,080
Finally resulting in today's modern
blasters.

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,660
What does the future of slinging hold?

19
00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:01,040
I can't wait to find out.
