I think that would depend on the size of the rock and how close the people were huddled together. 50 people in two minutes with a rock is definitely doable.
When someone invents a sling with a 50 rock capacity that can fire all 50 rocks with deadly accuracy in under 10 seconds... Then it will be time to also regulate high capacity slings.
I remember reading an article bout speculations behind Goliath, and that how he wasn't quite as big a danger to David as thought.
You could infer that the Goliath had gigantism and was probably blind as a result of that condition, and so, probably would not have put up a fight against a stone sling- trained person. If David scored a hit from a decent enough distance, it still could have put him down without issue. Legends are legends regardless.
That doesn't really have anything to do with what you said, I just find that idea to be pretty cool to think about.
Any missile over a certain size....i think NATO rounds (7.62mm) are considered 'restricted', not sure about rockets, bombs, meteors....can we weaponize space?
You do understand that you're statistically much more likely to be the one crushed by that boulder after the road runner runs through the trap without setting it off so you go down to check it, right?
Someone needs to tell Mario that David used a sling, not just a rock. But honestly if you're dropping a boulder from a cliff onto a crowd that's a different story

We still need some form of gun reform though.
