The sling thrower with all the rocks being supported with the left arm, that seems really tiresome.
I imagine a pouch hanging from the belt or maybe over the shoulder would be more sustainable. I wonder what the advantages in having it attach the left arm that you also are holding a shield with?

You can see a Roman depiction of a slinger auxiliary with that rock-cradle thing on the Column of Trajan
Not sure what the reason is, but I imagine there must be some advantage. Speed of reloading, maybe?
