According to models designed by the US Armed Forces to model bullet penetration, even the world records of slinging with a 28g to 51g bullets would not have penetrated winter clothing at point blank range. GURPS assumes 28g sling ammunition, which I'm comfortable saying will never penetrate DR 1 armour at human ST scales, except on a critical hit.
Sling damage is not pi and cannot be modelled as pi. It's crushing damage and while it
can be lethal to unarmoured people, for the most part, like arrows, even a solid hit will tend to wound and not kill a human.
