If we have to have inaccurate modelling somewhere in the system, a few marginal weapons rarely used in history would seem less harmful than the majority of all ranged weapons until the invention of gunpowder.

Well, ballistę are rare in PC-level encounters, I guess. But aren't staff-slings quite common historically, particularly in certain military units?

Heavy slings existed historically, but don't appear to have been all that popular as battlefield weapons. The limited range and the difficulty of carrying enough ammunition no doubt played a part there.
