The flap of metal that covers your thumb web in many modern Chinese slingshots can cause flap hits, which ping the ball off at high speed (i.e. deflected rather than fork hit and stunned a little) somewhere about 45 degrees.
This happened because the slingshot has sloped tips, and when you straighten your wrist to straighten the sloped tips, if you overdo it, you bring the flap directly into the gap and into the path of the ball.
Ricochet happens and then broken stuff or worse.
Don't be me!! Let's be careful out there ;)
