They are a better counter to Infantry than HCs actually. Slingers attack every 2 seconds; Hand Cannoneers attack every 3.45 seconds. Slingers are 100% accurate after Thumb Ring and benefit from Ballistics. Even though the HC's displayed attack looks bigger, the Slinger has much better actual damage output.
