The one made from bicycle spoke used shots made from folding paper shaped like the letter U or we also used crate nails also with the U shape which was kinda dangerous.

I used to cut short pieces of stiff wire then wrap the paper around that. It held its shape when you bent it. Was also heavier and went further distances. I never used bicycle spokes but in addition to branch forks I remember using wire from old bedsprings. There were V shaped pieces which joined together to form the bedspring. As Cain said, those used folded paper. The really heavy duty ones from branch forks, bicycle tubing and old pieces of leather used small stones and sometimes pieces of lead.
