A rifle is a type of weapon that is designed to be fired while supported by your shoulder, unlike small guns which are simply held in your hand. Rifles are most often used for hunting, or by the military. Older rifles could only fire one bullet at a time, some modern rifles fire in bursts, or can fire continuously.
A slingshot is a weapon made from a Y-shaped arm with an elastic band connecting the two arms. There is usually a pocket for a stone or other projectile in the centre of the band. Slingshots can be very accurate, and can be used to hunt small game.
Sparring is a term for a fight, usually one for training purposes. Sparring might also mean a fight as part of a competition, and can be used to talk about a non-physical contest, such as verbal sparring. Once a fight is fueled by emotion and gets out of control, it isn't sparring.
Stocks are an old punishment device that holds people in place by the head and hands, or the feet. Strictly speaking, stocks only hold the feet and a pillory holds the head and hands.
Stocks were usually put in a public place, where the person being punished was humiliated. Passers-by were free to hurl abuse, rotten fruit or other filth at the person in the stocks.

A sword is a weapon that was used by knights many hundreds of years ago. Swords are usually around 2-3 feet long, made of steel, and have a straight or slightly curved blade that is sharp on both edges. The part of the sword you hold is called the hilt. Most swords have a casing that they could be stored in so the owner wouldn't hurt themselves, this is called a scabbard or a sheath.
