Effectively i am comparing the Warslinger racial trait from Advanced players guide page 21
The ninja is using a halfling slingstaff, what is an exotic weapon with a range of 80 feet, dealing 1d6+STR crit x3 in small size and halflings treat it as a martial weapon (whatever that means).
"whatever that means..."
It means that a character proficient in "all martial weapons" (Fighters, for example), would not need to spend a feat to learn to use the Slingstaff, since it counts as a martial weapon. A rogue, on the other hand, will still need to spend an Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat.
(If you meant that snarkily, I apologize for taking it at face value)
