I like the idea of this weapon more for its name than anything else. en.wikipedia.org Bo Shuriken hira shuriken "If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity." (Deuteronomy.)

The single best defense for that situation class is the ability to vomit at will. Insisting that one stop at the local pharmacy to pick up the prescription for non spec uretheritis usually works if one has the pills and Rx form in hand.

Range 100 metres. royalbcmuseum.bc.ca The mechanical foundation of Atlatl technology is the flexible Dart. Under acceleration by the Atlatl, the Dart flexes and compresses like a spring, storing energy to be used to push itself away from the Atlatl and launching at velocities that easily exceed 100 mph. The first of many improvements to this mechanical system was multiple length atlatls to fine tune the system longer atlatls for increasing range. Interestingly, the number P1 is found for optimum performance in the Relationship between atlatl length and dart length. ***************** The great innovation of atlatl weights in the evolution of this technology bears the mark of true genius. By super imposing flexibility into the atlatls shaft and applying a mass to influence the amount of flexduring the swing, the energy stored in the spring of the atlatl can be exactly matched to that of the dart. This allowed for a more efficient use of available energies by forcing the atlatl to push away at the same time the dart is pushing away from the atlatl, much like a diver pushing away from a springboard platform.
