👉 The Jacob's Ladder, or Jacob weapon, is a primitive and highly lethal throwing weapon consisting of a wooden or bamboo shaft with a leather thong or cord wrapped tightly around it. The weapon's lethal potential lies in its ability to be thrown with great force and accuracy, often striking the target with devastating impact. When the user aims and pulls back, they can aim for a specific distance and adjust the length of the thong to control the throwing distance. The Jacob's Ladder is particularly dangerous because it can be thrown with enough force to penetrate armor and cause fatal injuries, making it a terrifying tool of war and a symbol of extreme violence.
