👉 A passing weapon, often referred to as a throwing weapon or a melee weapon designed for throwing, is an object used in combat to propel projectiles at opponents over a distance. These weapons can include items like javelins, spears, throwing knives, or even specialized throwing devices such as slings. The primary purpose of a passing weapon is to allow a fighter to strike from a distance, reducing the risk of close-quarters combat and enabling tactical advantages in battle. Effective use requires precision, speed, and often a combination of strength and technique to ensure the weapon reaches its target accurately.
