👉 A throwing weapon is a type of ranged weapon used in combat or sport, designed to propel projectiles over a distance. These weapons typically include spears, javelins, and slings, each with unique characteristics. Spears are long, straight shafts often tipped with a sharp point or flint for ignition, while javelins are similar to spears but with a narrower, more aerodynamic shape and a heavier tip for better distance. Slings, on the other hand, are a more complex device consisting of a frame with loops or cords where the thrower attaches their arm, allowing for the release of a thrown projectile. The throwing weapon relies on the thrower's strength, technique, and the weapon's design to achieve maximum range and accuracy.
