on the subject of simple weapons anybody out there play with an atlatl- its a lever with a crooked end into which you fit a javelin and realy increase the leverage of the throw- played around with a crude one several years ago and was frankly scared by how much power that thing adds to the throw- thinking of building another, and putting some thought into it this time- with a little luck you can send a light spear (when I say light think giant arrow on roids) about a football fields length
