Quote:Nice to see. Your plumbatae are very short, aren't they?
Yes, but we get very good ranges with them. Out to 70m. We have produced three others at various lengths to try them, but have not had chance yet ... Do you throw yours underarm? What range do you get?
Quote:Why is that?Less unpredictability. And we were also needing direct fire at shorter ranges, for skirmish combat in the woods. The throwing-dagging technique gives great accuracy at shorter ranges and DOES NOT!!!!!! fly off backwards. :roll:
