Our plumbatae are exactly 200 grams in weight, but we gave up practicing with them after several extremely harrowing near misses. Our blunt plumbata are almost certainly too light. I am planning to make an exact blunt copy (weight and length) for testing with a sling - which I contest is a great way to throw a plumbata from behind the ranks.
