Would Scutum and gladius be better? Then you don't knock your plant pots over or damage your wallpaper with the spear.I live in a quiet suburb and not involved in any activity that would cause someone to violently come through the door to collect money. So no need for any spear wielding medieval melee in my apartment.
Many hunting spears have a cross bar of some kind, often it is made together with the head but sometimes as a separate piece on the shaft. It apparently tends to slightly interfere with throwing so these spears are only thrown at very close if even then.My spear is not a throwing spear.
Oh dear! I am really terrible at judging weight by hand.My spear is not a throwing one, too heavy. About 2-2.5kg I would guessimate.
If it is too heavy to throw you will just have to invent some device to give it a bit of propulsion Joerg Sprave style.Oh dear! I am really terrible at judging weight by hand.
Used a scale and it said my spear weighs 1.7kg.
