throwing weapon
Launched combat tool
A throwing weapon is any weapon designed to be hurled at a target rather than used in hand-to-hand combat.
The category includes ancient and traditional weapons like javelins, throwing knives, shuriken, and tomahawks, as well as improvised projectiles.
Distinguished from ranged weapons that launch separate ammunition, throwing weapons are themselves the projectile: The museum displayed throwing weapons from cultures around the world.
