You should see my plans for a slingshot harpoon axe!

You laugh at the slingshot. I remember not too many years ago when the Mexican police were armed with them instead of a firearm. I can’t remember the story but it was some political crap done to put over a point. Might want to check out the “Slingshot Channel” with JoergSprave, one of my favourite characters. At one point he shots with machetes.
On the other hand there are blowpipes. At one time when I was into blowpipes and that was my weapon. I was good with it. I took animals up to and including ‘possums and could hit a fly. An X-acto bladed dart at the base of the throat would do a man in. Anywhere in the neck would be fatal, but the base of the throat faster. But I didn’t stick with it and now I fail to hit a grass hopper and I know the muscles needed for power shots are gone. Oh me! Other than X-actos I’ve made kills using .45 cal ball bearings and 3” well sharpened nails made an attacking dog reconsider. I’ve done both.
