how were throwing knives ever effective in combat

1.02K viewsOtherTechnology

Based on my limited experience at axe throwing venues, my take is that you can only get thrown axes and knives to stick in right if you’re exactly the right distance away. This seems impractical for a combat scenario where nobody is good to stand still at exactly the right distance for you.

Throwing venues are not designed to simulate combat throwing, but as a sport

in real life some throwing weapons are designed for purpose, typically small and light, so they can be concealed and are quiet. A knife to the head will kill someone just as much as lopping the whole thing off. Even if it does not immediately kill it can injure, this applies to something like an axe as well.
