Wasn't the plumbata made to shoot from a ballista?
A good beefy weapon like that should have a good beefy means for delivery down range.

Also, I don't think a roman foot soldier would be able to throw as well as that demonstration. Think of the armour and shield getting in the way.

So I say, put that pointy thing in the ballista and shoot an officer at a hundred yards.
