Pointy ammo
Sep 21

Now, I know there has been much discussion about 2-pointed razor glans on the forum. But when I found this on youtube, I couldn't help but think, "I could sling that." It would just need to be heavier.
Although I have never tried razor glans, I always thought it would be a little hard to throw them correctly. Putting fletching or poofy stuff on the back would give you a wider range of throwing options. Is seems like it would offer a faster-loading option than a kestros.

freshly made ammo. The above one is not pointy, but has rear stabilization. It's a newer concept, involving very long profile and rear stibilization. It weights 185g
The one below is a enhanced stability lead gland with an iron point.
The lower density of iron in it's long axis,combined with the higher density lead gives an enhanced gyroscopically stabilized projectile.

I'm pretty sure the one with the bronze blades is also historic.
I guess somebody decided, way back when, that a plain lead gland wouldn't hurt enough.
