Actually, rope dart is a martial art weapon, not primitive weapon. Roll Eyes What is your opinion?

The ancient Chinese came up with several versions of the RopeDart . Its original use was as a hunting and fishing weapon . Now its a cool Wu Shu weapon with primitive orgins . Read the book on RopeDarts and Steel Whip  Smiley

cool. but i tried makeing one out of a piece of ground rod. it came out deadly looking, but i dont know how to throw it, it keeps on slaming into the ground sideways, not point first.  i tried tieing a piece of cloth, a piece of tarp as a parashoot, and even a bunch of magnolia leafs Tongue to the string. any help there? btw, leafes dont make good stabaliseres, big suprise there Shocked lol, but anyways, i need any advice u got cause this seems to be a cool weapon. 8)

here is a rope dart I made with a big sharp nail set.
...

The nail set is about 9 inches long and 1/2 inch thick at the thickest part.
...

It is attached to a rope about 15 feet long that I can reduse to 3 feet for storage or transport. I reduse it with a knot king of like the chain knot descused in the other rope dart subject and the knot used for a sring sling. When you pull the middle of the series of knots they dont release but when you pull the final peice of string they realease.
Here are three pictures that will help you understand what the knot is or how tt tie it.
start
...
next
...
finished
