Description [ ]

Javelins were light, flexible spears designed primarily every bit a throwing weapon,^[8] but were every bit suitable for melee.^[9] They were unremarkably constructed of wood and tapered to a sharp point at one or both ends. Alternatively, they could be tipped with a modest metallic spearhead. The shaft was much thinner than a spear intended for melee combat.^[8]

Weaponology [ ]

The javelin was a ranged weapon, intended to be thrown. Javelins were not sturdy enough for well-nigh melee combat and if wielded in this way they would perform poorly. The normal maximum range of a javelin was 150 feet (46 meters).^[10]

Javelins could easily be used on both human foot or mountedback.^[9]
