so you are telling me yeeting a claymore and a baby require the same effort?

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

claymores have that pommel which will make it easier to wield than a baby.

No, because throwability is influenced by rigidity. A live baby would be all floppy.

Maybe an embalmed one though?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

what if you yeet like olympics hammer throwers and let rotation take care of unrigidity?

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

this reminds me that they had to change the rules in javelin throwing, apparently the athletes used to throw javelins like that.

oh yes the method which caused injuries in the audience

It seems to be a bolonese spada due mani, from late XV century, not a claymore
