Small Spears
I have read , Hurley , Warren (?) that these little spears were thrown by the handfull to clear the decks of vessels while boarding . They could also have been used on land against attackers too I guess .
This is the first time I have seen these weapons , I am unsure how the size of the head would affect the flight if used as a crossbow bolt ; don't most crossbow bolts have fairly small heads ?
