An Entity of Type: weapon, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The throwing stick or throwing club is a wooden rod with either a pointed tip or a spearhead attached to one end, intended for use as a weapon. A throwing stick can be either straight or roughly boomerang-shaped, and is much shorter than the javelin. It became obsolete as slings and bows became more prevalent, except on the Australian continent, where the native people continued refining the basic design. Throwing sticks shaped like returning boomerangs are designed to fly straight to a target at long ranges, their surfaces acting as airfoils. When tuned correctly they do not exhibit curved flight, but rather they fly on an extended straight flight path. Straight flight ranges greater than 100 meters have been reported by historical sources as well as in recent research.

  • Das Wurfholz ist eine alte Jagdwaffe der Wildbeuter. Schon Affen werfen gelegentlich Stöcke oder harte Früchte von Bäumen herab, um herannahende Raubtiere zu vertreiben. Daher wird angenommen, dass das Wurfholz eine noch ältere Wurfwaffe ist als der Speer. (de)
  • Le bâton de jet est un terme général pour désigner une arme de jet très ancienne, utilisée de la préhistoire à l'antiquité jusqu'à l'époque actuelle par des peuples premiers dans de nombreuses régions du globe (Australie, Afrique, Europe, Amérique, Inde et Indonésie). La forme est largement diversifiée. Cette arme de jet est aussi souvent utilisée comme outil ou arme de contact. Bâton de bois, d'ivoire ou d'os sculpté, la forme assure la rotation qui stabilise le lancer. Utilisé principalement pour la chasse aux oiseaux ou le jeu, le boomerang aborigène australien est un bâton de jet spécialisé, doué de propriétés de vol particulières, avec retour. Le lagobolon grec est un autre exemple de spécialisation pour la chasse au lièvre. (fr)
  • Il bastone da lancio o mazza da lancio è un'arma bianca primitiva in legno, costituita da un astile di ridotte dimensioni dotato alle estremità di una punta di lancia o comunque di un profilo rastremato. Poteva avere profilo diritto o a forma di crescente, come il boomerang. Divenne obsoleto quando furono sviluppate la frombola e l'arco tranne che nel continente australiano, dove i nativi hanno continuato a perfezionarne il design sino all'arrivo degli Europei nel XVIII secolo. I bastoni da lancio a forma di boomerang sono progettati per volare dritti verso un bersaglio a lunghe distanze e la loro superficie agisce da profilo alare: se lanciati correttamente, non mostrano un volo curvo ma piuttosto una traiettoria rettilinea estesa sino anche a 100 metri. Il bastone da lancio poteva essere utilizzato sia per la caccia sia per la guerra, seppur la sua efficacia vari da modello a modello. (it)

  • 投棒(なげぼう)、投げ棒とは、棒状の物を投擲すること、もしくは投げるための棒である。狩猟や競技の他、人間の足と足の間に投げ込んで転倒させるなどの戦闘に用いられる。投げ棍棒ともいう。 野生類人猿のゴリラ、オラウータン、チンパンジーなどにも敵を追い払ったりするのに枝などの棒を投げる行動が見られ、原始的な時代から使用されていたと考えられる。 ドイツのから更新世に生きていた原人ホモ・エレクトス(ホモ・ハイデルベルゲンシス)によって木から作られた槍「シェーニンゲンの槍」が発掘されている。現生人類によるものとしては、ポーランド南部の後期旧石器時代の遺跡から、マンモスの牙を使ったブーメラン状の骨角器が見つかっている。 現代でもオーストラリア、アフリカ、アメリカなどの広い地域でこん棒を投げる狩猟が存在する。 (ja)
