Atlanta!!! Here's a random video i haven't watched about it. The Atlanta doubles your spear throwing range https://youtu.be/YT_s1CEAhkA

Do you mean atlatl or do people in American Georgia just throw real good?

I like your version better

Ah yes, there is a surprisingly common mutation in Georgia that causes humans to be born with an additional elbow and forearm on each arm. The Atlanta mutation it is commonly called. This is why, famously, people born in the state of Georgia are prohibited from participating in any Olympic event that involves throwing or hurling objects.

Not according to Atlanta's 39-50 record this season. They ain't even going to make the wildcard round. Even my pathetic Minnesota Twins are 10 games better than that. And they are still under .500.

Atlatl. Or simply spear-thrower.

It's a bit like a fing-longer, but for your whole arm, and therefore more useful.

Same principle as the sling: they make your arm longer so the "hand" moves faster when you swing it, allowing you to throw stuff at higher and more lethal speeds, and farther.

We're still quite lethal even without these tools though, just look at baseball pitchers.
