Roman Pilum
Roman legionaries threw their pilum javelins at enemy troops from a distance of around 15 meters – and pierced shields. Originally, the pilum was designed to be a one-way weapon. The only part of the steel spit that was tempered was the point, so this Roman javelin would bend when it hit an object.
Good thing too: that kept them from being recycled by the enemy and made the shields they hit unusable.
Note: wooden shaft not included.
