| Keywords: Aztec atl-atl (Museo Nacional de Antropología).jpg An atlatl or spear-thrower is a tool that uses leverage to achieve greater velocity in dart-throwing and includes a bearing surface which allows the user to temporarily store energy during the throw It consists of a shaft with a cup or a spur which may be integrated into the weapon or made separately and attached in which the butt of the projectile properly called a dart rests The atlatl is held in one hand gripped near the end farthest from the cup The dart is thrown by the action of the upper arm and wrist in combination with the atlatl as an extension of the throwing arm adding significant force through increased angular momentum Common dog ball-throwers molded plastic shafts used for throwing tennis balls for dogs to fetch use the same principles and in effect are a type of atlatl A traditional atlatl is a long-range weapon and can readily achieve speeds of over 150 km/h 93 mph en wikipedia 2007-02-11 Fsunoles talk Uploads Maunus Original upload log en wikipedia Aztec+atl-atl+ 28Museo+Nacional+de+Antropolog C3 ADa 29 jpg wikitable - 2010-09-11 21 54 1063×275× 69333 bytes Maunus Aztec Atlatl - spearthrower - the only one in existence - exhibited at the Museo Nacional de Antropología e Historia México I ~~~ created this work entirely by myself ~~~~~ Au Uncategorized 2016 May 6 | ||||
