| Feb 10, 2022 at 16:17 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | @john, keep in mind that fishing spears are accelerated in the air and only pierce a few inches of water once they are up to speed. This is very different than trying to accelerate a spear that is already in the water. | |

Getting hit with several metric tonnes of water is going to wind me severely, possibly to the point of making my insides, my outsides... | |

| Feb 10, 2022 at 1:12 | comment | added | John | spears also have the advantage or piercing even the thick skin many marine animals have, there is a reason whale spears were a thing. Iron corrodes but not that fast especially if oiled, most fishing gear was made of iron for centuries. | |

| Feb 9, 2022 at 9:51 | comment | added | Mattna | Great feedback! I will definitely consider the stabbing approach rather than swinging. Yeah surrounding the enemy in water wasn't just so he could fight them easier it was mainly to make the enemy not be able to fight because they have to swim and breath. So I agree with what you said. | |
