so you are telling me yeeting a claymore and a baby require the same effort?

It seems to be a bolonese spada due mani, from late XV century, not a claymore

hmmm bologneseeeee

claymores have that pommel which will make it easier to wield than a baby.

No, because throwability is influenced by rigidity. A live baby would be all floppy.

Maybe an embalmed one though?

what if you yeet like olympics hammer throwers and let rotation take care of unrigidity?

this reminds me that they had to change the rules in javelin throwing, apparently the athletes used to throw javelins like that.
