Forgive me, I haven't looked at the weapons often so I must have forgotten about those. Maybe my javelin requires a few changes, I haven't tested it in 31.10.

Guys, just THROW REAL SPEARS! It is just as deadly considering a Copper Spear can take down most things if given some good aiming skills.

And Throwing spears are referred to as javelins.

There is a difference between the weapons in that javelins are weighted for throwing, while spears are not. And we know, we've just derailed the thread a little.
