Children's weapons made of wood with their own hands. Homemade weapons for self-defense. How to make a gas gun with your own hands

Today, toy stores offer such a large and colorful selection that parents clutch their heads and children salivate. Unfortunately, the economic situation and one's own capabilities do not always allow one to have sufficient income to please one's own child with a good gift. Hands and head to help us! Some of the toys can always be made by yourself. Many craftsmen cut cars, horses, anything from wood and sell it.

Wood is a very convenient material, with a minimum skill in handling it and the necessary tools, you can do a lot. For girls, you can cut dolls, furniture, dishes from it, and for boys - a typewriter, a gun, a sword. The question of how to make weapons out of wood is of great interest to them!

Wooden weapon options

You can actually do a lot, most importantly, why do you need a specific thing? For a child who will play in the yard, for the use of weapons for their intended purpose, for role-playing games, for hunting, or maybe for a costume? Homemade weapons made of wood will take the form and look that you wish.

If the main purpose is a game, then the main thing in this case is strength. All paint and thin fragile parts will come off in a few days, if not immediately. When military field training is held in schools, and schoolchildren are given wooden Kalashnikov assault rifles for them, then 50% of the guys tear off stores on the first or second day. But these machines are made in a stream, not really caring about beauty, painting in one color and trying to make them stronger. Ask how to make a weapon out of wood that won't break? No way, the thing will remain intact only if you do not use your product.

For roleplayers, the situation is much more complicated, they need weapons that are both beautiful and durable, so they often use other materials. If, nevertheless, a tree, then they make two swords or knives, one is beautiful, the second is durable.

Material selection and processing

The choice of material depends on how long it takes to process. Birch is a very strong and unyielding tree, it is good to make a club out of it, without special processing the product will be heavy. Aspen, poplar, pine are softer, it is easy and pleasant to work with them. Oak is not common in many regions of Russia, but if you decide to make a weapon with your own hands from wood, then you will hardly find a better material. It is easier to process than birch, lighter in weight and stronger than pine, and retains its quality very well over time.

Wood for products must be free of knots, wood holes, rot, with a single direction of fibers, without distortion. It is necessary to dry it, it is best in a dry room or under a canopy. It is necessary that the tree dries evenly without direct exposure to sunlight, otherwise it will then begin to crack and warp.

Creation of a club

The simplest weapon made of wood is a club or a stick. What could be simpler, break off a branch - and you're done. But if suddenly you decide to take this issue seriously, you want to make a durable, lightweight, comfortable product, then the question “how” arises before you. It is not easy to make weapons out of wood according to all the rules.

For a club, a young tree of suitable size is chosen. They cut down closer to the root, as the fibers begin to intertwine at the butt, making the material even more durable. Then carefully, so as not to damage the upper layers, remove the bark, cut off the knots, give the desired shape to the handle, if necessary, soak the workpiece in water or special brines for a day. Then the drying begins, a fire is made, and on the smoke, protecting the future club from flames, they are dried. As soon as the tree has turned black, the blackness is removed with fine sand or hard grass. This is repeated six times, the surface is smooth and dry. Even if birch was chosen, the final product will be light and strong. This tree does not rot.

By the same principle, our ancestors made strong arrows and spears without steel tips.

Shield and sword

How to make weapons from wood for role-playing games and historical reenactments? If for beauty and entourage, then it is very convenient to cut out the shape with a jigsaw from plywood, smooth the edge, varnish, paint, insert decorations. With good paint, without taking the thing in hand, it will be difficult to determine what material it is made of. For combat, it is worth making a weapon from a thick, durable tree, with a comfortable handle so that the vibration from the impact is less transferred to the hand, otherwise you can damage the brush or simply drop the object during the first hard collision.

The shield turns out great from plywood, but for combat it is better to use iron-bound or steel options with a shock-absorbing lining. During reconstructions, they usually show a wall fight, in which it is extremely difficult to deliver a strong blow to the shield. A good and durable one is needed for an individual fight, for all other cases it is suitable from plywood.

Models of firearms

No matter how much you would like to, it is impossible to make a homemade firearm out of wood that will shoot. Unless for one or two shots, and it’s not a fact that the weapon will not burst during an explosion of gunpowder.

All self-propelled schemes are reduced to one algorithm. The tree is a frame to which the trunk is attached, a trigger mechanism with a striker, sometimes a magazine is added. Uncomfortable, short-lived, but cheap and cheerful.

hunting weapon

Remember, as a child, they ran around the yards with slingshots? If you have not run, be sure to try it, you will like it. Modern elastic materials give such striking power to a small metal ball or pebble that, with proper skill, you can knock down targets from thirty steps. But the frame of a slingshot can be easily made of wood.

Drawings of weapons made of wood for hunting are quite common. So, they make crossbows and bows. A wooden frame is not so difficult to make, sleight of hand and no magic. But there is an important detail that is necessary to make small arms lethal and effective at long distances. For this you need shoulders, flexible and strong, as well as a bowstring. There are old technologies for making shoulders, but nowadays it is too laborious and difficult to implement at home. It is easier to use modern materials such as plastic.

It is best to make the main frame out of wood, and the shoulders out of flexible non-rotting plastic, the synthetic cord will go to the bowstring. A little decoration and paint, and you get a completely entourage and effective bow.

The children of the generation of the 90s did not have newfangled toys and computer games, but they had a wild imagination, allowing them to come up with incredible ways to have fun. The pets had something with which to shoot or set fire to. Although these entertainments were considered favorite among children during perestroika, many of them could be harmful to health and even lead to death.

slingshots

Who remembers homemade slingshots? They were of two types - classic and keyed. The classic ones were cut from a thick hazel branch with a fork, a wide gray tourniquet was bought at a pharmacy, a piece of leather was taken out (you could secretly cut it out of your travel bag at home and dump it on your sister) and everything was fastened with copper wire or blue electrical tape.

Such a slingshot was loaded with smooth pebbles, which were often brought into the yards along with sand or unripe berries, such as mountain ash, plum or cherry, which grew in abundance behind the house. The power of a shot with a stone was sometimes enough to smash a champagne bottle to smithereens from 3 meters. Such a slingshot was valued due to the fact that not everyone had the skills and means to create it. It could be exchanged for other valuables such as inserts from Turbo, CinCin and Final90.

Walking and having nothing to do, it was possible to make a simpler slingshot - a keyed one. To do this, it was necessary to find a thick aluminum wire in a braid in a landfill and find a flagellum. As a rule, there were no problems with the latter - it was easily extracted from the elastic of underpants. The newer the underpants, the better the flagellum. From all this, something like this was going to (pictured on the left). Such a slingshot fired with dowels - pieces of copper or aluminum wire bent into a horseshoe.

Crossbows

A heavier version of the slingshot was the crossbow. A wooden clothespin was attached to the board, and an elastic band was attached to the other end in such a way that a “loop” was obtained, the saddle of which fell just on the clothespin. With the necessary stretch, of course. A “bullet” was placed in the elastic loop, the elastic was stretched and clamped into a clothespin. When the button was pressed, a shot was fired. They shot all the same mountain ash, peas, peppercorns or pellets.

Samopal

The most advanced version was called self-propelled guns. This is closer to a real firearm. A thick-walled metal tube was sealed at one end (flattened and topped up with lead), a 1 mm hole was drilled near the blind end. The pipe was attached to a wooden bed, usually in the form of a pistol (again, the same chair leg was sometimes used). With the help of a ramrod, "sulfur" from matches, a wad and a sub-caliber homemade bullet made of lead were driven into the tube. The shot was fired when a special shock frame, released by the trigger, hit the head of a carnation inserted into a small hole. The bullet had a very serious lethal force - 15 match heads in a 4mm barrel drove a bullet 5 centimeters into a tree. With a crossbow it was better not to get into the police ...

matchshot

Another lightweight weapon was the matchgun. It was made from wooden clothespins, do you feel the usefulness of this Soviet device? He shot with ordinary or burning matches for 10 meters. To make it, a wooden clothespin was disassembled, a place for a spring was machined with a needle file (from the same clothespin), a “barrel” was machined, a spring was put on one of the halves, the halves were connected by the reverse sides and rewound with electrical tape. The spring played the role of both the trigger and the pusher at the same time. Sometimes a piece of "chirkash" from a matchbox was fixed on the "trunk" so that the match would light up by itself at the moment of the shot. More often, they simply swiped a box at it and immediately shot.

Dart

Probably only the lazy did not play the game "darts", we also loved to throw darts in childhood. Yes, but they were not sold or they cost a lot of money. Therefore, almost any boy in our yard could make it himself. The dart, in terms of its flight and stick-in qualities, turned out to be no worse than the factory one. A sheet of paper, 4 matches, a needle, stationery glue and thread. A home-made target from a notebook sheet was hung on the wall carpet and played.

pistons

Who had a revolver that fired such caps? But it was more interesting to scratch the brown spots with something sharp and watch them ignite. Or even more interesting, roll up a strip of piston and hit it with a hammer. Ringing in the ears for 10 minutes was provided!

Who sees the connection?

Pugach from bolts

And here?

I think our generation will easily explain the connection of these objects. They hammered the dowel with a brick into the asphalt, took it out, crushed matches into the hole, inserted the dowel and threw a brick on top ... Boom! and the piece of asphalt was gone... :) Matches cost 1 kopeck per box and were freely bought in the store.

And this is the "rockets"

Slate in the fire

I think you can easily remember what happens to slate in a fire :) That's right, nothing good - it shoots a lot. in pieces.

Lamps and kinescopes

It was a sin not to break a fluorescent lamp thrown into the trash. They broke with a loud bang, if you throw the lamp on the asphalt end. They didn't think about the environment back then.

But this find in the garbage was extremely rare and always brought great joy to the boys. They cast lots to see who would be the first to throw a brick at the top lamp (the beam gun of the kinescope). She was the most vulnerable point of the kinescope. When the lamp broke, the kinescope collapsed inwards due to the internal vacuum with a very dull pop that echoed in the yards. Neighbor boys immediately ran to see this action. But more often we found kinescopes with a broken lamp ...

Siphon cans

Used cartridges for soda machines (siphon) were also sometimes used. They were stuffed with sulfur from matches and closed the hole with a bolt. Then the infernal device was thrown into the fire ... I must say that this thing was the most dangerous invention of the yard boys. Personally, I have never made such a balloon. And I don't recommend it to others.

Magnesium

We mixed magnesium filed into powder in a certain proportion with potassium permanganate, which cost a penny in a pharmacy and wrapped it in a tight paper bag, wrapping it with adhesive tape. They made a hole and screwed a match to it, so that the sulfur head was exactly in the hole. They struck a match on the box and threw it sharply aside. The package exploded with a deafening noise and a bright flash.

knives

In my opinion, every boy in childhood had a folding knife, which was a source of pride. With the help of it they played "zemelka", "tanchiki". Each game had a variety of rules. For example, "land": they drew a circle, divided it equally by the number of participants. Each one stood in his own place. Then, while standing, they stuck a knife into the enemy’s area and cut off a piece from his land. "In advance" (did not stick) - the move passed to another. And according to one rule, it was necessary to stand on your own land all the time as long as you can. According to others, it was possible to stand outside, but in the event of a catastrophic decrease in your area, the enemy offered you to stand for 3 seconds on it. If you can't resist, you're out. You could even stand on tiptoe with one leg - the main thing is to hold out for 3 seconds.

Carbide

Who remembers magic stones with a specific smell that bubble in water? Carbide is a joy for those who find it, for the whole day! When combined with water, it reacted and released the wonderful gas acetylene. It is remarkable that it burns well. In what form did not use carbide. And they just threw it into a puddle, setting it on fire. And they warmed their hands, squeezing the carbide in their palm, immersed in a puddle. And they put it in bottles of water, plugging it with a cork ...

But the most effective use of carbide was hand cannon. They took an empty bottle from under a deodorant or "Dichlorvos", cut off its neck, made a hole at the bottom, put carbide inside, spat abundantly on it, plugged all the holes, shook it for a minute, opened it and brought a burning match to a small hole ... volley! !! :)

smokehouse

The real truth is that only our generation knows what the connection is between a children's tumbler or a tennis ball....

But we know what will happen if pieces of this special, magical plastic are wrapped in foil or newspaper, set on fire and extinguished ... How many nerves the uncles spent in garages when such a miracle flew to them from the roof ...

Lead

How much in this word, merged for the heart of a child ... And merged in the truest sense of the word. Remember scouring garages, scouring junk yards for old batteries?

They split them and mined pure lead. The dried electrolyte was beaten out and the soft metal was crushed into a tin can or into a bowl.They made a fire and waited for the liquid metal to sparkle in the jar.

And then do whatever your heart desires!

Every self-respecting country that wants to have weight on the world stage spends almost the lion's share of its budget on the development of the military-industrial complex. Target factories are being built, new ultra-modern types of weapons are being developed. However, it is possible to effectively destroy the enemy’s combat forces in another way - using makeshift weapons. This, of course, is not as effective, but it works great in a guerrilla war. And it's about makeshift weapons we'll talk today.

1. Pit trap

Perhaps the most primitive example of homemade weapons. The soldier does not see the pit, falls into it, runs into stakes or spikes, loses combat effectiveness. What could be easier? Even ancient and primitive hunters used pit traps for hunting wild and large animals. That's just people are much smarter than animals, so the main problem is the effective masking of such holes. The best example of a tactic for using this makeshift weapons showed us.

For those who are not in the know - the Vietnam War, in which licensed peddlers of democracy sucked on a large scale from the semi-savage Vietnamese people, partially sponsored by the Soviet Union. The very conditions of Vietnam completely leveled the fierce superiority of the democrats in armored vehicles and aviation, and the American infantry, as you know, sucks without support. And here she sucked especially hard - the jungle, high humidity, regular flooding of the territory, tropical diseases, mosquitoes, poor mobility - all this played against them. And then there are the vicious Vietnamese, to whom "democracy" did not give up at all and who made life difficult for the American army with all their might. And it's not even about classic guerrilla tactics, speech and "quiet" war.

The fact is that digging holes in the ground, sticking them with stakes smeared, excuse me, with shit, and waiting for the water to fill them by itself is as easy as shelling pears. And the soldier, who is blindly wandering along the half-flooded path discovered with such difficulty, will obviously not be happy to fail and run into these surprises with all his weight. There is also a complicated version - in addition to the stakes, spikes were installed on the sides on the bottom, directed diagonally downwards. If a soldier tried to pull his leg out, he also ran into these spikes. And a very difficult option - two logs studded with nails. The soldier steps on their junction, falls down, the drums rotate, the nails are stuck ...

2. Molotov cocktail

it improvised weapon has already become a classic for most modern riots. And all because it is extremely simple.

Hot Finnish guys were the first to think of such an effective means of destroying manpower and armored vehicles during the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939-1940. And it was they who called these cute bottles “Molotov Cocktail”, since Comrade Molotov was at that time the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR and was, in principle, responsible for starting the war.

However, this has makeshift weapons and obvious shortcomings. The first and main one is that a rag on fire unmasks a fighter, putting his life at risk. The way out was found with the help of chemistry - mixtures of some chemicals ignite on contact with air, so they began to simply put the ampoule with reagents into bottles with Molotov cocktail.

3. Samopal

Or in other words - homemade firearms. To be honest, it deserves a separate article - so many different options were invented, created and tested by local "Kulibins" of various nationalities. So for the time being, we will focus on the simplest option - an “ignition” self-propelled gun.

According to modern weapons classification, this is a single-shot ramrod-type pistol. That is, the charge and the bullet are laid from the muzzle. On the opposite side, respectively, there is an igniter hole. A metal tube acts as a barrel, which is attached to an impromptu butt. Direct ignition of the charge is carried out either manually or using a trigger.

Despite the extremely simple principle, this improvised weapon pretty efficient. From close range, it can even kill, especially if you get into any vital organ.

4. Rocket Kassam

it improvised weapon- in fact, a solid-propellant unguided ground-to-ground missile. Until now, it is actively produced on the territory of the Gaza Strip with the aim of shelling the territory of Israel.

The point is simple. The most simple and affordable ingredients are taken, which we will not list here, but which can be found in any agricultural or hardware store. All this is combined in the right proportions, and then a homemade rocket is installed on the launcher and launched in the direction of the enemy.

Between 2001 and 2012, 27 people were officially killed, and another 700 were injured of varying severity. Actually, this is not an attacking weapon - low accuracy, low explosive power and heavy weight make it ineffective in active combat operations. But as a weapon of terror - that's it. Produced literally on the knee, inexpensive, inconspicuous. And not so long ago, a Palestinian garbage truck was detained in the Gaza Strip, converted into a multiple launch rocket system with the help of Qassams. No, this is really brilliant - you can quietly move around the territory, prepare a volley in a matter of minutes, shoot and just as quietly hide. In short, simple and effective in its own way improvised weapon.

5. "Shushpanzers"

This funny name, which originated in 2007 on thematic forums dedicated to military equipment, hides any modern vehicle covered with improvised armor. Wherever it was used - both during the Second World War, when the USSR had huge problems with armored vehicles, so armor and weapons were even put on tractors, and during the first Arab-Israeli conflict, when the Jews did not yet have their own Merkav, and on eastern Ukraine, and on both sides of the conflict.

And all because this makeshift weapons extremely simple principle. A powerful wheelbase is taken (a truck, a tractor, anything that can carry a lot of weight) and sheathed with thick metal sheets. The thicker, the more reliable. Actually, everything. From shrapnel and bullets improvised weapon protect, the soldier will deliver to the destination. And if you install a machine gun, then it will cover it with fire. In a word, simple and effective.

As you already understood, we will talk about homemade weapons of self-defense. If you are interested in DIY weapons for self-defense, then you have come to the right place. Such items may be needed in many cases and for completely different people - from a small defenseless girl to a strong man with a centner of weight. Much depends on combat training, on the physical and psychological indicators of a person, and if all this is at a low level, then it will be very difficult for him to protect himself without self-defense. But also, a lot depends on how many people are attacking you, and what kind of training they have. Self-defense weapons will help you protect yourself from an intruder if you are not sufficiently prepared, or if there are many such intruders.

Weapons for self-defense

So, let's look at weapons that you can make with your own hands.

1. Flail
2. club
3. Nunchaku
4. Sling
5. Brass knuckles
6. Yawara
7. Slingshot
8. Samopal
9. Other

Each self-defense weapon has its own characteristics, and not all weapons on the list are legal. For example, you can answer to the fullest extent of the law for self-propelled guns and brass knuckles.

Flail

Roughly speaking, a flail is a load on a rope, a shock-crushing type weapon that can quickly pacify an attacker. Anything can be used as a load - nuts, - a stone, a hammer, a lead blank, and, in principle, any heavy object. We also need a rope with a loop at the end, which will be worn on the hand so that the rope does not sleep. You can not put the rope on your hand, but tie it to a handle of a convenient length made of wood or other material. The length of the rope from the load can be different, but the optimal one is 40-50 cm. We tie the rope to the load, make a loop at the end and that's it, we have a serious weapon ready. The weight of the cargo is better to be from 150 grams and above. Of course, such weapons can harm an attacker without any problems, but using any of the listed items, the main thing is not to become a criminal yourself. The weapon works on a swing and the working part of the weapon is a load that needs to hit a certain part of the body. The brush can be carried with you everywhere, as it is compact. You can put it in your purse or pocket, and it will help you out at the right time.

club

The club is the simplest and most well-known self-defense item. There are many types of clubs that will help you get out of a difficult situation. You can use the simplest straight baton, the double-handled baton, which has a wider range of action. You can use two short clubs for self-defense, with which you can very effectively defend yourself. In extreme cases, any stick that is not very long and fits well in the palm of your hand will go. We can also use bits, which are also quite effective. Unfortunately, we cannot carry a baton in a purse. At best, it can fit in a backpack.

Nunchaku

The weapon is effective, interesting, but not as simple as it might seem. They need to learn how to use them, and when you take it in your hands for the first time, the main thing is not to break your forehead, because almost every person who picks up nunchucks for the first time hits himself on the head with them. Be careful with this weapon, and before using it in a life situation, learn how to use it - believe me, it's worth it. The nunchaku was made more popular by the legendary martial artist Bruce Lee. After watching movies with Bruce Lee, you can appreciate such weapons as nunchucks. They consist of two pieces of wood, or pieces of any other strong material. At home, we can simply connect two wooden pieces with a rope. We make holes from the ends of the segments in the middle, about 2-3 cm, and holes through the entire diameter that passes through the central hole. In the middle we get a drilled letter "T". We take the rope - we stick one end on one side, and take it out from the center, and the second on the other side, and we also take it out from the center, and for convenience, you can use a wire. It turns out, from the center, we will have two ends of the rope peeking out. Then we stick the ropes into the center of another segment, take it out on the sides and tie it on top. Nunchaku can be small and can be worn in a purse or backpack, as well as around the waistband of your pants.

Sling

Quite a good self-defense weapon, but in order to use it, you must first prepare it - charge it, and only after that you will be able to stop the attacker. The sling looks like this: a rope, in the middle of which there is a “pocket”, like in a slingshot, in which a stone is placed. At one end there is a loop that is put on the finger, on the second knot. We put a stone in our pocket and with the help of simple movements we send the stone to the target. That's the whole principle, but the fact is that you need to be able to use these weapons, and here at first too, the main thing is not to harm yourself. To make a sling, you need a rope and a thick piece of material for a "pocket" - leather is ideal. It doesn’t take much mind to attach the cut skin to the rope, so we won’t consider it.

Brass knuckles

It's time to consider brass knuckles. This is a fairly ancient weapon, the existence of which is known to many. Brass knuckles is a weapon of shock-crushing action. To use brass knuckles, they put it on the fingers of the hand, clench a fist and strike with a fist in which the brass knuckles are clamped. Due to the fact that an object is clamped in the palm, the blow is amplified, and the blow is many times more powerful due to the weight of the brass knuckles, and due to its outer part, which is working. The sides of brass knuckles can also be working parts. If when hitting with a fist, the main points of contact are the knuckles of the thumbs, which do not have such a large area, then when hit with brass knuckles, the point of contact is the entire shock part of the brass knuckles, which allows you to influence a wider area. Brass knuckles are different, but they have the same principle. Brass knuckles at home can be made from lead or wood. From lead: make a mold and pour molten lead into it. from wood: cut out, but the weight will be much less.

Brass knuckles can also include battle rings, and the simplest battle ring can be made at home from a large nut that can be put on a finger. On the machine, we grind the nut under the finger and sharpen the top as we need.

I want to replace that the possession of brass knuckles or a battle ring is practically impossible without the practice of percussion techniques. First, learn, and only then think about using brass knuckles.

Here is such a not cunning weapon for self-defense. But that's not all. We continue.

Yawara

Yawara is also an ancient self-defense weapon, but to use it, you also need a little, and maybe a lot of practice. Yawara is a wooden stick that is longer than the width of the palm of your hand. She can stab at various points of the body, and these blows will be quite painful if you have the preparation. Yawara can be made from an ordinary stick by sharpening it on a machine tool or with a knife.

A similar weapon is the kubotan. Yawara and Kubotan have a different history, but, nevertheless, they are similar in principle of action. The main difference between a kubotan is that there is a hole for a ring on the edge, on which you can hang anything - keys are most convenient.

Yawara and kubotan can be carried both in your pocket and in your purse. The main condition is the ability to use.

Slingshot

The slingshot, despite its innocent appearance, is a rather dangerous weapon. If the slingshot has a powerful, good rubber band, then the slingshot projectile will be able to fly long and fast, which will allow it, if it hits the body, to hurt and leave a bruise, and if it hits the head, it can just hurt, or there may be more serious consequences, - it all depends on the gum and the projectile. You can buy a slingshot and the most suitable will be a slingshot that has a support for the forearm. You can make a slingshot yourself from wood or reinforcement. But the main thing here is to find a good rubber band and shells.

Samopal

Samopal - the most serious weapon for self-defense of those listed. You can charge a self-propelled gun with anything - bent nails, salt, pellets. The self-propelled gun consists of a handle and a pipe. A handle for convenience, and so as not to get burned, and we fill the pipe with gunpowder (sulfur) and a charge. A hole is made on top of the pipe so that sulfur can be ignited in the middle. The pipe must be thick-walled so that it does not burst, and well riveted at the end so that it does not swell. This is a very dangerous weapon for self-defense, which I suggest not to use at all.

Other

From other weapons, I can suggest the following:

opener. The most ordinary can opener, in skillful hands, can become a real weapon.

Screwdriver. As a specialized item, it does not pose any threat, but if used as a weapon, it becomes very dangerous.

Scissors. Ordinary nail scissors, which can serve as a stabbing weapon, or heavy household ones, which can be used as a percussion weapon, are great for self-defense.

Fork. An ordinary fork can also become a stabbing weapon.

Survivor's Sling

The sling is the easiest weapon to make that you can make with your own hands from improvised items. The oldest sling known to history was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun who died around 1325 BC. During excavations, it was found along with other throwing tools, which, according to historians, should have been useful to the pharaoh on a hunt.
