Whats the name of the two part javelin-launching setup that some indigenous peoples used to take down large animals? Its like a stick that a large arrow can rest in and be whipped out of a long distance. Wasn't that before the bow and arrow?

Not Tom Hanks. (As long as there's an ice skate in the vicinity.)

but if you can't manoeuvre as fast as the other guy, or hide from radar, you're also done.

i mean, rifles jam sometimes and people die, but you are still better off with a rifle than a bow and arrow.

not shown: getting shot with a rifle, getting shot with a bow and arrow, walking through fire.
