Mayan stone tipped spears were no match for the light ballistic steel armor of the Conquistadors.

Ban flint knapping!

I recently watched some atlatl videos and saw a test against armor. Several expert throwers tried different stone points and a small dent was the best they could do.
I fancy myself a weapons expert. 😞

Ok, weapons expert, answer me this:

Are these atlatls a real weapon, or just a weapon delivery system?

I guess they could be a weapon if you consider the spears they throw as "ammo".

An atlatl is a tool that uses mechanical advantage.
