Random information on the term “DART”:
Darts are airborne ranged weapons. They are designed to fly such that a sharp, often weighted point will strike first. They can be distinguished from javelins by the presence of feathers on the tail and a shaft that is shorter and/or more flexible. Darts are propelled by hand, they can be distinguished from arrows because they cannot be used in a bow.
Darts have been used since pre-history. The plumbatae were lead-weighted darts thrown by infantrymen in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Darts can be propelled by a number of means. The atlatl uses leverage to increase the velocity of the dart, the kestros propels darts using a sling, and tiny poisoned needles are blown out of a blowgun.
In the modern era, darts have been used for recreation; in lawn darts and the game of darts.
Some of the earliest evidence of advanced tool use includes remnants of an early type of dart, which can be considered the ancestor of arrows as well as bows. Reconstructions of this system have a range of over one hundred metres (yards) and can penetrate several centimetres of oak. This technology was used worldwide from the Upper Palaeolithic (late Solutrean, c. 18,000–16,000 BC) until the development of archery made it obsolete.
