Hi Jorg, Great video and great fun and I do like the way you encourage making things to be accessible to all. Get making everyone- its good for the soul and perhaps, as Jorg showed, not as hard as you would think to make something effective. He (of course he did, he is Jorg Sprave!) improved distance using the tail string and that is interesting and I may just have to video reply to that....Otherwise he challenged me to send some of my plumbatae over and you will be pleased to know, the challenge is accepted - they will be one the way shortly.
The string idea, that was litterly the first thing I wanted to ask why no string to sling it away on wouldn't that be better, like five cents of money back then per dart extra for a massive range advantages. Also shot at the twich from a distance it wil break and the dart would fall straight down at not risk of yourself.
if i would write scrips for movies i would give the supervillain a sidekick, who equips the villain with weapons, much like Q does on the good side. that sidekick would be surprisingly similar to a certain german.
Plumbata's are raining on my head. That doesn't mean my eyes are sooon be truning red. Cry is not for me. These... Plumbata's are falling on my head - they keep falling...
Everyone should have one Mine has started growing Made 2 alright slings from paracord and electric tape, have 1 away, had a dysfunctional bow which I got rid of and am waiting on a flatbow to dry Made a sheet of electric tape to replace leather and followed one of tods tutorials to make a sling staff Hammering a random metal pipe into a spearhead of sorts Plumbata would be nice to join the pile
@OLD LUKE They destroyed the celtics and Germans were not better as s soldiers. There was no economical interest in conquering a land not populated and covered of woods. It was easier building a wall and to massacre who tried to pass it using just a small amount of men. The armies that created problems to Romans were the eastern ones.
Imagine being out for a walk in the woods to relax and then all you hear is 9:56 before you take a dart to the eye and as you lay there dying a large German man stands on you and yells "42 steps!" ..... terrifying. Lol love you Jörg.
I think the last hardware store the old Romans went to was located in Teutoburg Forest Apparently they weren't big fans of the Customer Service offered...
@SamuraiSquirrel the dictionary defines a dart as a small missle with a sharp point at one end and feathers on the other end. The real question is why we throw darts at "dart board" and not a "missle target"
i had a boomerang stuck in a tree, so I glued string to an arrow and shot it up there to get it out...it worked but the arrow got stuck, when i was pulling the rope the arrow shot back at me like a rocket and stuck into the ground by my ankle about 10 in... I almost got a darwin award that day, it was freaky, i can see why you are being cautious.
Romans used them first on the battlefield so, lawn darts should have been banned under the Geneva Convention before they ever became a game in the 1980's. Imagine telling your grandkids you used to play a game as a kid that was banned under the international rules of civillized warfare!!! Lolol
@@ulrichkalber9039 this is because it's rather difficult to get lead in Germany today; it ha been banned years ago from most usages because of its poisoness
Actually, it's one _plumbātum,_ two or more _plumbāta._ It is declined the same as _scūtum_ "(large) shield" or _pīlum_ "Roman long-necked war javelin."
Suddenly the sounds of an anvil being pounded on in the Home Depot theme song (yes it's real) makes far more sense. Now we just need vague Imperial-Latin chanting to accompany it.
How about fragmenting-breakaway tips? they would be slightly easier to make as, well , if you were to make breakaways you might as well get them to do a little more damage.
@@shootymcshootfacekoff7972 How about you drill a hole in the tip the size of a 9mm blank cartridge and have the tips explode on impact. That'd be neat.
In America, we had something similar as toys in the 1950s. They were called "Jarts" or "Lawn Darts." They're not made anymore though because too many people got hurt.
The Romans also used a lot of different poisons and toxins during battles, so they probably made good use of those when using Plumbata. Also, try using playing cards to stiffen your flights, it might help with stability 👍
If you tie the tail string at the base but leave the ends long and loose, you could still grab and release, but it wouldn't get stuck in branches. Like the leather straps used for falconry, untied ends so the bird's feet don't get tied up on branches.
When younger this is the same game we called lawn darts, people stand 50 feet apart and throw darts toward each other to try and get them to land in 2 foot circle for points, just like horse shoes, thanks for the Roman info, always like watching you
I can see several advantages to having the string loop.... one can spin them around much faster for greater distance... plus, a single person can swing several (maybe a dozen?) of these from one hand and rain a whole lot of nasty down in an area!

I had a set of these as a kid! They were called lawn darts, or yard darts? I can’t remember but it was back when there were less attorneys running around!
Work on a construction crew and once made an awesome mace with large curved square washers offset from each other and tightened at the end of and all thread.
When I was a kid I got grounded in my room and I tore the slats off my bunk bed and put razor blades in the wooden dowel that held my window closed and used them as aboriginal throw sticks which essentially give you a second elbow to throw with for leverage. I bet these darts would work well with an aboriginal throw stick
You should try removing the fletchings. It looks like the rope you added might provide enough drag to keep it flying straight. I wonder how much further it would go? Thanks for another great video. Love your channel!

To safely retrieve your plumbata: jam a stake in the ground, tie a rope to your rake and run the rope through the stake so you can pull horizontally from a safe distance.
Joerg, I have a challenge for you! I want to see you make a hand crank(or drillpowered), gatling style steel ball launcher that self cocks and feeds from a hopper.

On the end of the string, a note is tied. Then after carving a dart out of an 18-inch stick make sure a flat wide fin is on one end, and a point on the other.
