[@agent4754]

If ever there is an zombie apocalypse, can I come in your team Armin?

Zombie team needs: Someone who can make everything a weapon Someone who can use a bow and arrow very effectively Someone who can use a firearm and make silencers very effectively Someone who can fight very quietly Someone with medical expertise Someone with agriculture OR hunting expertise Someone with gathering expertise (materials, firewood, mushrooms, berries) Someone with extremely good social skills, specifically leadership and peacekeeping And finally, a therapist

I knew of finding needle in the haystack, but now there's finding needle on the floor, if you don't hit the board. Hahaha. Needle for 2 MTRS, pencil for 4 MTRS, fletchless arrow in 10 MTRS , 1/2" pvc pipe at 15 MTRS...anything flies with Armin specially time. Muchos Gracias Armin by sharing thru your heart.

Well described Armin.. same technique as of throwing knives.. great

Good video, you need to try the Bo-Shurikens, they are basically throwable nails

[@cdbc4023]

Love it! I'm never going to throw needles, but that was so entertaining. Thank you.

Good that you felt the needle to comment

[@hydraulichydra8363]

I can't believe "throwing needles" are actually a thing. So awesome!

[@craigridley7369]

Why not? They are an excellent weapon. And remember, the government gonna have to start needle control. But seriously, they are like darts you see.

[@hydraulichydra8363]

@@craigridley7369 I wish they'd give Big Pharma some needle control!

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

As a child, we would have a small piece of sewing string left in the eye and then the sharp end will face forward when throwing the needle longer distances, the other end being slowed down by the thread. A little tuft of cotton ball attached to the eye and you have a dart for a blow gun...

[@ArminHirmer]

Yepp did that later, helps

[@janedagger]

How to put holes in things ! Wheeeeeeeeeee ! Bloody owwsome, sir. I bow to your stubbornness to learn so many things. Yup. Now, on to .. crochet !

[@xsweatband202]

I know this may sound really dumb, i’m only like a min into the vid but i need to know. When throwing from great distance, do they spin? or is the weight distribution made to not spin?

[@ArminHirmer]

Depends how you throw, if you put some twine at the end they fly even better

[@ephraimstoddard5652]

I have watched movies where they are able to throw needled with the flick of a finger. Is that real or just movie cinematics?

[@FourHorsemen-k2y]

Armin you would make a good Kung fu practitioner with that relaxed whipping action in both your arms ..

[@miguelveratraditionalarche9374]

Awesome!!!😀 Great Mr. Armin you have multiple skills⚡

[@CodeSkylette]

Where's you get the throwing needles? Still can't find any

[@henryanderson8810]

They’re quite over-kill but i made my own from those large lawn staples used for nailing down yard turf. about 12in long and quite heavy feels great to throw and unimaginably satisfying to learn. Hope this helps!

[@andyhillsden]

A pleasure to watch :-)

[@lebondave4377]

Exotic but really fun! :)

the next thing you should do is cover the origine of the flying projectileweapons. the bolas, slings and the diffrent forms of atlatls :basketmaker, highspur, looped, forked, and so on.

Go for it and let me know how it works for you

Well all I can imagine is piercing one's weak spot and maybe paralyze or weaken them

[@Archerstidbits]

This is really an epic video! Never even thought of doing this, now I'll have to try it😂. Wondering if I could convince my colleague at the office to make a target opposite our desk? Probably not, but still... Keep going strong, these videos rock!

[@xhmm1323]

its really works. even with toothpicks

Need to try

Are you an Assasin or someone like that?

[@blahblah7661]

Gonna pop my neighbors water slide

[@bow2me26]

Just control the balance and use your fingers to create enough of a back spin to negate any natural forward spin in a throw and you will be able to throw anything without worrying about the spin your welcome. Thats the way to throw for combat instead of doing the silly magician knife throw that requires you to maintain the same distance in a throw which doesn't work well in real life because a target is moving and the spin would cause your throw to fail this way the blade stays towards the target instead of spinning

[@bow2me26]

Master that and you will be able to throw anything from knives to needles to scissors to swords etc.

More practice?

[@acespades8037]

How hey was throwing in the beginning is not sum new technique grab a knife by the handle if u throw it like that and just fallow threw it’ll stick

[@CamieChuu]

Pov : u are a weeb and trying to do the trick like Yor do🙈🤣

[@svent1000]

I'm not as good as you shooting bows, even if I have done it a lifetime. So I think. But throwing things, thats my spesiality. And you are doing it wrong. That technic wouldnt do any harm. You have to make the projectile, the knife or needle, spin. This make bigger force on impact and will commit more damage to the target. (If that is the purpose). So usually you need to hold the throwing object in the tip, and estimate how many time it need to spin before hitting the target. Within 3 meters one spin is optimal. Cant show you here, but with some practice its possible to make a knife spinning and even penetrate a target at great distance. I used to throw knives up to ten meters after years of training. That technic shown here is fun but isnt effective in real use.

[@jetb1731]

Nothing is "wrong" here. 1.Its a well described no spin technique. 2. Nobody is going to war with Needles xD By the way , good entertaining video, Armin :) Greets Nil

[@ArminHirmer]

as I mentioned and showed, of course one can do that. BUT i prefer instinctive. sorry when you only know one style of throwing... there are many. And spin throw is the worst of all, as you always need a fix distance to the target.

[@svent1000]

Martial art is to me, something that should be functional. Thats why I made a comment. Even needles can be thrown so they spin and impact will improve. And can be used from longer distance, even if its just fore fun. I wouldnt bring needles to war.

[@ArminHirmer]

@@svent1000 martial arts, me too. thats why instinctive, as the enemy is never at the same distance - or I am moving while throwing, hard to make this happen with fixed spin throw

[@svent1000]

No, I dont need a fixed distance to the target. I estimate it, change grip after distance and throw. And I know the technic you use here, but its not a effective metod if the purpose is to make the throw powerful. From a distance between 1 meter and 10meter, I will allways get the knife to penetrate and stick in target. That said, I need to know my projectile so every different throw object need some pratice. Anyway, I understand its just fore fun. Its only fore fun fore me to, so fare in life. And off cause, throwing your knife in combat, isnt the smartest thing to do, if you dont have more than one. By knowing many ways of throwing a knife, and this will count fore needles to, I know whats most effective. It just take much practice. But so do shooting a bow, throwing a atlatl, spear etc. And practice is allways fun.
