Wooden pin pilum

Roman Leginaries were trained to throw pilum (javelins), hard, far and accurately. I can't, so I recruited a Team GB javelin thrower for my tests. Of course these weapons could be thrown back so an intriguing line in a Roman text explains that the head could be held in place using a wooden peg. This peg would break when it hits the target and makes the pilum harmless if thrown back. Clearly this needs making and testing; so I did.
