![]() ![]() Boomerangs, unlike other ranged attacks has the benefit of being able to come from directions other than straight ahead. Rowenson suggest, it could act as a great psychological element in a fight. As an added bonus, this will even be effective against armored knights.Īs C.R. Tie it to the end of the boomerang and snake a wide, low throw when your foe is preoccupied with the rest of your boomerangs to trip him up. The cable wires would be a great addition. If you keep an opponent pinned at distance with the threat of a bladed projectile at weird angles, they'll never be able to close the gap and you can gradually whittle their defense / evasion options by keeping as many magic ever-returning boomerangs in the air as fast as you can throw. (This is what I mean by 'trap fighter', you're perpetually locking your opponent in place.) Just charging you with a shield won't work because you can curve the boomerang around. Obviously, using a trick like 'missing' him and then having the boomerang boomerang around and nail the foe du jour in the back can only work once and is rather unsatisfying to kill off a main boss with.īut consider! Have your character throw two boomerangs at once to loop paths and attack a foe from two directions, then keep throwing more such that he's constantly being forced to fend off boomerang attacks from every direction you can manage. In other words, you can throw a boomerang and have it curve to strike your opponent, or throw it so that it will nail him in the back upon its return. The main advantage that boomerangs have over traditional throwing weapons (javelins, knives, throwing axes, bolos, etc.) is that they have a curved path. Just learn to catch them (no more impractical than using them in the first place.) They're a bit more aerodynamic than the blunt ones, and more lethal. ![]() Well, that takes away the main drawback of the boomerang, namely that it follows Newton's Third Law of equal reactions and stops when it hits something. "Retriever" Boomerangs (Boomerang that always returns to the user even after hitting through some currently unspecified method) would then be my main character's signature weaponry. Run to throwing range, throw, and instantly run back (do not wait for hit&return/recall) Have light armor and a light shield (other light armored throwers and archers are your archenemies) And it is not the best weapon for close combat.īladed variant is better - both at throwing and close combat. If you have a single boomerang, you will be weaponless and defenseless while it does its flying& hitting. Hit&run as it is.Įven if your boomerang has magical return/recall feature it all still applies. It means that boomerang fighting style is exactly the same as any throwing weapon fighting style (javelins, darts, knives, axes): have 2-3-5 of them, have light armor, run faster. Heavy enough boomerang have too wide turning circle - it just have not enough flight time to make a full turn. If it hits - it hits.īut the real reason is - the impulse that can hit hard is hard to change. And it is obvious: if boomerang can deliver damage to target it will deliver its owner on return. Real life hunting boomerang (there were no special battle ones) never return back. However I am currently trying to find other fighting styles or techniques for my character, techniques that could also harness the boomerangs ability to return to it's user. So this character of mine is ideally going to be equipped with upwards of 10 boomerangs + cable wires (to be used as a whip of sort or for tying, strangling) + throwing knives + smoke/powder pellets + backup sword + shield.Īnyway what possible fighting techniques could a character who wields almost exclusively boomerangs possibly use?Īn idea I had initially was to have my character throw Boomerangs at his opponents to distract them and then quickly close the distance between himself and his opponents in order to go for the kill. The battle boomerang, also known as boomerang weapon is a common trope in works of fiction but I can't help but wonder how effective would such a weapon really be? And for that matter how useful or useless/hazardous would a bladed variant of this weapon be? I have the impression that the wooden boomerang is the superior and more practice weapon of the two (wooden vs bladed). ![]() So I am currently contemplating making my main character a boomerang(s) wielding warrior of legend by the end of his journey/life. Context: I'm currently writing a story where I'm giving unconventional and otherwise impractical battle weapons more spotlight. ![]()

![]() The parts and the loose rivet need to be placed against a durable and stable surface before pounding of the rivet can commence. The rivet doesn’t have to fit perfectly into the hole – a hole that is slightly larger would be ideal. To drive a rivet, the parts you are forging should already have previously drilled or punched holes. No matter what tool you use, the essence behind rivet installation is the same. Since riveting has been around before power tools and rivet guns were invented, we know that rivets can be installed using old-fashioned hammers. The actual method used in the riveting process can vary based on what type of rivet you are using and what tools you have on hand. The excess length of the mandrel is then snapped off. This creates a compressive force between the head and the material being fastened, deforming the head and creating a permanent fastener. The way that a blind rivet works is that the thick head is driven into the hole being fastened while a rivet gun pulls on the thin mandrel. Driving a blind rivet will require the use of a rivet gun. The innovative design of a blind rivet is composed of two parts: a durable nail-like mandrel, and a weaker and thicker head typically made of aluminum. Blind rivetĪ blind rivet (or “pop rivet”) is a rivet used in structures where access to the structure is only possible from one side. To allow the countersink head to “sink” into the hole, the hole also needs to be designed accordingly.Ĭountersunk rivets are ideal for applications that require smooth surface either due to aesthetics or so that they will fit perfectly against another part. The only difference is that the head of a countersunk rivet is designed in a way that it will become concealed from the surface of the structure once it has been driven in place. Countersunk rivetĬountersunk rivets work very similarly to a standard rivet in that they both require access from both sides of the structure. This serves to fasten the rivet in place and to reduce the clearance between the rivet and the hole to as small as possible. Upon being driven using pneumatics or hydraulics, the tail of a standard rivet is deformed by a hammer or rivet gun. Standard rivers are considered some of the most reliable fasteners and are primarily used because they rarely fail.ĭue to the design of a standard rivet, it requires access to both sides of the materials being fastened. It is characterized by a round-head fastener, making it suitable for applications that don’t require a smooth finish on the surface of the material. The standard rivet is the most common type of rivet and is probably familiar to many. There are close to a dozen different rivet types, but we’re focusing on three of the most commonly used: 1. For larger tension loads, bolts and screws are more recommended. However, it can also support tension loads at a limited capacity. The primary purpose of a rivet is to support shear loads oriented perpendicular to the axis of the shank. The riveting process may not be as widely used nowadays as it was back then, but it remains a relevant part of modern manufacturing methods.Ī rivet is typically made of carbon steel, but lightweight alternatives like aluminum and copper are also used quite commonly. It was the go-to fastening method for heavy-duty construction jobs like bridges, skyscrapers, airplanes, and automobiles. The use of rivets goes back to the Titanic and the tanks used in the Second World War. In traditional wooden boats, copper nails and clinch bolts were used using the same principle as rivets, even before “rivet” was a term. Rivets have been an important component of construction processes for hundreds of years. On the other end is the tail, which needs to be bucked to set the rivet in place. On one end is the forged head which provides a fastener to the two parts. ![]() Its main cylindrical body, called the shank, pierces through the two parts being fastened together. If a riveted connection needs to be undone, the rivet must be destroyed by removing one of either of the two rivet heads. ![]() Since the bond created by a rivet is practically permanent, it is often used as an alternative to adhesive-bonded or welded joints. It is typically used to join two metal plates together. What is a rivet?Ī rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener typically characterized by a cylindrical body with a head on one end. What are rivets and what makes them so special? How are rivets applied to engineering and industrial parts? Let’s take a deep dive into the world of rivets. While there are hundreds of ways to do this, there are certain techniques reserved for applications that have practically zero room for failure. 3D Insider is ad supported and earns money from clicks, commissions from sales, and other ways.Īmong one of the most important aspects of modern manufacturing technology is the ability to put separate components together accurately and reliably. ![]() ![]() If the project contains a video layer, it be an MP4 collage.
