Throw Arm Extension

The lightweight extension straps onto your forearm and by clenching and opening your hand, it can grip and release objects. More sophisticated than a spear-thrower (atlatl, woomera) or a sling, its battery backpack powered joint gives extra speed to every throw and allows it to fold against the arm for transport. After a week’s brain-muscle training you can be proficient in hurling accurate, high-speed missiles over long distances.

The throw arm extension can be used by soldiers to launch grenades or engage in hand to “hand” bayonet combat from farther away. Police can throw teargas canisters or softballs at rioting mobs far from their shower of cobblestones and flambé cocktails.

A multitude of ultra sports is possible with this lengthened arm, motorized or not. Private uses could include lofting tomatoes from the theater’s cheapest seats or paying for and grabbing a beer at a crowded bar before a round of long-distance darts.
