    Just one up him, make a throwing spear with three points, you can call it a Trident Missile.

    and one day they will build a board with a nail in it. Then they’ll build a bigger board with a bigger nail and soon they’ll build a board with a nail so big they’ll destroy the world!

    How far can he fling that thing? It looks pretty unwieldy.

    He has a reusable first stage that’s back at the cave—the atlatl.

    Actually, in the arms race, the atlatl proved superior to the long spear.

    Besides, once that cliff gives way, the guys behind the rock will be safe!

    I know this is a joke but that’s literally the reason for a spear. Men attacking with knives and clubs were easy for someone with a spear to kill. It’s not an ICBM, but it was a long-range weapon for its day.
