A complete version of Indian traditional weapons

It was an Indian who invented the throwing weapon, which is now called chakra.

With the progress of science and technology, people began to use gunpowder as a weapon very early. Gunpowder weapon, heat, is what we often say. As the hot weapons become more and more advanced, the corresponding cold weapons gradually withdraw from the historical stage. However, because cold weapons have been used by human beings for thousands of years, many wonderful cold weapons have appeared in history during the long process of use. They are grotesque but powerful, among which a weapon called a wheel blade is the most peculiar.

At first glance, it looks like a collar worn by a child. It's cute. It is difficult to associate it with a killing weapon, but it can not only kill people, but also throw people, and the blade is imported weapons. Blades first came from India in South Asia. From this picture, we can see that the blade is an indispensable weapon for Indian soldiers, which is equivalent to China's dagger or sword.

Because the blade is single-edged, most Indian soldiers at that time put the blade on their arms or necks, and because it is a ring weapon, a soldier can put many blades on it. There are two main uses of the blade. One is to hold it as a knife or sword for self-defense, which is forced by the enemy in do or die. Besides holding it for self-defense, the preferred use of the blade is throwing.

Judging from its shape and throwing way (flying like a dart), the blade of the wheel is doomed to fly not far, so its throwing is more like a trapped animal. According to historical records, the range of the wheel blade is more than 30 meters, which is even closer than that of ordinary grenades. However, because the blade is very sharp, as long as the enemy enters the range of the blade and is hit by the blade, then this person will be disabled if he dies.

When it comes to the Indian idea of developing blades, it comes from the description of human energy center in their religion, and there are similar descriptions in some ancient books in China, and blades are made according to this idea. In Mr. Jin Yong's masterpiece The Condor Heroes, the King of the Golden Wheel, a Buddhist monk in the Western Regions, challenged the Central Plains and Guo Jing with a weapon similar to the blade of the wheel. Perhaps this is the time when the blades have the highest appearance rate in China.

The powerful Indian blade is useless in China, so it can only exist in TV series and movies. The reason is that there are too many throwing weapons in China, and darts with similar range and blade are more concealed and compact than it. Moreover, the throwing skills of darts are very easy to master, which is why China has never developed this blade, so that he turned it out as a strange cold weapon to recall.

People living in modern times play a game called hoop. In fact, you can understand it as a way for the wheel blade to enter the lives of ordinary people. Because its principle and throwing method are very similar to the ferrule, perhaps more cold weapons will disappear in the weapon world in the future, and then be transformed into another field to shine.
