This vid is a blacksmith project about a shitty weapon. He tests out a medieval projectile that doesn't even have a proper name.
"Stones on sticks." Really. Just rocks. On sticks.

That's more entertaining than it sounds. He's got a Javelin Olympian doing test throws of various projectile types. It's approached as a science and engineering project. Good light entertainment.
