I'm given to understand that the debate is ongoing whether the preferred method was overhand (like a modern hand dart, but adjusting for the arc) or underhand (like a lawn dart)

Very cool weapons!

I thought the most elite technique was the "fan of darts" where you spin around flinging darts in all directions. Each dart lands direct center of the forehead, of course.
