SA:Throwable hatchet/machete.

[Twixx (DayZ) 39]

Hey, my friend has this suggestion that hatchets and machetes should be throwable in small range, they would probably insta-kill zombies, but not players.

opinions?

While sounding pretty cool, machetes aren't really made for throwing, and even for axes that are purpose made for throwing (which Im pretty sure the ones we have now aren't) it takes a lot of skill to actually hit something, much less a moving target (even if that target is running towards you).

Ehhh I don't like the idea:

1. Very hard to throw an axe, extremely hard to throw a machete.

2. Why not just walk 10 steps closer and hack them up instead of throwing away what is presumably your only weapon?

Too fantasy for me... as far as I know throwing axes, etc, were pretty much only used if the person had multiple weapons and they were also expressly designed for that purpose.

How many axe or whatever will we be able to carry in SA? Would have have to be if you threw it.. it's gone til you pick it up again...?

Boomerangs on the other hand...

Have you ever tried to throw a knive/machete(and hit) on something before? Not to mention that piercing a moving zombie with it would not be fatal.

Plus it might be a bit OP if you could insta-kill a player with a flying axe, if you practiced enough you could probably throw an axe across Elektro into a new-spawns face. But cool idea I suppose.
