Anyone have the stats for this weapon handy?

I watched the Orc Olympics on ESPN2 once. During the shot-put competition, Thrak the Bloody set a new world record by throwing an elf 36 feet!

Impressive, to say the least.

Especially since they are so light, and tend to flutter in the air like paper when thrown.

Aaah, the Orcish Shot Put.. the greatest weapon to have the distance and returning qualities on 'em, ever.

I would want to be lugging them around the battle field! They'd be really effective if you hit though.

Compared to throwing four smaller throwing weapons instead, the damage isn't that impressive.
