* Certain martial arts teach how to throw a smooth metal spike with a tassel or ribbon tail.
* Used by [[Action Bomb|suicide bombers]] to increase damage.
* Many tarantulas (most species of Americas, but not Asian and African) grow specialized urticating hairs, which they can flick at the enemies by rubbing themselves with hind legs. And while there are spiders capable of hitting a moving target, for tarantulas with their tiny eyes "spray and pray" is the only good option. Tarantulas use these hairs not only as immediate defence, but for marking territory and weaving into webbing as "barb wire", so these are both sharp and coated with fancy organic compounds. <ref>In humans these micro-darts only causes some irritation and inflammation unless hit an eye or cause allergic reaction (which is still more dangerous than venom of these species), but small animals hit in the nose or mouth may have trouble breathing.</ref> Genera Ephebopus grows it on pedipalps instead, and thus throws by "rubbing hands", and a few others have solid non-throwing urticating hair that only works as passive defence (cactus style), though some of those fling their poo instead.
