Consider Weighted Thrown Weapons

I am heavily considering splitting out several weapons into their own category. These weapons are weighted and usually involve some kind of spinning motion to increase velocity. Because they're long, thin, and flexible, these should grant bonuses to parry, to disarm an opponent, and to strangle an opponent.

Name	AP	Parry	Harm	Type	Notes	Cost	Mus
Sling†	3	−5	3	B	Reload: 1AP	10𝕤	2
Slungshot†	3	0	0	B		0𝕤	0
Surujin‡	3	0	0	B		0𝕤	0
Kusari-fundo†	3	0	0	B		10𝕤	0
Kusari-gama‡	4	−1	5	B,S	+1 vs Parry, Disarm +2, Grip +3	250𝕤	4
Meteor hammer‡	5	−3	8	B	+2 vs Parry, Disarm +1, Grip +2	200𝕤	5
Rope dart‡	3	0	0	P		0𝕤	0

• Sling – A strip of rope or leather cord attached to a pouch. The wielder can launch any small blunt object — like a stone — with a few good swings.
• Slungshot – An improvised maritime weapon (Weights and rope, swung close range)
• Kusari-fundo – (1 to 4 ft long, chain capped by small weights)
• Kusari-gama – A Kama (see One-handed Axes) attached at its base to a heavy metal weight by a 3–5 foot length of chain. The weighted ball can be used to strike opponents and wrap around limbs or weapons, and entangled foes are easily dispatched by the sharpened blade.
• Surujin – (6 to 9 ft long, rope instead of chain)
• Meteor hammer – (6 to 9 ft long, weight size varies)
• Rope dart – (10 to 16 ft long)

Next, I think at least nunchaku should be added to One-handed bludgeons. It's like a mini flail.

Finally, we have devices meant to capture a creature. Maybe these are just pieces of equipment and they use this weapon category.

• Bolas
• Net
• Lasso
