EDIT: ran a quick search looking for cheap throwing knives (I don't care enough to search the legal issue) and found J & L, Knives, Throwing Knives

I know they're illegal to carry in public, but I'd be willing to bet you can own them and wouldn't be bothered for using them on private property. I own plenty of knives that are on that list, but as long as I'm not walking around with them, I'm OK.

Did you know a knife beats a gun "every time"? Check this guy out:

I have only had really cheap throwing knives when I was a kid and bent the heck out of them. However, I did though other things such as 8 inch spikes for railroad ties all the way down to horseshoe nails. I threw the spikes into a sheet of 1/4inch plywood, and it would go right through without any problem. The horseshoe nails were the best because they are so darn sharp they stick into almost anything.

I also used to shoot hypodermic needles off syringes, and into phone books. Just plug the needle up with clay, put it on the end of a 60cc syringe, and depress the plunger really quick. not accurate at anything over say 5 feet, but a lot of fun.

That must take some skill ...

I'd like to see him doing that with the dummy shooting back.

did you watch the balloon?

No, I missed the balloon. Did he miss the target and hit the balloon?
Just kidding.
He is certainly a better shot than me.
When I'm shooting a safe place is generally directly in front of the target.
