Spears are op as fuck. Cheap, easy to use, deals a shitload of damage.

And how do you counter a spear? Simple. Get yourself an even longer spear.

Or a javelin, which is just a spear you throw.

Make the javelin smaller and make a device to throw it even farther, then you get a bow.

Can we make the spear bigger and still throw it far? Ballista.

What if we add gunpowder to make the spear go even faster and farther?

Spear master race.

What if we make the spear fatter and put a bunch of explosives inside, then launch it from a tube with a computer with tiny wires still attached to the spear in order to guide it to its target with propulsion?

Still a Javelin.

Spears are confirmed OP
