zenosanalytic I wonder if throwing knives would be more useful in space cuz no gravity and greater difficulty dodging. Though I guess throwing something would change your inertia too
Possibly, but you'd have to practice a lot in a 0g environment, because throwing things in space is very different than on Earth - objects don't arc, which we're usually expecting when throwing. And if you miss your target those suckers are going to keep going.
I also read that on the ISS stuff disappears and shows up in bizarre places (again, because of the zero gravity, you can't set something on a countertop and expect it to still be there later) so I am now envisioning a spaceship story with a knife thrower on the team but their knives are constantly showing up in weird places. Shake your blankets out, they might have knives in them! Open up the cupboard to get some food? Knives. Need to use the space toilet? Oh you will never expect what happens next-
