One of my personal favourites in terms of exotic weaponry is the African throwing iron, the Hunga-Munga:

Yeah, I'd like to see one in action as well. It was supposed to be pretty effective both in melee and thrown, the designs operating on the principle that if you've got enough blades on the thing, one of them's bound to cut or pierce your target when it hits.

Fixed the image links for the Nine Dragon Trident above, by the way, for anyone curious what I often refer to as, "the combat hatstand" looks like.

cheers!
