***THWACK!***
Not fast enough.
Bwahahahahaha.
See, one of the differences between New Zealand & Australia is that over
here, the locals invented a rather nice tool for making a spear go fast
enough to fatally injure rapidly fleeing prey, such as kangaroos, or
stray 'merkins.
I'll leave it to Peter G to come up with one of the Maori LARTs to
further demonstrate the cultural differences that can be found between
NZ & Oz.

Which shows just how deviant Australians really are. Over here we use a
mere[0] to stun them, but we don't kill them outright - necrooviphilia is
purely an Australian thing.

I STR reading reports by British officers about the extreme
unpleasantness of being on the receiving end of a taiaha[1] Of course,
this being the 90's the LART of choice is now the dreaded 'land
claim'[2][3]
[1] IIRC, about 4 feet long. A sort of spear/quarterstaff affair...
nasty.
[2] The author makes no comment about whether or not this is a Good
Thing[4]
[3] Of course, the original tenants of that dust-bowl across the ditch
are doing the same thing.
[4] Other than to observe the irony of the situation, and suggest that
perhaps blankets and muskets *are* a good long-term investment

A popular Maori hunting technique was fire: find what you want to kill,
set almost everything on fire around it, and LART it with spears and clubs
when it runs for safety.
Which might sound a little OTT< but if you're hunting 3 metre chickens, the
bigger the LART, the better.
