Shattering

I remember an old game once where I tried to wield one of these, figuring the 1d9 damage was quite respectable. However, after a few hits, it shattered and was lost; does anyone know if this happens with other throwing weapons, and what the mechanics of it are? E.g., does high enchantment prevent this, does BUC help, does luck help, etc? -Ion frigate 11:33, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

The article mentions "Despite some redeeming features...", but it does not really go into detail as to what these are. The damage is obviously good for a stackable ranged weapon, but I'm not sure what other "redeeming features" there are. Anyone?
