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)

Redeeming features

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?
