Shuriken

Also see the original: Shuriken

The shuriken, alongside the Kunai, is one of the most basic weapons used by a Shinobi. It takes the shape of a small, metal, four-pronged star. It has a hole in the center for grabbing. Its primary use is for throwing; it is a mid-range weapon that is stated to begin losing trajectory after about thirty feet. However, when accommodating for this, the shuriken can still be effective at a much greater distance.
