“Sometimes a passing army desires merely to amplify its forces, or replace losses, particularly among the lighter arms, such as bowmen, slingers, and javelin men.” Mercenaries of Gor, page 31
“A set of javelins, five of them, from a springal, struck from their guides by a forward-springing plank. . .” Guardsman of Gor, page 49
“Light-armed troops hurried forward, slingers and archers, and javelin men, to keep defenders back. . .” Renegades of Gor, page 259
Tarred javelins Bowmen were setting their weapons; helmets, weapons and shields were being brought up from below decks. Fires were being stoked to heat pitch and stones; bundles of tarred javelins would be shaken out near the springals and light catapults. Raiders of Gor, page 197
