How to choose ninja weapons 
Use throwing stars to inflict minor wounds. 
Throwing stars are trademark ninja weapons. They come in many different sizes, but essentially they are flat pieces of metal with sharpened tips that can be thrown at enemies from a distance.
Throwing stars were originally created as non-lethal weapons meant to distract or slow down an enemy, but soon proved useful in delivering serious, though not life threatening, wounds. They could be turned into lethal weapons by dipping the pointed tips in poison before throwing them.
