Edged weapon lethality.

It’s zero at 20 feet, and that is my intrusion limit.

I suppose they are not used any more but I used to throw the javelin competitively. I could go just under 200 feet which is a hundred feet less than a world class thrower but still at 20 feet I could easily kill someone.

Actually the ones used in competition are too heavy imo. About half that weight would be deadly.
