Flechette

A Flechette is a metallic projectile with a sharp tip, very similar to an arrow but with a smaller size. It is used by Arrow, as a kind of knife being used to cut ropes and other materials, however can also be thrown in order to disarm or neutralize distant targets, where Oliver has no more arrows, and not in a good position to sack them. Oliver when on the pretext of Arrow, carries a number of them in his left gauntlet, and one in a holster on his right leg. It is one of the signature weapons of Arrow and as his arrows, has versions with specific technological devices.
