How would I go about flinging a matzoukion from an atlatl-like device?

You wouldn't. Maces aren't throwing weapons.

The mace head?
But I won't if that is a stupid idea.
EDIT:

[Eisarn-Ara]

I'm pro thrall-taking, are you?

Not really. You see, my nation abolished chattel slavery about 2,000 years ago.

Now see, you fucked up; without Thralls, who will work themselves to death in salt mines or on plantations? Or work in zones of danger should the liability of skilled-worker loss be too high? Hell, who will be your disposable mine detectors?

Mus-wait that's trolling.

Illegal immigrants.

Guys, I accidentally'd a a carbine, calling it the Gd1947.

Nice. Sights look a little far back, though.

Oooooh, gonna have to use that one as well! Maybe as mine detectors on the Balkenreich border? That could prove cost effective.

Yeah, I'm going to have to fix that.

They're actually meant to poke into the users cheek, thus encouraging them to fire from the hip like men. That or to keep them awake while guarding checkpoints.

Well, I mean hey, it's a sieg-device derivative, in a 6.4x31mm cartridge. So, it'll be on target, with mostly-controllable recoil..................sorta

[Fordorsia]

Well aqiz, arkandros got information about whatever it is you needed. Can you do anything with it?

okey smokey

So I cobbled together a functional spreadsheet to calculate it (so I can be lazy later), And your total volume with 1.5mm case thickness is 200,659.93mm^3, or 200.66cm^3.*
I also calculated volumes for different volumetric efficiencies, so here ya go.
95%= 206.89cm^3
90%= 196.00cm^3
85%= 185.11cm^3
80%= 174.22cm^3
*my last calculation was incorrect- I subtracted case thickness from the radius as opposed to diameter.

What about sea salt? What about not going through a mined field? What about using wild animals and automated steamrollers?

We pride ourselves in being nice, unlike so many other nations.

Just do what we do in Purpelia and revoke any and all protection from individuals who are not present in your country, even if they are. To give you an idea of what I am talking about the Purpelian doctrine on illegals is best exemplified in a court case that happened back in 68. The court ruled on the case of the killing of an illegal migrant as follows:
- As the alleged victim has allegedly entered the country illegally there is no documentation of said entry. Thus the prosecution has failed to prove that the alleged victim ever entered Purpelia.
- By failing to prove that the alleged victim has entered Purpelia they have failed to prove that he ever was in Purpelia. After all, he can't have teleported in.
- Given that we must conclude that the alleged victim was in fact NOT in Purpelia and thus could not have been killed in Purpelia.
- As the Purpelian state and courts have no jurisdiction over lands outside of Purpelia there is no case.

No we don't compel them to pass through the minefield. We just let time do its work; as wild animals naturally wander through the patch, well...

You're still blowing up potential cavalry there.

Yes, we're blowing up the chimpanzee, cheetah, and grizzly divisions.

but why is the question?

Because we think that humans have a right to live, unlike Hyggemata

THAT'S SPECIESIST!

But bears can be used for war!

Wojtek dude.

We keep giant pandas, but not other types of bears.

The fuck is being discussed

That's so much segregation my crocodile rights are hurting.
