    Ehhh... I don't think thats such a good idea. Keep in mind that nobody is a ninja or anything, just government agents. Plus if ubisoft is going for the more realistic version of all gear then a good kevlar vest would stop any throwing knives.

    I don't like the idea because it's very difficult to throw any object (that must rotate to be effective) accurately and with enough power to be deadly.

    I must say that i dont see the point, if i had a good knife with me i would really not try to throw it away. Also, whats the point of duble bladed other than the look of it? you can get more accurate vith a single blade throwingknife than you would be with anything double bladed.
    and as said before, it has a very restricted area of use because of armour, cover and even certain clothes. knives dont penetrate quite as easy as it looks on film.

    A knife can get through most cloth based material pretty easily. However a knife would have a hard time getting through magazines, the ammo inside them, and a sappi plate. Not really a realistic alternative.

    I was more thinking of the layers of clothes, you would have to throw pretty hard to get through a molle vest, leather jacket, and a shirt and tshirt. even if there is no metal.
    There is no doubt it is possible to get a knife through hat given enough force but thrown? and as a frisbee(spinning)? not so sure.
