A cool new weapon would be spears and javelins to hunt with would have slightly less range then a bow and I think would be a fun addition

Every so often this suggestion appears so I'll just say this and leave it handy to copy and paste every time xD

Hunting spears are not legal hunting weapons due to several reasons:
-It is not possible to determine its level of lethality, this will depend 100% on its user, so the state authorities cannot verify it individually for each one, any weapon that cannot kill an animal in a single shot is not considered Ethical, it is The same logic applies to hunting calibers for each animal.
-It requires getting too close to the animal, which in many cases requires using baits (which are not legal in many countries), if not used, it requires using a lot of camouflaged equipment to go unnoticed by the animal, which greatly increases the risk of suffering an accident. hunting incident.
-The 2 conditions of approach that I name cannot be met on public hunting lands, state hunting laws must be universal and cover all lands, if something does not suit one then it is not legal on any of them.

The same thing happens with Blowguns, are not categorized as legal hunting weapons., their use is illegal in all countries that are not in Africa (or Argentina in private lands), hunting poison is illegal, unethical and its sale and manufacture is prohibited (Some indigenous tribes use them but they do not need hunting licenses xD), added to the fact that in the game less 5% of players can approach an animal within 10m to use them, the only animals in the game that can be hunted with them without using poison without the rabbits, which are quite blind and one can even step on them.

Both weapons, if introduced into the game, would only be "fodder for hackers" who freeze animals or become invisible.
