thrower

The infantry were equipped with flame throwers.

The flame-thrower jetted out flames.

He's the best javelin thrower in U.S. history, having medaled at the 2007 World Championships (the Scandinavians rule the sport).

Harpoons and other fishing tackle appear at 18,000 years ago, as do bone spear throwers, or atlatls.

A player peeling off at the front of the lineout can do so as soon as the ball leaves the throwers hands.

The reverse side of the Olympic note features the ancient Greek marble statue of a discus-thrower, Discobolus, portraits of athletes and the numerals "2008".
