Ninja Weapons
Ninja weapons are usually small and light, with a
few exceptions. The weapons are small and light
for quick and easy deployment and hiding. Most
Ninja weapons kill silently and quickly, and the
victim doesnt usually know what hit him.

Ninja Facts and Fiction
Ninjas cannot fly, do not have super strength,
they cannot turn invisible at will, etc. Use your
common sense here. In Medieval Japan, Ninjas
would create and spread those myths to further
intimidate their opponents, the samurais. Ninjas
were actually quite weak, so weak that a samurai
would destroy a ninja in hand to hand combat. The
only ways that a ninja would be able to beat a
samurai is by using stealth, surprise, special
tools, and intimidation. If a ninja were to face
a samurai, the ninja would probably do something
clever, like hide in the ceiling of the building
and make loud stomping noises to make the samurai
think that something big and angry is coming. The
ninja would then descend upon the bewildered
samurai and strangle him.
Ninjas cant do that

What are Ninjas????
Ninjas are specialized soldiers who came into
existence at about 800 A.D. During this time many
families feuded for dominion over Japan. These
families needed a soldier that could sneak into
someone elses castle and do covert
assassinations, spy, and gather
information. Samurais could not do this job
because of their strict code of Bushido, if a
samurai were forced to spy on someone they would
have to commit hara-kiri, or ritual suicide.
Ninjas came from warrior monks that practiced
nonuse or the art of stealth. These monks were
hired by the feuding families because they had
not strict code of Bushido and could do almost
anything.
