A Flechette (French; Dart) is a metallic projectile with a sharp tip, very similar to an arrow but with a smaller size. It is used by the Arrow, as a kind of knife, being used to cut ropes and other materials, however, it can also be thrown in order to disarm or neutralize distant targets. The Arrow carries a number of them in his left gauntlet, and one in a holster on his right leg. It is one of the signature weapons of the Arrow and, similar to his arrows, comes in a variety of types.
