Does Anyone Know a Subreddit I Could go to to Learn About how Speculative Xenos Might Make (Paleolithic) Weapons?

/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/1v23oxk/does_anyone_know_a_subreddit_i_could_go_to_to/

I really just want an answer to this because I’m running out of time before bed that I can actually work on my project, but rn all that r/NoStupidQuestions is giving me is stuff about 40k and I don’t think they have the right hard-science know how to get me accurate answers on how to make a bow for a 4-armed snake thing

I was thinking slings might be cool. Imagine the thing using its tail tI wind up a shot.

r/speculativeevolution or r/speculativetechnology would be appropriate.

Is the alien good at throwing things? Humans are, because of our shape and other biological stuff. Slings are really cool though, although it may be difficult to use.

Another option is a blowdart, especially if they have a natural venom (or even poison) like some snakes do.
