No, but I've seen a Klingon on screen being /shot/ by an arrow!

Barring a dedicated word, I'd probably just use *naQjejHom, chonnaQHom, 
*or*gnIntaqHom* as the situation warranted. Maybe I'd say something like 
*naQjejHom vo'lu'bogh*/minor spear which is propelled;/ maybe using 
*vo'* instead of *chuH* is enough to show this just a small thrown spear.

Oh, look! This question has been asked before: 
https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/97330/klingon-for-arrow

I don't have /Hamlet/ handy. How did they translate /slings and arrows/?
