The Meteor Hammer is a concealed striking weapon used by Wang Shuang in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In this Subject, the name refers first to the weapon as the novel presents it, without importing a later standardized construction.
A Concealed Set of Three
Chapter 97 says that Wang Shuang conceals three meteor hammers and uses them with great accuracy. The number and concealed carry are explicit parts of his literary weapon identity.
The Strike against Zhang Yi
During combat, Wang Shuang feigns retreat and then strikes Zhang Yi in the back with a meteor hammer. The episode presents the weapon as a surprise projectile or thrown hammer used alongside Wang Shuang’s heavy saber and bow.
Construction Remains Open
The novel does not say that these hammers are attached to ropes or chains, and it does not define them as the flexible meteor-hammer form familiar from some later martial arts traditions. CG therefore leaves the connection mechanism and exact shape unresolved.
