Then jump off a roof with a knife, whatever. I think an arrow through the face is a pretty good statement, it's not exactly "covert". Point is, there's pretty much no situation where flinging your twenty foot arm at somebody's chest to explode their heart, then reeling that thing back in, tying it up, and running off is going to be a better method of assassination than literally any other way to kill somebody at all.

My question, it was ignored. ;_;
There is also the question of whether he used that skill on just humans, or creatures that were invulnerable to ordinary weapons.
Considering that it's a curse meant specifically to curse humans and only humans, the answer seems pretty obvious.
His dirks could not penetrate mighty knight armor or hit speedy lightly armored calvary so he kept the dirks for regular shmoes and took the arm to piss on European blacksmithing.

McJon: Ohhh, really? I didn't know that. Mages then? I mean mages are still humans and you know that they have skills to shield them from normal weapons.
yu could fail with a knife, but failing with the devil's arm seems a lot harder. plus its not like the historical assassins cared onw bit about escaping, they just killed their target and stood there while the guards killed them, because they thought they'd die as a martyr and get to paradise then, so...
I don't really think you should call them MEoHAP, because that's stupid. Anybody can perceive a heart attack. Just drop the perception part.
Still just imagine him fleeing the scene of an assassination. That arm is almost certainly useless outside of the initial burst to rocket it out, and he wouldn't have time to painstakingly redo all the stitches and bandages that hold it in manageable club form. So after every assassination, there he is, running away dragging that twenty foot dead fish arm behind him in the sand.
I bet he delegated most of the jobs to his peons and spent all day wondering what was in that batch of Hashish that made the "badass devil arm" thing seem like such a good plan.

But he was Da Leader! It's fine for the peons to die, but the Old Man of the Mountain is "immortal", remember?
well, is it sure that the arm is unusuable as a normal arm after gettign out? if he could use it a s anormal arm it could be REALLY useful for climbing and stuff due to its length.
NO FUCK YOU ARMS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY
Neither does having swords grow out of your body for the purpose of keeping you alive.
No, that's exactly how having swords grow out of your body to keep you alive works.
Having swords grow out of your body doesn't keep you alive. Apparently, it did for Shirou. Explain.
Probably not. Old Islamic organisation = men's club only.
But then, assassins. They probably don't give a shit if you have a uterus or not, as long as you can stab things in the face really well.
No, Excalibur is fuelled by dragon reactor and Shirou sperm.
Let's be fair here. With a gun, crossbow or dirk, you can't kill somebody round a corner without them seeing you poking your face around it. Satan arm has an elbow.
Also, ignores armour.
There are these little things called habits, empathy, stool pigeons and death sentences that get in the way when you're trying to pull off killings with regular assassins. Spend a couple extra grand on a kid who'd be almost guaranteed to kill his target, kill himself or get himself killed, and not be able to give anything away, rather than relying on some outsider gaijin who'll probably go home and brag about it later.For that matter, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to train a child to punch somebody's head off is also < Shoot them in the goddamn face.

Have you ever seen swords grow out of somebody's body? No, you haven't, so your assertion that it doesn't keep you alive is baseless. I, on the other hand, knew a guy with a twenty foot spider arm, and as popular as it made him with the ladies it did him no favors for mobility.
