Yes. Try it out with Imoen.

He's correct six, darts have 3 APR. Still, if you dont want to have to change things in your inventory every time you want to use a shield, then darts may be the way to go. There are heaps of darts, and you could always use throwing daggers (not sure about APR on these) There are a few returning throwing daggers. These all allow you to use a shield (not that you'd really miss a buckler+1)

Just a thought: Could you use the helm which gives you 1xsimmulacrun/day, and a scroll of MMM (which have 5APR i think) to get poisoned +5 weapons with 5 APR which cut through stoneskin? It would be pretty cool.. not to mention powerful (although limited to 1 use/day)
