Sounds like it's legal according to Melee. But, as you point out, it's not
possible in AM. I'd bet that the AM change is a fix to this "loophole" in
Melee.

It would be interesting to play-test it your way to see how unbalanced (or
not) it makes the game.

Thinking about double-damage from a thrown spear, I see that damage for
Spear has been nerfed over the iterations of Melee to AM. That is, in
various copies of Melee, damage for a Spear is listed as 1+2, then 1+1, and
finally just 1 in Advanced Melee (when used 1-handed).
