 It's been a while since I read up on the finds, and the newer the claims
the more bullshit, but are they saying to have found thrusting spears?

Well, the spears were, either thrust, or thrown over a short distance. Thrusting spear you can throw over short distance, throwing spears you can just throw (it means, long distances). I can hit somebody's head with a chair, by breaking it onto his head, or by throwing chair over short distance. Everything can be hit over short distance, they wouldn't mention short distance if they were using throwing spears, which can be thrown over long distance. So, the spears were definitely thrusting, and it is known that this is the way Neanderthals used their spears.
