There was another discussion in Rules Discussion on staves about the meaning of the word "Padding" in rule specifically whether or not the word meant it had to be striking surface padding or just haft padding. If the term "Padding" is taken just as haft padding - then it's entirely possible to build a javelin with two stabbing tips. It would pass only as a Class 3, not a Class 1 since the padding wouldn't be a striking surface, so it could then also be a Class 4 and conform to both definitions.

In my mind, it's kinda like saying that hitting someone with a standard blue on a backswing doesn't count when you missed on the initial swing, because you "didn't mean to hit them" with the backswing. If the shot hits, then it hits regardless of which blade it hits with.
1.4.1.5. The minimum overall length of a Class 1 is 12 inches plus the length of the handle and pommel.
