How was the Bo used?
The Bo Shuriken was mainly used similar to the Hira Shuriken (aka shaken, throwing star, ninja star). It was thrown at a target like a throwing knife. However, it had the distinct advantages over the Hira Shuriken of looking like a lot like many everyday objects and they would also be better in the case that one was stuck in hand-on-hand combat with nothing else. The Hira Shuriken would be almost as dangerous to the user as to the target, whereas the Bo Shuriken would be good for stabbing, without as much danger to the user.

How many types of paper shurikens are there?
Well, to be perfectly honest, no one will know unless someone searches the whole world for paper shuriken models. So far, I only know 7 ways to make paper hira-shuriken models ( the ones that you see on TV, like the ones in Naruto or something). The symmetrical four-pointed shuriken, the asymmetrical four-pointed shuriken, the eight-pointed shuriken, the transforming eight-pointed shuriken, the twelve-pointed shuriken, the sixteen-pointed shuriken, and the thirty-pointed shuriken. Google these seven models and you will be able to find tutorial videos somewhere, as I learnt 2 of the 7 models I know from tutorial videos I found on Google. I hope this helps =]
