the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

For the fighty amongst ye: What are a few of the unusual weapons you've had experience with? Could be something you've used, had used on you, or seen in use. Seems like found objects are always popular... I had a fellow cold-cock me with a boombox (remember boomboxes?), and I've used a helmet (not on my head) to get clear of an ass-kicking I was on the receiving end of. Best though, was watching a couple of street urchins brawling on Upper Haight in SF. One pulled up a paving stone to bash the other, but he was too weak to use it and couldn't catch up with his target. He gave chase for about a block, holding it overhead in bash-ready position, but then just collapsed, exhausted. So rad.

Dog choke collar. I used to carry one around in my pocket with one of the end circles hanging out of the pocket in easy reach. Never struck anyone with it, thankfully.

This is my latest carry toy.

This thread should be in -Off Topic- IMO

That pen is awesome! The dog chain reminds me of a documentary tidbit about a biker gang (forget which one) that went with the Masterlock on a bandana option...

Thanks for the re-direct, I wasn't sure. Knew it wasn't for the big board...

I like the pen alot. I may sand off the logos on the pocket clip and the top and then spray paint those areas black so it is more inconspicuous. To me the white Smith$Wesson logo stands out and tells everyone what you've got.

I got mine through Amazon for less than $25.

err... i have been on the receiving end of ..




and some nice police officers tried to put my head through one of these


best weapon i have ever used is half a pint of warm beer... liquid over the face to distract, time to put down the glass and pin the drunken guy down till he chilled out

Nice! I saw a guy break his own collarbone trying to ram another's head through a Chevy van. (Company picnic gone bad.) The drink in the face is hella Sam Spade--I like it.

My current toy...

Perfect tool as we enter autumn and it's getting darker earlier.
