I've studied several weapons and I have to say that if I were to dislike one weapon it would be the nunchuka.
While if practiced extensively they can become extremely effective weapons, they aren't really more effective than other simpler weapons (stick or rope) and you're much, much less likely to have them on hand when you need them.
It's true that it can generate devastating force, it's not much if any more forceful than a stick without the chain in the middle. Beyond that, I think they're less effective for blocking/ trapping than that belt you're probably wearing right now.
The day I get into a nunchuka fight is bad day indeed.
