next time you use a rolled up magazine as a weapon, don't "poke" with it, swing it instead, nothing will stop an attacker faster than a couple hundred paper cuts across the face

Hmm.. Anyone who entered my house unarmed at the moment would be in bad shape. I have within easy reach:

-Ashtray
-4 computer monitors
-5 chairs
-2 5-pound speakers
-Metal frame bookcase
-A few beer bottles
-Fork
-Metal-band watch. Putting it around your fist and punching w/ the glass crystal facing outward could do some damage.
-Bottle of rubbing alcohol to throw in eyes/open wounds

If those didn't do they trick, they'd at least buy me some time to grab my semiautomatic shotgun.

irseg,

I'd say the shotgun should do the trick!

whocarz · 06-23-2004, 09:09 AM

I have a MAK90 (chinese sporter ak) with a 75 round drum next to my bed for anyone stupid enough to break in.

i like to think when im skatin around in the city my skateboard is a nice lil weapon i know my best friend was put in a coma because he got hit a few times with one in the head... really anything that is in reach is a weapon only fight i was in kid charged me and i just kicked him one right in the chest needless to say he stopped rather quickly

People tend to think they are badasses because they can think of all these wonderful things they could do to an attacker. All that goes out the window the first time you feel four fingers across your jaw.

Keys, in a hand-to-hand situation. I've got big hands and a big key ring, and I've rehearsed what I might do if the need ever arose.

I walk around at night in an urban area, and on those rare occasions when life on the street seems a little edgy I'll unobstrusively back a four-battery steel flashlight.

If somebody ever comes at me at home, I'll just throw the cat at them -- half Siamese, half Burmese. Be interesting to see if the intruder had a face left.

whocarz · 08-05-2004, 01:35 AM

I had two friends get into a fight once, and one used his keys to punch the other in the face. All this did was piss him off. Now they were both similar height, and the one with the keys was about 15-20 pounds lighter than the other. Well, they fought for a few moments, but key boy got pinned to the ground, and would have been beaten to a pulp if the neighbors hadn't broken it up. So really, keys will not help you in a fight, but they will leave nasty looking cuts.

I'd also suggest that throwing your cat at an intruder, if it's even within reach, should be a diversion while you grab a real weapon. Pissed off cat or no, it wouldn't be too difficult to knock it off/aside and keep pressing the attack. But it could buy you time.

How about toothpicks. Get a box of 250 for $2 at the local store. Sharp and easy to stick people with. I would also use the long, 8ft incadendescent light bulbs.

Hmm.. Frying pans are always nice as weapons, lol.
Keys can be nice self defense weapons too.

Good call Ruprex, the pen is a great thing to carry whereever, problem is that most people would't be able to stab someone. Lets hope we take the same flight. Keys work well to slash, belts work, especially with larger belt buckles (hey... this ain't a fashion thread!!) Even a hardcover book hurts like hell. You are limited only by imagination!!
