Weapon of Choice

[xtremetris]

So lets say someone is coming at you with a knife, these weapons listed below are the only ones available for you to use, which one would you pick to defend yourself?

1. MLB Wooden Bat
2. Crowbar
3. Rebar (I choose this)
4. Wrench
5. 2x4
6. Shovel
7. Lead Pipe
8. Golf Club

Bat, for a variety of reasons. Hopefully I would just pull my .380 out of my pocket, but if not, something well balanced and able to generate speed and velocity.

[Firehawk]

I like the lead pipe option.

True story.

I remember in high school we were at a party and some trouble broke out. One of my buddies was part of it. One thing led to another and eventually these Asian guys started to do the kung fu thing and whipped out a pair of nunchucks (spelling?). They started flinging them with some authority like Bruce Lee (this was the Bruce Lee dynasty era). My buddy who was carrying some alcohol in his belly was not impressed. He opened the trunk to his 1964 Chevy and whipped out a MLB baseball bat and started his routine along with a series of "come on" over and over. At that moment, everything calmed down and nothing happened.

I'll take the MLB bat.

I hope old Andy Rosales is still alive.

yep bat, I have one under the bed in case of intruders.

[bodyshop20]

My fu--kin legs one in front of the other fast as poss (runaway)
Id be like a ethiopian chasing a luncheon voucher lol.
As a blk belt id quickly put my shirt around my arm to stop the cut of the blade and wipe his legs out with a floor sweep to the ankles as he approached.
But i love the bat idea

[The Flash]

I'd go with the bat over the lead pipe because a) it allows you to keep your distance and b) it's a more natural swing and you can pretend you're swinging for the fences!

This is my most favouritest thread ever...

Crowbar... Easy... I love the momentum...

I prefer my G3 tho...

I could tell you over a hundred storys where some sh*t talking drunk pretends he wants to fight, the thing is they would all sound like the same stupid ass story.

I would go the MLB bat for the same reasons noted by others in this thread, but more realisticly I would run away if givin the oportunity because getting in a fight with a bat is just plain stupid..

I guess you could say I want to live out my days without brain damage, or perhaps I am just a wuss..

a 9iron (golf club) IMO is longer and that iron on the end with split a skull much faster, I'd be more afraid of the golf club.


those asian guys really didn't want to fight, your old buddy just tested them (maybe bluffed them??) it's like the animal kingdom, they bluffed, then your old buddy bluffed (or maybe he would "back it up")?
I know two guys who took baseball bats to the heads and just kept going.

[luke.w]

what funny about these 2-guys (that I was talking) is they both had a "I don't care attitude" towards fighting, one of them was not a "tough guy" type, he more like a "funny" guy (not a class clown, but a real jokster but very radical), the other guy beacame a "tough guy" in his mid-teens.

Both of these guys have walked up to a "gang" with bats and "took it to them" the party guy in his past has-
fell through a roof of AMES
been run over by a car (I mean he was horseing around under a car in a lot and the guy didn't know he was under there, crushed his collar bone, he even had a case on his leg at the time)
those are just two examples!!!

well the "tough guy" first ever fight was the party guys freinds brother, he beat the crap outta him, so "party" guy jumped in and hit him, the "tough guy" said "your crazy, I see it in your eyes, I want NOTHING to do with YOU"

the "tough guy" was getting into 3 on 1 fights weekly after that, it was nuts.

both these guys now have families and seem to live a better life, although I've heard of "tough guy" getting into some bar battles a couple years ago

funny stuff really.

The best option is to leave if at all possible. There is no rule that says you have to stand and fight. I believe it was Funakoshi that said, 'if you find yourself in an altercation, you need more training.'

Please don't be a wannabebadass, it's unbecoming. I'm a guy who really can fight, really doesn't lose, and really carries a pistol which I really can use to fight my way to a shotgun. The shotgun is to be used to fight my way to a rifle...yet my first option, and best option, and preferred option is to simply LEAVE THE SITUATION.

I agree, and better yet, aviod being around those situations to begin with.
