Imagine, if you will. That you're in a non-permissive environment. You're unarmed and you find yourself in a bad area. What are you arming yourself with and why?
|
|
Probably either a bike lock. Or a hammer of some sort.
Possibly a very well concealed Steyr M-9 depending on how non-permissive ze environment is. |
|
|
a decent sized bottle you could break makes a good cutting weapon
biker bludgeon : a lock with a bandanna wrapped through it a belt with a hefty buckle any stout piece of wood or piping |
|
Kitchen knife? If that’s not an option. Screwdriver, wrench, hammer…plenty of weapons in a tool box
|
|
|
Visine bottles filled with gasoline and a zippo lighter. Fuck those vampires

After pretty much my whole life I’m various construction trades I’m picking my trusty 22oz straight claw or maybe a half hatchet
I’m the office I’ve got a couple heavy metal tri-sided rulers, golf clubs, or a huge whitetail shed sett that could probably mess somebody up |

This is arfcom.
"I keep an inch and a half guardrail nut on a loop of 550 cord. It's not whiz-bang tactical, but one smack in the grape and it's coloring books for Christmas." Seriously though, you can buy a small kitchen paring knife just about anywhere. |

The improvised weapons I've seen most effective today is a massive selfish streak, a powerful sense of entitlement, and almost 9-years of woke public education.
For improvised weapons few beat fire applied correctly. |

I made some of these and they work great.
Mine has a machined plug welded in with a machined firing pin. The Mighty Pipe Shot Gun |
|
An armored wheelbarrow and debarked chihuahua are an unstoppable combination in many situations.
Add a suppressed Ruger 10/22 and you've covered the entire weapon spectrum pretty much. (ole' skol K yo') |

Need more info.
I’d drag a lifeless corpse down the street if I thought it would deter people. What sort of situation is this? Visiting family, wrong turn, business, pleasure? When/where are we improvising this weapon? Generally speaking, it would be whatever is closest to me at the time. If I’m preparing an improvised weapon on the spot odds are it’ll be a bludgeoning weapon. A shiv wouldn’t hurt to have too. Piano wire has its uses too… |

A highly modified hickory stock cane (look up fighting canes), or a leather container for my parking change that looks remarkably like a sap or blackjack.

7 foot spear. I will impale you before you get close with your hammer. Romans had that shit down.
