[MA/HT] Innocuous Improvised Weapons

DangerousThing · 03-21-2020, 06:29 PM

Maglight flashlights used to be very popular around here. I own two of the six-cell kinds. It's metal, and can be easily used as a club. I wouldn't want to parry a real sword with it, but otherwise it should be fine. I even have aftermarket ends on the back designed to break though a car window if necessary. In a book I'm writing, the main character is using one when he's walking some girls home from a party. Though he hands it to somebody else before the danger starts.

Not what you want, Icelander, but a bunch of coins in a leather coinpurse makes a nice fist load or sap.
