Nunchuks when handled by anyone who isn't Bruce Lee.
At that point they become weapons of mass destruction.
From a pragmatic point of view it's swords, they aren't easily concealed, they aren't very effective and unless the distance to target is tiny they put their wielder at a massive disadvantage. Especially in the age of the gun.

Yeah but in all fairness you could give Bruce Lee a spork and a half eaten carton of Yogurt and he could kill 20 people within a minute using only them...
They aren't meant to kill people. They are meant to injure or incapacitate. They can kill if poison is applied to the weapon itself. Think of them being similar to caltrops.Squedee said:
Haha, I love it.needausername said:
I think the fact remains that solid wood nunchaku will put some serious damage on another human being, possibly even kill.Grimm91 said:
The main reason why people find them hard to use is because everyone starts of swinging. You need to start off easy, preferably with some foam practice ones, then move onto the real, heavier ones.
On topic...oh I don't know. Let's say tri-section staff? Someone want to show me a video of it being used properly? Then I'll change my stance on that.
That's with him taking a 20 second break to eat that carton of Yogurt out of pure boredom too.needausername said:
Well it's believed it was older than that, and originally used to thresh rice, but there's no real evidence to back that up.JWAN said:
Actually, tonfas rule. They're fast, versatile, relatively easily-concealed, and rather deadly. Just poke really hard with the short end. It'll collapse a diaphragm easily. Or, whip the long end around like a whip to the neck for a crosscut-like attack. And crosscuts are deadly. Also, Bruce Lee could kill using a child's happy thoughts.slevin8989 said:
Try 17th century. Nunchaku are hard to master but are also difficult to block making them very effective MARTIAL weapons. Guns don't even come into play here people. As for shuriken, those are not intended to harm as much as they are to distract. I would say Sai are the most useless. They are great for disarming bladed weapons but are not effective against other weapons and not good for attacking.JWAN said:
I'll add the chinese rope dart, just to mix things up a bit.
But then again in the hands of a master it could probably kill just about anyone, and just like every weapon it takes years to learn properly.

I have to go with nunchucks. They hurt the user if used improperly. They're not even that effective if the user is an expert. Hell, if Deadliest Warrior is to be believed, an ordinary guy with a baseball bat could beat an expert with nunchucks.
