TeakDoors weekly weapon review

**dirtydog** · 17-10-2008, 02:51 AM

Shurikens were designed to throw into the ground in the hope that the idiots following them would tread on them, they cannot be considered a weapon, a dart is more dangerous and deadly.

This weekly review thread is gonna be finished by Sunday.

Kubotans;

Now the Uk police didn't like these, i really have no idea why, they are like a 4 inch tube of alloy, ok they can be used for whacking pressure points but it is a bit dumb banning these when the original weapon is based on a piece of bamboo, fok me any piece of wood would do if you know how to use one, but in the UK they are illegal

**dirtydog** · 17-10-2008, 03:09 AM

Although I have to admit that time we got raided our kubotans had 4 needle pointed things inside, ie you unscrewed them and inside was the pointed things, no more dangerous than your evil grannies knitting needle collection though.

Beg to differ. Shuriken are usually for throwing. Testubushi or igadama are used to hinder pursuers.

"...consisting of broken dried hishi (water chestnuts) or woven iron (often barbed at the points), these would be dropped behind the ninja, and were shapes such that no matter how they fell, a spike would always be pointing upwards. The pursuer would have to slow down or else risk the tetsubushi (foot removers) digging in his foot. If the ninja had no tetsubushi, he could improvise by hurling a number of senban shuriken into the ground behind him, so that it was perpendicular to the ground. Igadama (Iga balls) were small ball-like ornaments comprising of a number of spikes or poisoned needles which could be concealed in a house without looking conspicuous but be used like tetsubushi."

And the shuriken explaination? I think I am right, they were a defensive weapon.

**dirtydog** · 17-10-2008, 03:18 AM

I hope you are wrong, because i was considered an expert in this field, ie weapons.

**Jet Gorgon** · 17-10-2008, 03:30 AM

^Ya, but I'm a Jap expert.

Here's one explanation:

"The throwing star shuriken, known as hira shuriken, or shaken, use an entirely unique criteria in flight than do the bo shuriken, as they spin at a brisk rate, and have multiple points which can stick into the target. There are different techniques for throwing the star. Dr Hatsumi, current Head Master, or 33rd soke of Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu, shows throwing the shuriken as one would throw a small Frisbee. This is the method I prefer. The blade is held parallel to the ground, between the thumb and first finger. The wrist makes a flicking action forward as the arm straightens out in front of the thrower's stomach. Several shuriken are held cupped in the left hand like a stack of coins, and are passed to the right hand in rapid succession."

Thats a modern day version, they were never used as a weapon.

**dirtydog** · 17-10-2008, 03:39 AM

And I should add that Shurikens are now illegal in the UK

**jizzybloke** · 17-10-2008, 03:45 AM

Ther's not a sodding lot that's not illigal in the UK now, nothing fun anyway!

**Jet Gorgon** · 17-10-2008, 03:46 AM

^^ OK, I'll concede a bit. Originally shuriken were not the main weapon (katana) but a side distraction. Chucked at an opponent's eyes or unshielded bits or in the ground. But today, they're made of honed stainless steel and if the thrower has the skill, they could maim or kill, no?
Same same, they are illegal in alot of places now. I still have several in the warehouse.

**dirtydog** · 17-10-2008, 03:49 AM

Katana is just the main sword, to maim or kill someone with a shuriken you got to be real lucky, aint gonna happen i reckon, unless you got a real dumb person that is

**Jet Gorgon** · 17-10-2008, 03:51 AM

^Poisoned tips.

The Chakra

Deadly throwing disc used by Sikh fighters. Thrown like a frisbee and has sharp edges to dig in and cut your opponent.

**dirtydog** · 17-10-2008, 03:53 AM

cutting doesn't kill people though turd.

**EmperorTud** · 17-10-2008, 03:55 AM

Tonfa

Upon which the modern nightstick is based. Originated in China.

**dirtydog** · 17-10-2008, 03:56 AM

p45, the UK pigs wouldn't buy them from us, cnuts.

**Jet Gorgon** · 17-10-2008, 03:56 AM

The ulimate chick weapon. If a siltetto stomp on the jerk's instep and a knee whack to the groin don't work to fend them off, then enter the Bic pen:

Point down in a fist and down jab on the jugular. Apparently the pen keeps on working after your wash the blood off.

**dirtydog** · 17-10-2008, 03:59 AM

A pen is a lethal weapon, you stab somebody in the neck with one it won't break and they will go down.

**Jet Gorgon** · 17-10-2008, 04:03 AM

^ Are they illegal in Britain, too?

**attaboy** · 17-10-2008, 04:04 AM

The expandable spring baton forms itself to the curves of a person's head.

**dirtydog** · 17-10-2008, 04:08 AM

They aint that good actualy, when your whacking down on someone they will protect themselves, using a stick and pressure points they are out of it.

**attaboy** · 17-10-2008, 04:21 AM

That's true. It's more for discouraging people from joining the union.
