Gulp.

I know that I said I would give my left nut for a FN 5.7 but I was not serious

The problem with them is that they are only 8" when sheathed/retracted. You tend to forget about their physical presence and stab yersel in the kidneys getting in and out of vehicles.

Happens all the time.

It's a man's life, being in prison.

So have you had to deal with a prisoner who's all "Bronzed" up?

The telescope stick you posted - we call them Viper over here - is nice to have it with you, but is relatively heavy and not as versatile as a solid stick of same length. It's hidden in some box of mine and collects dust. You also better don't use it in a fast moving, rotating, handswitching way like you eventually would use to do with a solid stick to confuse your opponent - Vipers tend to fold in in the most unwelcomed moment.

A simple blocking action eventually may be enough to make the three segments fall together, so this is nothing to be used against a prepared and maybe even armed opponent. an opponent with a soldi stick himself would be even worse.

No matter what, combat sticks need a lot of training. But if you excel in it, they are a devastating weapon in close range combat, and very versatile. My mentor used to call the three tips of a Tonfa the "three degrees of freedom"

If you really want overkill capacity in close range combat, train to competently handle Nunchakoos. I sucked with them, and gave it up soon, they are not for me. Definitely even less suited for the casual user

Already own plenty of them. If they flew out of Bombay here and wanted to come to my house and try to do that they will get theirs shot off.

Of course! Sterilisation! The obvious answer to an infestation of bandits!

Sterilization! So that people there give less babies and makes the whole country wealthier. In that way, nobody will go and become a bandit!
