I should have spent today working on my comic, instead I spent most of it learning to tie an interesting little knot known as the monkey fist. As you've probably come to expect I'm now sporting two rather obvious bruises and a third hidden under my shirt because I'm not one to take things slowly, instead swinging the thing before I'd bothered to watch some demonstrations. So who else is fond of learning to make improvised weaponry? I don't care if it's spears, bowsand arrows, slingshots, monkey fists or wet tea towel whips. Tell us about some of your more inventive weaponry!

I've made dozens of home made weapons & my old sifu actually quizzed me on make shift weapons once to make sure I know them since weapons of opportunity are very important in self defence from his view point.
a bandana or any cloth/string/rope with a pad lock tied at one end
a pair of socks tucked into each other with the bottom full of pennies
a stomped on pop or beer can turned into a knife since when you stomp it it creates seems that crack & become sharp.
a pop or beer can ripped in half so you have the bottom in one hand & top in the other and it's all jagged and torn up.
many types of hard plastic can be easily broken into jagged pieces that can be used as weapons especially if you can get a big of enough piece to make a jail style shank.
just about anything in the right hands can be deadly.
I even read a ww2 hand to hand manual that talks about using a matchbox as a weapon for hitting someones corotoid with because the force is so concentrated.

Actually the humble schooner glass became a popular weapon in Australia for a short while. That wasn't fun for me or the proper bouncers. I was judging everyone and wondering if I could actually trust them with the potential weapon I was handing them. Not fun at all.

funny I learned that empty drink cans can be weapons when I was a bouncer & the cold shot cans came out that year and my boss cor a big gash on his arm from one & ever since then I was also untrustworthy of people with them after that because it could have been his throat.

Kokoro = Jason Bourne.
I've seen those monkey fists premade on countycomm.com before but I didn't know they were supposed to be weapons. I thought they were just simple paracord lanyards.
I'm not really into making improvised weapons. But I did get in trouble a few times as a kid for making shanks out of things I found around school.

Be careful disposing of Glutton Kokoro, he doesn't care for improvised weapons because his house is chockers with guns and knives.

Suddenly I have an image of the Russian attacking the Punisher on his home turf.

This is actually part of it, but another part of it is that I like the simple things in Martial Arts. If I start thinking constantly about all the different weapons I can implement, how much time can I really dedicate to getting as good as possible with all of them? I train with firearms and I train in unarmed martial arts. That's plenty for me. I don't even train to fight with knives even though I love them. I keep them around for utility.

That's pretty brutal Kokoro. That poor mutt...although at the moment I probably wouldn't be above donating my border collie. Jumps the fence and craps on my carpet so I belt him and throw him outside where he's somehow managed to get over the six foot fence and murderthe neighbour's chickens. Not happy.

This is why we only have ever-so-manly Shi-Tzus.

Shi-Tzus...they're the dogs that look like a buffer rag aren't they? I won't get them for the same reason I don't like mastiffs. They don't look like dogs.
