I just took a walk outside. In less than a 40' x 60' space, i counted over 3000+ things i could use as a weapon (improvised, direct or otherwise)
we better ban plants with flexible stalks and fibers, we would'nt want someone to strangle someone with it.
better ban socks too. I could fill one with pebbles or small rocks and cosh ya with it.
better ban trees and shrubs. I can make a thumping stick with a tree limb, or a spiky flail with certain shrubs.
better ban sand. I could throw it in your eye!
That is the truth. A while back I started a thread in the Outdoor section about weapons that came from other items. Consensus, already knew it, was it is the person that is the weapon and everything else is a tool.
