Title: Got me a Bokken
Post by: Matius on September 21, 2014, 02:30:29 pm
Looks kinda like this, only its had some of the piss taken out of it.  I did some work for a guy and he was cleaning his kid's junk out of his house, I said, whoa, that things badass, and he said, "its yours".

My questions is, how much force would I have to exert to run someone through with it?

Not happening unless you ram it into a convenient orifice.

You can REALLY fuck someone's day up with it, but it's not going through someone.

I would aim for the neck.  It might not cut through, but it'll probably provide the most entertaining point of impact.

Dude, it's a stick. It hurts like fuck, sure. Maybe it's even heavy. But it's still a stick.

Tis a fine whacking stick indeed.  I used to play around with nunchucks and tonfas and the like, the bank we all cashed our checks was right across the street from what we called, "The Ninja Store", and then further on the way home was "The Beer Store".  I don't think we ever got a single security deposit back on the three places we lived.

Actually when I wield it I notice an insatiable urge to go for the shin/knee area...

How much wood can he or she take normally?

One should always attack joints and weak spots if possible....wrists, elbow joints, knees, ankles, whatever you can hit the easiest and hardest.

I was kidding about running someone through, the thing would make a sound whacking stick, the trouble is that theres no need for superfluous whacking in my life, so I'm left with a piece of wood.
