/k/ - Weapons

You should test it on a refugee.

>implying he isn't a refugee himself

silly anon

well its whole job is to cut through flesh, so once you get it to someone it should work fine, and has all the upsides of a tool (normal to have, readily available, cheap)

what it has over the machete is the ability to be concealed and used in extremely tight spaces

does it fly decently when thrown? that could be a bonus

>well its whole job is to cut through flesh

But it's not, it's actually pretty shit for cutting flesh. Other knives are used to cut away at the meat and then a cleaver is used to chop the bone.

Point at the head then

it is lol.

but in hotline miami 2 there is this one level song called "sexualizer" and it originally had moaning sounds in it but they edited it out, so bashing peoples heads in with a baseball bat is an OK but moaning sounds? thats too far goy

It's a makeshift weapon, Hans. It's shit, but better than nothing.

Everyone ITT is wrong. If you see someone on the street with a cleaver, run. 100% chance he has killed tougher people than you.

Apply 'lightsaber logic'

>Person approaches wielding weird/stupid weapon

>Person with weird/stupid weapon is either insane or amazing with that retarded weapon.

>If he was that insane he would either have killed himself with the stupid weapon or would have been beaten by people with less stupid weapons.

>Therefore it stands to reason that he's incredibly good with that retarded weapon, and that you should be worried.

>In the length of time it's taken you to think through this conclusion your window to run has vanished and you should resign yourself to going down swinging.

On a more serious note have we considered mounting the cleaver on a pole?

Exactly, it would be a relatively shitty - Jerry rigged - Bardiche. Not as good as an actual bardiche, but better than the retard who's waving a cleaver around in his hands.

It's not particularly weird or stupid. You have to keep in mind that good quality mass produced knives didn't exist about 10-15 years ago. You had quality pocketknives, and cheap shitty rambo knives or switchblades (which street punks liked to use.) Anybody serious about killing with a blade had 3 options - a legitimate combat knife (impossible to explain away having one of these on your belt), A straight razor (flimsy, require finesse, only good for killing people who don't see it coming), or - a meat cleaver in a cardboard sheath. You can always say you're a butcher on his way to work, as it's primarily a tool (however, it's a tool designed for separating flesh and bone, handily enough.)

Nowadays, you might be facing a hotline larper, but even so - do you want to take a cleaver to the hand or arm (which is all but unavoidable in a 'knife fight')? You will lose fingers or nerves.

This'd be a lot simpler, if he had a rifle, or at least a handgun. Lot less filth all over the place, too.

There are only two good bladed weapon types: stilettos and sabres. Technically stilletos don't have a blade but whatever. These two are peak optimized to kill, stiletto with a thrust and sabre with a slash. All other weapons are a compromise between those in one or many ways. A knife is a shittier stiletto with a shitty near-useless blade. A straight sword is a sabre with a shitty near-useless thrusting point. Some would say that in a hand to hand combat you want options, but you really don't. What you want is a mastery of one specific weapon to perfection. Both thrusting and slashing are equally good at killing people, and both can (or cannot) be stopped with the same armor. Being more skilled with your weapon is, by a wide margin, a better option than being able to both slash and thrust but having your weapon being sub-optimal at both and not having as much skill to apply it.

So, stiletto on the rifle, and sabre at the side, then? Sounds good to me!

>>552706

Get a jian. It will be a meme.

Stop shitposting.

Its a sharp heavy chunk of metal. I reckon itd be the equivalent of a hatchet. That cop in bongistan sure found out how good a weapon they make.
