>How the fuck arent americlaps

They are.

Government figures and judges routinely end up in rivers or with a bulldozer in their office, spics are in a war with skinheads and white trash over meth territories, and niggers are killing and aborting each other so fast that even though they have 5 kids their population isnt growing that fast.

Its not quite equilibrium but hell of a lot better than Europe which went from top 10 HDI to africa tier in 25 years.

I stopped beliebering in global warming when average temperatures on mars and pluto rose by the same levels as on earth.

>>669800

if you wanted to buy a hammer specifically to knock niggers, which weight would you choose for your hammer?

>>674403

If you're a man of average build I'd suggest not exceeding 1 pound so you can throw fast follow up swings

>it's getting colder

I'm not aware of the global statistics, but on a local level our summers have been getting hotter and our winters have been getting real weird - like it's 13 degrees today then it's -10 tomorrow. Then we have snowfall in Spring and 20+ degree heat mid November.

If you actually look at what scientists are saying, it's that man-made climate change would result in more extreme and erratic weather patterns, not strictly just make the planet hotter. From my anecdotal experience, that lines up, and from some of the more bizarre weather around the world this makes sense.

With that said, you can't really assume that 7 billion people pumping gas and debris into the atmosphere is going to have no effect on the environment, at least not on a local level. It'd be sort of like saying "cars don't cause air pollution", blind denial of reality.

>>674437

the poleaxe should be easier to conceal, go with that.

also you can throw it if you ever need to use it as ranged weapon.

some would argue that the nugget can be thrown too but I doubt it's as deadly.

>>672844

You just have to convince the cops that this entire thing is bullshit, which looking at their faces, shouldn't be be too hard. We have it all the time, state sheriffs have even arrested federal agents from time to time.

nice hitachi you got there mate

>>675300

are they selling sex toys now??

>>675315

I'm both impressed and sad at what you've done that chuck.

>>675321

I thought they always did? I'm sure coldsteelfag shoved everything he owned up his ass.

>600 g

>600gr

>600gr = ~1.4 oz

What did he mean by this?

>>676623

600 grams.

g is the abbreviation for gram.

gr is the abbreviation for grain.

>>676642

gr is also abbreviation for "grosz" in Polish (our version of cents). 600gr = 6zł = circa 2$. Pretty cheap hammer.

>>676642

yes I didn't check the pic w/e fuck you for making me a meme

Refined taste nigger knocker. Guaranteed to blow their mind.

>>687181

Look up "Tire thumper", you want a tool that just so happens to wreck bitches, not a weapon that just so happens to be undeniably a weapon intended for use on humans.

While on the subject: can any strelok explain what the fuck is up the mace in this video @5:10? It raises my dander everytime I see the fucking thing flex like the handle is made out of fiberglass. Is this a boffer weapon or some shit for HEMA?

Honestly, I know next to nothing about this dude's livelyhood with his youtube bucks, but he seems queer, in the literal gay sense. Lots of larping shit, and all his and his buddies strikes seem like pulled, and weak, like they're only winding up the strikes, and letting gravity and momentum do the rest. They also seem to love using strikes aren't ergonomic or allow for much force. How legit is this guy?

Would a metal baseball bat suffice?

>>687195

Have you ever heard of barrel harmonics? Metals are elastic materials and elastic materials flex and vibrate under force. Try smacking a solid rod against a tree and see if you can do it without the rod wobbling out of your hand. Even if you can hold on, with repeated strikes you'll start to feel joint fatigue from the stress of keeping the object still. Also, flesh is squishy and your grip isn't a static position and anything that you're holding no matter how tightly can wiggle and tilt.

Why are you asking questions about martial weapons when you clearly don't understand them, and don't even know the reason why people wear heavy gloves in melee combat?

>>687203

While I appreciate your attempt at enlightning me, you're attitude, and misunderstanding of the question here leaves me to wonder just how much you really understand what you're talking about. The question here is: why is the handle of a hammer made of a softer material than that of the armor and ballistics gel it's hitting? This isn't the archer's paradox we're talking about here, that fucking hammer shouldn't be giving nearly as much as it is. It should be overpowering the armor, and therefore transfering all the kintetic energy into it, not back through the rod and into the wielder. This is the same shit that always pissed me off with fiberglass working handles on tools: you're never supposed to lose the energy transfer war, so there should never be a risk of your tool handle being damaged when striking whatever surface it's striking. I've only ever had my sledgehammers fail at the handle when the handle has been repeatedly struck upon an object instead of the head of the tool. Likewise, the welded sledgehammer we have at work I guaran-fucking-tee shows zero kinetic absorption upon striking. This mace was built poorly, or was intentionally engineered to soften upon impact. The question still stands: is this intentional, or just shitty craftsmanship?

>>687214

It isn't a softer metal, you idiot, it's flexing because it's leverage being applied over a great distance from the fulcrum. Everything metal does this. Metals are not perfectly rigid solid objects, they have a molecular bond structure which is capable of compressing and deforming. Grab any tool in your position and put pressure on it and I guarantee you can bend it without causing any damage or change in its shape. You're also pretending momentum doesn't exist and that force doesn't reciprocate during any interaction between two objects. If a steel rod being smacked against something isn't supposed to flex, then in order for your logic to be internally consistent, bullets should never deform because they're not supposed to give. The handle of the mace doesn't even move that much, it's bending far less than something of greater length or with a heavier end would, and that's without even mentioning how much a sword bends and deflects during a straight strike against an unarmoured target. This is real life where physics matters, not fucking Source Film Maker.

>>687217

You're not secretely the leaf using his VPN to try and trick me into thinking I can explain it this to you in a way that you'll understand, are you? If you can verify you're actually a US citizen not still in gradeschool, I'll break this down and waste my time. Otherwise, I'm not playing this game again.

>>687241

You've spent the entire time arguing the wrong points, and then using comparisons that are patently wrong. Then you go on to imply your grade school knowledge of how metalurgy works somehow makes you superior to anyone who has basic understanding of how tools are crafted.

Sure, by all means tell me where I should go. I totally said nothing when I explained to you how a tool is designed to overpower kintetic forces at work, and to not yield in this process. Is there kintetic energy still delivered back towards the user? Sure, but trust me, it's negligible, not at all as bad as the shit that happens past the flail portion of the video. That mace was crafted to either be soft on the target, or was designed poorly. I don't fucking care if you want to argue how a bullet that's usually specifically designed to expand inside a target shouldn't (hardcast lead, anyone?) or how microns of flex are bound to happen because of the properties of metal (again, you shouldn't see THIS MUCH FLEX in a fucking mace handle: it's not designed to absorb shock from the wielder typically) or how a sword which is specifically designed with three separate portions of steel (tang and base of sword being the hardest, then a milder form of steel in the middle of the blade, and a softer steel at near the tip to give it that spring you commented on) because surprise surprise: a fucking sword isn't a goddamn mace in use. You don't want an arming sword to be super hard, you'll break it on contact with armor, because the blade is too thin and long to support that rigid of a structure when receiving that much kinetic energy on something that hard.

Keep in mind, I was more than happy to have a reasonable discussion about this mace's properties, but you had to come in tard it up with your half cocked "I googled some random information about metal, and now I'm a fucking expert on the subject". My pulaski doesn't fucking yield to the dirt it hits, it doesnt yield to the roots I chop. My scythe doesn't bend to the grass and wheat I cut, my hammer doesn't bend to the nail I hit…they overpower their obstacles, and then ever so slightly transfer some energy back to me. This isn't visible by a fucking go pro, and it's certainly doesn't look like a launched arrow.

>>687244

In fact, I'm willing to bet good money I could do more damage to that helmet with a hammer than these fags did, and without their sponge mace.

>>687244

I'm going to take a picture of myself tomorrow flexing the Estwing framing hammer I've used for over a decade just to show you how much of a brainless nigger you are. Again, paragraph spam is not an argument. You're embarrassing yourself.

>>687248

And I'm gonna take a picture of my estwing hammer I've owned for 20 years now not flexing on the front focal point, because that's where it's designed to fucking impact, you goddamn tard.

You literally have nothing to support your retardation.

It's mild, untempered steel for the mace shaft. It's a historical reproduction, so they didn't harden it because that wasn't a thing back in antiquity. The shaft is also hollow and already bent as mentioned in a previous video, so it's gonna have even more flex than normal.

>>670570

Adore the nails in-

what's with the cuts in the machete?

>>670134

You're over thinking it, nigger, we're talking about fucking sticks with a weight on top, not aeronautics.

all i know is pic related is very overrated. I literally snapped mine over a jogger's dome when i was a gas station security guard. pepper spray is effective but unreliable unless you get a direct eye spray

What do you do with it? Throw it? Stab with it? I don't get it.
