I gotta go with nunchuks. Anything you sling around on a chain seems silly to me. It seems like nunchuks are only good weapons against the unarmed. Anyone else has more range, usually something sharp in play and there isn’t a limp chain in the middle reducing the force of your strikes.
I think the idea of was being damn sure you’d kill one guy. Guns were bad at aim and sometimes just didn’t feel like firing back then. Having 5 meant at least something should hit whar it was meant to
This is why pirates had the right idea
Carry 8 regular guns instead
THERE WAS A FIREFIIIIIIIGHT!
