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.

    Yah nunchucks are basically double-sided flails. They can wrap around your opponent’s blocks, too. You lift your sword up to block a downward strike from a nunchuck, you’re still getting hit in the face.

    The self-defense spikes always look like shitty stilettos to me. I wouldn’t want to get hit in the face by one, but I’d probably laugh my ass off if someone threatened me with one. Some sufferagette time traveler pulls a foot-long stiletto out of her hair? Yah I’m about to get stabbed so I wouldn’t fuck with that.
