[Lucky Luciano]

I carry a switchblade just in case a bunch of guys decide to get cute, but I haven't had to use it (I would never pull it out during a one-on-one fight unless the guy also had a weapon). If I really got to the point where I seriously needed a weapon I'd probably get a gun, but even then a simple revolver would do fine. People make the mistake of thinking you need a Desert Eagle or whatever, but honestly what's the point in making a guy's head explode? Anyway, my favorite weapon is the blackjack. It's hard to find these beautiful works of art on the West Coast. These won't make a guy's head explode, just split open like an egg.

Another variant of the blackjack. This kind is also called a sap or a slapper, though all blackjacks can also be called saps. Notice how the end half is portruding. That's a lead weight under there. The flexible leather handle makes it sort of like a cross between a billy club and a whip, and more dangerous than both.

[Lucky Luciano]

Some blackjacks even have coil springs in their handles, adding an even deadlier touch to this already lethal weapon.

I would have to say hands down my .40 caliber Taurus handgun. I love it because it is small and compact but it has enough power to put holes in people 10 to be exact 9 + 1 in the chamber.

Generally speaking, when it comes to real life (as opposed to playing video games and stuff like that), I'm not really into violent weapons (such as guns, which, as a category, I'd probably pick as the most convenient or efficient weapon when it comes to physical attack without hurting yourself in the process), because I almost never use them (at least not as weapons), and wouldn't unless it were to protect me from harm or extract revenge on someone (things I very rarely have to do and don't enjoy doing), so my favorite weapon is my mind, which I do find myself using often as a weapon and enjoy using often as a weapon (for example, to slaughter idiot people in Debate).

By the way, Lucky Luciano, you said you would never pull out your switch-blade in a one-on-one fight unless the other guy also had a weapon (other than his physical body), but do you really mean that?

Let's say you're walking down the street and some guy you can't beat in a one-on-one fight attacks you for no reason.

You're telling me you'd just get your ass kicked (or killed) instead of using the weapon on him?

If so, that's retarded.

Shit.

When I was in my teens....We used to get really creative. We used to use bolts and nuts as fist packs. We would go to the hardware store and get these huge lug nuts. We had this bullseye we drew on a tree in my back yard and we would practice throwing it everyday. I could hit a cat in a tree from a mile away.

In a street fight we would use anything that was around. We would wear gloves over our hands so our hands didn't swell.

Knives were real big when I was in my teens. I remember there was this Chicano gang on the westside called the inca's. One day they stole my jacket. A leather jacket actually. I was so furious I drove down there right in they're front yard, slammed on my brakes and got out. I didn't even think about what that other Vato was packing. I ran out the car and hit that fool right in his face.

I did notice that this vato had his hands behind his back when I ran up on him. I later found out he was wearing brass knuckles. Anyway, when he hit me with those knuckles I was knocked the fuck out. My homeboy seen me on the ground and got out the ride and they ended up stabbing him. Stabbing when I was growing up wasn't as bad as it is now. Motherfuckers be gettin shanked nowadays and dying. Back then if you got shanked, it wouldn't be to deep, or it wouldn't be straight through your guts.

I quit going to house parties because these young 17 - 18 year old mother fuckers be shooting the whole shit up. We were stupid chicanos but these young fools are straight tontos. I hate guns. Most of all I hate a little skinny motherfucker who finally gets a gun and thinks he's all bad. FUCK THAT.

Enough.

Honestly, I never really thought about that because I've never met someone who's that big and/or tough, where I'd consider pulling out a weapon without him pulling one or without people ganging up on me. I would probably use cheaper fighting tactics if he was, but not necessarily a weapon in most circumstances (maybe some).

It sounds like you're equating a person's fighting ability with their looks (ie: size), which could prove to be a fatal mistake.


When I gave you that hypothetical situation, I was actually thinking more of a normal-sized person (or a skinny person, about my size) who's well-trained in Tae Kwon Do or Jujitsu or something like that.

On a side-note, I only ask because I've recently gotten into those sorts of alternative fighting techniques myself, strictly for purposes of self-defense. Living in Detroit, you can never have too much of that.

You're right about that, I've been in fights with a few guys where I think "he won't be a problem" and he was actually a lot harder to fight because he was so swift and agile (not to mention experienced). Plus, with big guys, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. So it all depends.

In Real life?

My Knumb Chucks and my Pocket Kinfe

I can carry my Pocket Knife any where so i do feel alot safe

[Smashman]

You ain't gon' do shit with a pocket knife lol

I don't carry any kind of weapon around, back in school I just used to hit someone in the face with stones or shit around...I never start fights tho! In my future: I'd like me a Desert Eagle, I love guns.

[Lucky Luciano]

A Desert Eagle is good if you want to snipe somebody (although you'd need a silencer to stop the loud ass noise) because it's very accurate at distances but with its extreme recoil it is not a good personal protection weapon.

Id rather have a glock...any caliber...

Me too. I'd probably pick a .357

In my old neighborhood we just used what was around(sticks, rocks,bricks)

I remember gettin hit in the jaw with a rock at the park and I chased dude around the neighborhood with a brick.

But me and my 2 friends that always chilled, we were out oneday and my brothers ball got stole. So we was like "give that shit here Ta-quan" and he bassically denied taking it so his brothers face got split open with a cement block.
