Surprise! It's a weapon!

[PsychicWarVeteran]

It is reported that 50% of people in London are worried about security and sleep with some form of self-defence to hand, for use against intruders.

We've all seen canes that become swords and ball-point pens that fire bullets, but a table that doubles as a truncheon and buckler? That's a new one!

Anyone else got an example of a well-disguised weapon?

I've got a fantastic Sabatier kitchen knife collection that doubles as a lacerative/ puncturing weapon system, especially for an octopus! :D

Still don't think it would be too easy to carry down the street.

A tightly rolled Guardian used to give me at least some sense of security.

That's a good one! hehe :D you would need to be a light sleeper though for that to be effective. It makes me wonder how fast someone could take that apart and be ready for combat after waking from a deep sleep. :lol:


hmm, other examples? well, there are always those blades that are concealed behind belt-buckles and knives that look like pens. ;)

those cane swords and umbrella swords seem to be the most common. I think the F.B.I. confiscated a gun made to look like a pack of cigarettes once, it was on the history channel,haha.

Not only does PWV's combo-club/ buckler have offensive-defensive potential, there's also a nice white frisbee included so that, if your diplomatic skills and empathy are up to speed, you can engage your assialant/ intruder in light banter and propose a fun half-hour out on the lawn:

"Who's there?"
>Smack!<
"Aaargh!"
"Drop it, Muh Fuh!"
"Gaah!"
"Oof!"
"Fuggin Bastid!"
"Put the gun down! Aarhh!!"
>Doof!<
"Hey, this is silly. How about frisbee?"
"OK"
"Hey! This is fun!"
"Better than drug-crazed aggravated burglary and assault, eh?"
"I'll say! Here, catch!"
The End

Presumably the table could be modified to form a runestaff/chaos shield combo, but the room in which it was kept would have to have matching decor. So as not to arouse suspicion...

I think if they installed them in a lot of pubs, closing time could be a lot more entertaining.

Yes. Practical, but ugly. You'd have to cover it with some sort of antimacassar. Possibly, a paisley patterned tablecloth, made from Kevlarâ„¢. It could double as a bullet proof poncho.

:lol: Quite right. Though no one would want to use the bucklers on account of all the chewing gum and other nasty things stuck to the underside.

Bludgeon, shield, and bullet-proof poncho = instant super-hero.

It would be a bad idea to play tabletop games on this, with someone who is a sore loser.
