Magazine as a weapon
Jun 13th, 2005 at 8:40am
 
I saw the movie "Bourne Supremacy" the other night.  In one of the scenes, the main character was unarmed and had to fight a guy holding a knife.  He grabed a magazine, rolled it up tight and used it as a weapon. 

I haven't thought much about it until a strayed dog approached me yesturday.  I had nothing but a comic book in my hands.  The scene of the movie somehow flashed in my mind and I rolled the comic book up.  The dog must knew I was up to something cause it just dashed off.  I tried stabbing the rolled up comic at a wall and to my suprise it was much stronger than I thought. 

Have anyone had any experience fighting with rolled up paper?  It can actually do a lot of damage.

If you roll it stupidly tight, and then hold it in your fist with just two inches protrudding, its a deadly weapon, as any boy at my school could have told you. It will smash the thin wood of a cheap school desk, I know that much. I shouldn't call it cheap, I had to pay for that desk..............

There have been reports of inmates using rolled up magazines, match heads, and broken glass as crude prison made shotguns.

I knew a guy who went to prison once, and I was talking to him one day, and he told me how to make a newspaper into a weapon. He said the trick was to roll it tightly enough into a cone, and then hold the large end in your hand, and stab the pointy end into the other guy's chin,(into the space between the mandibular halves.) Quite frankly, the fact that he knew that (he was a perfectly normal sort of guy before he did time, aside from the little stunt of trying to kill his dad with a fork) was sort of scary, but I guess you have to learn how to survive in there as well as anywhere else.

if i had the paper i would of made a blow gun. but no time for that if a stray is attacking you. I think my dog makes fun of other dogs so that they like to attack his dumb ass. Only thing is he is big and strong but he is very old and a chicken poopy. And he doesnt seem to know that he is ether.

back to topic alot of strays like to attack my dumb dog so i ether load up the sling with gravel and throw some at the dog if its far away. if he is closer i just throw gravel at it by hand. they usaly run from that. If its a bigger dog and is very close i try my best to kick them under the jaw before they can bite me or my dog.

Some ones pittbull got lose and tryed attacking me and my dog. I threw gravel at it as it was running at top speed at me and it did not flinch. Once it got close enough i did my best to hope over to the left of the charging pit bull and kicked it as hard as i could right under the jaw. It yelped fell down and then ran back twords the guy who had owned it and was staring at this whole scene with what looked like amusement. He wasent happy that i kicked his dog, and he was lucky I did not kick him as well for not holding on to his dog and then not trying to catch him when he did get away.

You know, it was actually because of a former neighbour's dumb dog that I actually took up the sling. The neighbour's dog, long story short, seemed to be incapable of going to the bathroom anywhere else but on our front lawn. So, I went out to Wal-mart and bought a small pellet gun, and some pellets, but when I got home, I looked at the pellets and realised that they were lead, and would probably really do some damage to the dog if they caused lead poisoning. So, I looked around for alternative means of chasing dogs off and heard about someone (most likely DTB) that used a sling to sling at neighbourhood dogs on his property. I thought, you know, I haven't made a sling yet! However, by the time I made my first sling, one of my parents had already spoken to the neighbours about their dog, and we were getting ready to move, so the defence against the dog was put off. Why it didn't really occur to me to talk to the people about their dog, I don't know. But I'm glad I got into slinging!

When I used to teach womens self defence classes I covered the rolled up mag as a weapon. It's pretty simple, roll it tight and use it as a thrusting weapon. You then aim for the throat or under the chin like someone else said. It's better than nothing.

Other weapons of opportunity we covered as well, If can remember them all they were, car keys held in the fist and protruding between your fingers. That was to rake the eyes. Your purse, a high heeled shoe (aim for the eye!) a rock, a bottle, an umbrella, a strap or rope.
I think there might have been more but they're not coming to me.

i think that if i was female and a male attacker came at me, if i had time i would pull up my shirt to stun the guy, then i would kick him so hard between the leggs that he would not be abel to walk for days. Then the bayonet i keep consield in my purse (if i was a girl that is Smiley) would come into play.

We raised a crow once. It like to scare the news paper boy. My mother told the boy to hit it with the newspaper he would always have in his hand, (folding them between houses.) He only had to do it once. From that moment on the crow new that people are dangerous. He still tried to steal the knitted cap of the bread delivery man.  I do not remember if he ever succeeded in stealing it or how the man did teach him not to do steal it. (They both liked the little game.)

You've really put some thought into this one over the years, haven't you Douglas?

If you were a girl, I bet your face would stun the rapist Doug, no need to start flashing the poor guy!

I taught my younger sister how to defend herself if someone every tried to grab her from behind. Sort of like what sandra bullock did in Ms. Congeniality she yells out "SING! STOMACH INSTEP NOSE GROIN!" and hits me (or tries to, I've learned how to block VERY well)in each of the named areas. I'm willing to bet that if I could every get her in martial arts, she'd be beating me up in a couple weeks.

Woah.  Don't you live in Cambridge or thereabouts?  I thought that was a pretty respectable place.  It's much more orderly around here; in Winchester, only the soldiers at the barracks are a problem, getting pissed and shouting and taking up space in bars.  In fact, one of those fly-on-the-wall documentaries about soldiers was filmed in Winchester.
