Help, my friend thinks that pic related is a effective melee weapon.
Please tell him why it isn't effective

I mean, it's scary and looks like a knock-out/bone buster. It might intimidate and prevent a confrontation.
But you better not miss and incapacitate or you won't get a 2nd chance. And your aggressor will be FAR less merciful when you just attacked him with a weapon.
High risk, low to moderate reward weapon.
Say you try to use it in a fight. Then you'll need to spin it around for a few seconds to build momentum, which needs time and space to be effective. In that time, someone can tackle you and beat the living shit out of you.

Pretty you have a crack in your skull with a good hit
Ok. If you hit someone with that, you're gonna fuck them up big time.
However, if you miss, you've gotta deal with a weight flailing about while you're trying to fight someone.
A baton is better.

If you miss, you could make a lasso move and hit him again

Are you mentally handicapped? You don't have to spin it, you just swing it in an arc at what you want to hit. The problem with it is you need to practice a lot with this kinda thing to get any use out of it and not wreck yourself. It's a lot like nunchucks, looks cool but if you don't know what you are doing all you'll do is blast your nuts. Plus you could've spent that time training with a useful weapon like a gun.

needs to be a magick 8-ball, missed opportunity
this thing replaced the expandable baton in watchdogs 2
looks like a fucking anal bead

Better not tell you now.

Lets put it this way.
Your going into a no rules deathmatch pit fight.
You can go empty handed or with pic related.
What would you choose?
>>32859364
>What is the super effective move known as ducking
>>32859364
You might get one good hit in, but if you fuck up, there won't be a second chance. Whoever you're fighting will be way to close to swing that around.
Is your friend an old timey sailor chasing the big fish?

It will not stop a determined attacker that is intent on hurting or killing you
A few hollowpoints will.
>>32859364
Low weight, hard object, and the chain means you have to spin it up to use it effectively. Going to surely hurt, but not maim well or hit as hard as other options like a machete or bat.
Now a god damned flail, that's heavy hitting, single swing metal ball with spikes having, deus vult inducing, skull cracking, excellent melee weapon.

It needs practice and by that I mean alot of practice.
To avoid being vulnerable after a missed swing (or even a successful one that doesnt stop them) you have to engage Footwork.
There's nothing wrong with taking a step back or even spinning with the ball while also taking a step.
If you missed, you're ready to defend yourself by the time the other guy is ready to lunge, and you've also added distance that he has to cross so its not like he can just tackle you.
And if you have practiced this well enough he leaves himself open to be hit easier if he does attack.
My power level is 9001 as indicated and checked by a former 4chan post, I know how to engage multiple people and win.

As always you gotta combine attacks/defenses.
Thats like if you get the chance to slap somebody's gun out of their hand, all the action is gonna be focused on that gun.
But its also a great fucking oppoertunity to start choking the shit out of them and crushing their windpipe, and gouging their eyes out, biting and so on. Because they think you're gonna try to get the gun pointed at em to pull the trigger.
Meanwhile you can practically destroy them, fuck up their arm and now they cant even hold onto the thing anymore.

deus vult inducing
there's a reason why I have always loved pic related

>There's nothing wrong with taking a step back or even spinning
Spinning is always wrong in a fight. Exposing your back is the last thing you want to do.
>>32859364
Unless your friend is some sort of regional conkers champion, pocket sand would seriously be a better choice
>>32861943
nope because the other guy just dodged and doing this way does not put you off balance
he would have to be faster than bruce lee to take advantange of this, I mean we're talking about the spinning they do in ice skating not a sluggish dancing spin
in fact its one way of transferring momentum using aikido
the other guy will get a rude awakening if he thinks turning your back to him for 1/10 or 1/5 second this way is leaving you vulnerable somehow

Because it can only travel horizontally at head level right. You don't even need to use the cord. A fist full of 8ball had left many a split scalp
