How effective would a morningstar be for bear defense, or just for general protection while walking the park/taking a hike?
>1d8/x2
you could do better. unless you want chase the trip feat chain.

That's a flail, not a morningstar.

Not as effective as a Class IV UV laser.

ahahaha i finally get the joke
>>948999
>Be bear
>Walking down my morning path, want to take a massive bear dump then go hunt some salmon in my bear river
>Hear rustling in the brush
>Brightly coloured chubby thing walks out and spots me
>Has some retarded looking stick and ball in his hands
>Speak in bear, tell him, "Hey buddy this is private property fuck off."
>Guy makes brown brown right there, can smell it
>He charges me swinging his retarded stick and ball around, trips on a rock, and caves his head in not even 5 feet away from me
>mfw I have a comfy afternoon munching on brightly coloured fat thing
>>948999
I think you're taking "bear mace" too literally
>>948999
well it's not the best weapon it is uniquely suited to strike behind shields do you expect bandits wielding shields and wearing plate armor attacking you?
>>948999
Just get a pointy stick, you retard.

>morningstar be for bear defense
I would say a very very very very bad idea
Beyong large calibre handguns, shotguns with slugs, center fire rifles, sprays I often wonder why people don't use m80s to scare bears away or if you like a co2 banger.
t. Owns antique flail from france
Can I use a morningstar to fend off trip fags?
Anyone seen that video of a bear scalping some poor bastard at an indian zoo? Took one swipe, less than a second and the dude ragdolled. Bears are fucking terrifying, I'd carry a .45 and some bear spray if I was expecting to see bears. Going in melee is suicide.
A spear is cheap and more effective.

I remember that, pretty funny

How does a jaguar get loose like that?
>Savages
>>948999
If you were inclined to use medieval weaponry i'd use a halberd or a billhook
It allows you to keep your distance and if the bear gets on its hind legs then you can really do some damage

>>948999
ask /k/ instead. They will probably have better answers.
>>949689
that's a small leopard a jaguar has different head shape and much larger.
>>949812
In what universe does that look like a lion you mongoloid?
>>949669
dude i wanna fight bobcats with brass knuckles
fucking dope
>>948999
Remove the spikes first so it won't hurt as bad when the bear shoves it up your ass.
You're a retard. If you want a bear defence weapon you want a 12 gauge or a large calibre pistol. Failing that a knife for if it's mauling you.
>>948999
If you actually needed to defend yourself from a charging bear, that would not help you in any way whatsoever.
>>952863
Unless you wanted to hit yourself in the head with it to end your suffering quickly.
>>952606
>knife
Yeah, that'll be a good match for a bear's reach and razor sharp claws
>>948999
It would be about as effective as a toothpick.
>>948999
Why would you, on general principle, mix it up in MELEE with a BEAR?
Do you feel you have to give him a fair go, instead of just shooting from a distance or hiding and avoiding?

>guy makes brown brown
fuckin kek
>>948999
They are very hard to use effectively, and more importantly safely for what regards the user. I've had many duels with the real thing. Very dangerous to everyone involved.
>>953368
you are supposed to use them in full plate lot less dangersouy to you then.
>>949540
>45
Lmao the bear will just move out of the way
