I watched a vid on /r/streetfights years back and this kid pulled out some on another kid and fricking destroyed him in a single punch.
It was messed up.
Very effective if you’re going for fricking up someone’s face but not killing them, (although you can kill someone with them).
A can of mace sprayed to the eyes, and then rock ‘em sock’em robot with the brass knucks, and your victim is going to require lots of reconstructive surgery and dental work.
I see a lot of cleverly disguised "bottle opener" and meat pounders, I wonder how well that really stands up if you're in a state that bans brass knucks
If you’re in a position to be getting searched because you allegedly did something you shouldn’t have, it probably won’t help you at all. I asked the retired cop who taught part of my ccw class what happens if they actually catch a felon with a loaded blackpowder gun and he said they’d throw the book at em
>actually catch a felon with a loaded blackpowder gun and he said they’d throw the book at em
You are a moron and ccw instructors are homosexual fake insurance sellers that only exist because state requires them.
I gave mine away to a friend in exchange for a few boxes 7.62x39, I was trying to give them away but he's too generous for that.
I didnt like how they felt in my hand, they made my fingers cramp up when I made a tight fist in them.
they're only good for a sucker punch. unless you're a trained boxer, you'd be better off with a baseball bat or a 2x4. even your trained guys will probably prefer a bat.
A knife is very likely to kill and leave a lot of blood, brass knuckles CAN kill, but you can just use them to jelly the bones in someone's arm if you've already tased them or something.
They can really seriously frick someone up. Very compact, easy to conceal, and easy to deploy. A blow to the face or head had a very good chance of breaking something or concussing the victim.
The only reason they aren't common is because you will get legally assraped if you use them for any reason.
If you punched someone in the skull with brass knuckles I'd rate your chance of killing them or giving them serious brain damage pretty high.

It wouldn't do anything at all to protect you as the user. Retailers just use that loophole but honestly I don't think it would hold up if anyone felt like prosecuting them either.
If you're looking to frick up people in a street fight, it's good, but you're going to be looked down upon by the law, the DA and a jury if you try to claim self defense with it.
If you want something for self defense just carry pepper spray.
A lot of states restrict them, and I for one would feel dumb as frick for going to jail for knocking someone out with them.
I’ll do you one better. I grew up in a filthy East Coast city. I got jumped by a group of future doctors one day and they whipped my ass (3v1). I had an older cousin, he had taught me to box when I was younger so I could throw hands. He heard about what happened and came over my house, hands me two rolls of nickles. Tells me “Hey man, carry these in your pocket.” Like three days later I’m walking home from school. Spot one of the joggers that jumped me by himself standing up ahead talking to a girl not paying attention. Reach into my pockets, grab a roll of nickles for each hand. Walk up to this dude, he sees and puts his hands up. Fade him with a left, connect with his jaw with a right hook, dudes eyes roll up in his head and he’s out cold, doesn’t even bruise my knuckles.
Nothing illegal about carrying a roll of nickles anon. Has added benefit of not breaking your knuckles if you hit them at a funny angle.
Possible larp but also not wrong, packing your fists will make you hit like a truck and the victim won't require a pound of steel wire to hold their face together afterwards
If I am going to carry a non-lethal weapon for self defense, I am just going to carry mace spray. Not pepper spray, but mace. Lot easier to use than brass knuckles, can engage multiple people a lot easier, and won't be fricked in court for trying for using a weapon that has an old-school stigma of being a maiming weapon used in greaser and cholo street fights, etc...
Also why the frick would you want anything that went through your knuckles? Why not a brass "D"? Everything I'm thinking of looks a lot like a swords guard and not a lot like brass knuckles
d guards can rotate, they could bend in.
to put it simply a d guard is just a guard. its not optimized for hitting people with it.
punching with a knife or sword dguard is a possiblity but not the purpose of it.
Good for intentional maiming, bad for non-lethal defense. Best option is to tase and then use the knuckles to smash the hands into permanent disability. Can't drive, can't jerk off, can't type, can't eat or drink unassisted.
I'd give knuckles a 6/10 (regardless of whether its a metal, wooden, or plastic one)
The high score is because they accomplish their job of reducing the chance of you breaking your hand when punching someone.
-1 point because they separate your fingers making your punching grip weaker.
-1 point for only barely making you more lethal (the only people that can kill you with one of these can kill you without one of these too), a knife would be more useful if someone is trying to kill you and I don't advocate for knife defense either.
-1 point for being hard to justify, if your opponent has no weapon then you didn't need them and if they did have a weapon then you wish you had something better.
-1 point for not increasing your range, if your life is in actual danger you'd rather have a baseball bat or crowbar than some knuckles.
>-1 point because they separate your fingers making your punching grip weaker. >The weapon that makes your punch objectively stronger gets -1 point for making your punch weaker
I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end for sure
But then there are more effective weapons and if we consider what happens after the fight, brass knuckles seem to be perceived very negatively, even more so than knives and such, so you might get absolutely raped in the court
About tree fiddy.
It is one of the weapons of all time.
I wouldn't want to get hit with one.
This. I'd rather have a knife or a gun, but knuckle dusters still fricking hurt.
I watched a vid on /r/streetfights years back and this kid pulled out some on another kid and fricking destroyed him in a single punch.
It was messed up.
Do they enough damage to be viable for torture, or are they basically going to brain damage someone right off? Is it better to use bear mace?
You don't have to hit the head, you can for example count the ribs or smash the fingers and hands of person you're interrogating
One hit

I pound meat with meat pounder.

cops don't charge people
Notice how I was referring to the cop in the singular “he” yet said “they” throwing the book, moron?

>they're only good for a sucker punch
you are not going to hit someone with brass knuckles twice anyway
>you'd be better off with a baseball bat or a 2x4.
You'd be better off not talking out of your ass.
Serious question, is there any benefit to these over just stabbing someone?

they are only good if your fighting a moron with no weapon at all.
on a scale of 1-10 melee
its a 5
Also depends on the purpose
Assassination its higher rated
when the enemy sees you coming its lower rated
its really a side arm

They are really safe and effective, because they are banned in Germany.
One thing that I think people are missing is the damage knuckle dusters are going to do to someone else's fists.
The appeal is definitely there if you're not a serious boxer, but in this day and age the kids all have knives and I'd rather cut proof gloves
Also why the frick would you want anything that went through your knuckles? Why not a brass "D"? Everything I'm thinking of looks a lot like a swords guard and not a lot like brass knuckles

Have a couple, they hurt a lot to use. Get a blackjack instead.
They've been popular weapons around the world for hundreds of years and were still carried well into the age of reliable automatic firearms.
Won't that design frick up your hand because it doesn't brace against your palm?
A two
