      Just use a flamethrower and napalm, you can substitute the napalm with a gasoline-diesel-polystyrene mix.
      So if you carry a pack of polystyrene, you can refuel at any gas station and use the air hose to repressurize either your napalm cylinder or your compressed air cylinder depending on how elaborate your flamethrower is. A dedicated air tank is heavier to carry but will last longer than if the fuel tank was pressurized.
      Or you could customize it and use a battery powered fuel pump with just a fuel cylinder of a gasoline and diesel mix. It wont cover the target with a thick sticky fire liquid, but the diesel will still make it flow like a fire stream from the gun. Just gasoline alone will only make a fire flame and not produce a consistent stream.

      That's all great and well, and in a perfect world that makes perfect sense.

Sure, why make yourself a target by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unfortunately, it seems all bets are off anymore, and anyone is a target of opportunity as punks and thugs have become so brazenly empowered.

    People, mainly ladies, please be careful with carrying a knife for “self defense”. You can carry one for all the other purposes she mentioned. I can almost guarantee that if you were to stab or slash your (unarmed)attacker you won’t immediately stop the threat. Now you are just standing a foot away from a pissed off bleeding attacker and now may overpower you, take your knife from you and use it on you. Carry either pepper spray or a firearm. 🤷

    It's also important when using a blade for self defense two things. Any blade without a full or at least partial tang can sometimes snap. And a folding blade may fold in on you under pressure. You will not like this but your opponents will. Pocket knives were designed for utility and not combat. And no matter how good any knife may be, they should be used for their designed purposes if you expect consistent positive results. No one digs a ditch with a spoon unless there isn't a shovel handy nearby. Keep it up ❤ Cheers

      @@TheSolongsidekick bro, I never said I could do it every time! Hence trick shot. I said 'I can'. Not reliably and consistently. It's a very difficult throw. I have been throwing no flip for over 20 years though. I can reliably and consistently plant a knife on 2 inch targets at 5 feet with good penetration. I 'can' throw with rotation, but not effectively, just for fun. For the throw with deployment from closed I use a crkt m16-z with a thumb stud. And I'm throwing into cardboard. And it takes multiple tries, every time.
      I'm familiar with the Dunning-Kruger effect and that's not the case in this situation.

I assume you're using a knife with a thumb stud or a spine flipper? I can see how if you're opening it from the spine with your pointer fingerb you could use that to stabilize a quick throw, but with a thumb stud that would just throw a bunch of force into it along a new plane. Also, are you carrying it in your pocket?

      Yes and no. A firearm yes, there is more of a learning curve when it comes to aiming and firing, but the main thing is the willingness to use it to harm another individual. The stopping power at a distance you can maintain from your opponent is the most beneficial thing about them. Reach is King for any confrontation with a weapon.
      A knife by comparison doesn't require that much training, stab, stab, stab, slash, slash, slash. Mostly it's the willingness to actually harm another individual. Contrary to popular "self-defense specialists", it's vastly easier to out run and scream for help against someone with a knife, than to get within reach, and try to take it. That goes for you using a knife as well, you're opponent is at a huge disadvantage just because you have a knife and they don't.

    Careful. No. 1 reason, Self-defense just made that fixed blade illegal here in Canada. Yup. If you happen to be in Canada and the police ask why you have a knife, tell them it is for cutting apples for eating, or trimming your nails. If you are carrying it for Self-defense, now it is a weapon and is illegal.

      Same as Australia. It is illegal to carry a knife or (any martial weapon really) for "self-defense", but you can carry it to and from preparation of food. So basically just pull the apple-knife excuse.

      Well, yes. If we are talking about knives, you might be right. But guns are an entirely different story. They are really hard to get by in Germany and that's a good thing. The worst thing a criminal might have here is indeed a knive and you can counter that with pepper pray(which is illegal as well lol).

    Knivies are very cool but chopsticks are also good for self defense. You can also eat with them, use them as skewers, for cooking, mixing, prop for a plant to grow, do your hair, for cleaning in difficult corners, unclog bottles, getting things out of grooves, think of any setting and chopsticks have a use somewhere.

      It's more than that. You can have a crap fixed blade. It's about design and quality of purification of that metal. Then was it also crafted in a way that fatigue or flaws didn't take place to shorten the life of the knife.
      I have folding knives I've had for several years and they're still in great shape. They still work as if they are brand new. I also don't cheap out when purchasing blades. I do my research to make sure I'm not purchasing a low quality knife, fixed or otherwise.
