Hammers can kill. Why aren't hammers weapons?

What a violent mind.....but I agree. Blunt intruments can cause much bodily damage.

Ick...so can a carving knife.

I've discovered that a tool or two has protective abilities like shields. Might have been a bug though.

Really? Wow. Maybe like....a stick? A stick can be protective. Not very, but it helps.

Well leave it to Sammi to start a thread about weapons Speaking for my self, since I have extensive self-defence training, any tool could be used for a weapon. Actually anything you can hold in your hands can be used as a weapon. How much damage it would cause would depend on the item. plus some items would require you to stand close to the person. I think if you could hit a man with a hammer, which means you had to stand within 3 feet or so from the person, if that person was to attack in the same hour with something like a hunting bow teh damage should be increased by say 25% becasue the other person is close by. That would make weapons better than tools for attacking, but it gives someone who only has a stone hammer something to defend them selves with. But that is just my opinion. I mean there is a reason why they call me the "Lone" wolf.

what about crowbars...those hurt when you hit people with them...so do needles, especially in the eyes...

Hey! LOL I'm usually not a violent person!

Cooking stones could hurt too. Try bashing someone in the head with that.

Or stone period. I'd love to toss rocks at people. It'd be cool. [/code]

or hunks of iron, or hunks of steel...or umm...other blunt objects...

oh yes watch me deffend myself with a twig....lol but a crowbar could knock someone out cold or cause internal bleeding just thing of the blood shed....

Tools were weapons at one point but somewhere down the line it what ws changed.

I remember back in the good old days when the only weapons in Drojf was a measly dung-fork and a few trowels that were passed around. No wonder why Maynard overran Drojf in a matter of a day with his army.

It is clear that far to many people on this forum have a fascination with causing blunt trauma . To add to the possiblilities, I expect you could drive someone's ribs through their lungs with a war hammer or sledge hammer. I don't think tomatos will fix that.

well, you'd be suprised at the power of tomatoes...

You know, a screwdriver could hurt. Badly.
