Weapons in your room...

[RAI251]

Katanas - lots of 'em. And if all else fails, I have some very heavy text books >D

One of these days I'm gonna get a .45 pistol, but they are so expensive. I'm thinking maybe I should start with a 9mm and work my way up. At least I could get used shooting at the range before I make my step up to a bigger gun.

I'd suggest borrowing and trying out various models in various calibres until you find one you really like, then buying one of those, instead. A .22 through the back of the eye socket does a heck of a lot more damage than a .50AE that missed, after all. If you're fifty times better with a particular model of 9mm than with any .45 or vice versa, you're better off just getting that.

Okay, it was a .22 pistol... but still, the only difference is that he bruised he seven times as opposed to once.

Bruised [http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1345&dat=19870609&id=NBATAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7_oDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3762,1694603]?

Bruised?!? [http://www.sff.net/people/sanders/rrdws3.html]

The ubiquitous .22 Long Rifle is used in a wide variety of revolvers, semi-automatics, and even derringers and single-shot target pistols, not to mention rifles. It is not terribly effective as a handgun cartridge, since it needs a rifle-length barrel to get up to full speed; still, a lot of people are killed by .22 pistols every year.

As mentioned before, the .32 auto is a rather anemic little item, not taken generally seriously as a defense round, though admittedly a lot of people have been killed by them.

It's potentially lethal a mile away, fired from a rifle, and that's just the .22LR. The police marksmen here use .22SSS from appropriate rifles. It's squirrel's-eye accurate from the right weapon and holds its energy a lot better than a supersonic bit of foil. It's also, from the right weapon, quiet enough not to prevent you hearing and identifying the other intruder and/or the family member moving around just after that first shot in a confined space without ear defenders. Let off one .44 Magnum under those conditions and you're hearing nothing but one high note for several minutes.

Mai Air Rifle. That or the heavy canvas painting I have hanging on my wall. I reckon that heavy, pine case would do some damage.

 

[WhackySacky]

My golf clubs ?
Either that or i could get my fat brother to Devour any intruder.

I'm in a Medieval reinactment society so I have several weapons in my bedroom. I've got a real bow and a quiver full of arrows. The arrows have target points on them but I could switch them out for hunting points if I wanted to. I also have a real hand and a half Norman style sword that is currently blunted for use in real tournaments. I have a grinder and could sharpen it to a razor edge since its made of the right kind of steel for holding an edge. I also have a katana that is already sharp. It's just for decoration and "shadow fighting" practice as they won't let you use really sharp weapons in tournaments in our group. I've cut through watermelons, 2X4 boards and such with my katana. It's fun.

Hrrm. Is your group that live-steel thing?

It's one of them. I'm in the Adrian Empire. It's not as well known as Society for Creative Anacronism (SCA) but it is world-wide with kingdoms in the U.S., Australia, Canada and several countries in Europe.

 

[Winter Rat]

Um, Mossberg 590 shotgun backed up by dual-weilded Beretta 92F/S and Glock 21. Do I win anything for being the most heavily armed nerd?

 

[atomictoast]

The Guitar behind my door, its heavy as hell.

 

[Anarchy In Detroit]

Out of the things in your room, what serves as the best weapon? Probably my Ibanez guitar, it's not too heavy for me to lift over my head.

Maglite flashlight. Legal to carry in your car too.

 

[itstricky]

A pogo stick, I could bounce of their feet to cripple them and then hit them over the head with it then when they're on the floor, bounce on their face a few times.

 

[linchowlewy]

my scalpel. its been sitting on my chair for so long i forgot why i have it, still it makes the best impromptu weapon. also makes the chair a health hazard if i want to sit down

 

[PlaylistOne]

Swiss army knife, and my guitars. Trust me, they hurt.

 

[RadioactiveMicrobe]

My Gravity Hammer
Lancer
energy sword
Zanpakto
ninja sword
Wolverine Claws

The list goes on...

 

[Ossum]

I'd say the drill with a 1/2" bit could do a pretty good job.

 

[Xanadeas]

Bayonet under the bed, four of five knives at the head of it. Dagger with a dragon sculpture wrapped around it. Several small glass sculptures in the shapes of dragons hatching from eggs, they weigh about 5lbs each. A small glass orb about 2-3lbs usable as projectile. If all else fails I'll just grab the walking stick sitting against my book shelf and proceed to introduce it to the nearest targets groin and then skull. :3

 

[Brown Cap]

Potential Weapons in my room:

Pocket Knife
Bo (Wooden Stick used in Karate Demonstrations)

[Kellerb]

[jonnywarlock]

Mostly improvised weapons:

I'm reading a James Clavell hardcover (Whirlwind). This sucker's heavy enough to do some damage...

Pencils. Extra sharpened. I blame the Joker and his "magic trick".

 

[Gaderael]

In my bedroom? I would have to say the thirty year old 19" RCA television. That thing'd stop a tank.
