I first saw this little device a long time ago when I viewed the Comtech Push Dagger video. Seems like an eternity ago. Maybe six or seven years now...
James Keating was talking about it as a keyring attachment and how the Stinger relates to a Push Dagger. How the Push Dagger is perhaps the ultimate thrusting weapon and the Stinger was the more socially acceptable alternative to that particular edged weapon.
You can tell I got some neat stuff UPS today, right?
I put it in my hand, it feels very comfortable. The striking point of this thing can project from between the index and middle fingers or the middle and ring finger.
It does align the bones properly to perform terrible things on an attacker without the fear of breaking your fingers/hand on someone's hard head.
I thought that it would hurt like hell, hitting something substantial with it. I figured my BaliSong activity would be hindered for the next two days as my palm recovered.
So I have the striking point between the middle and ring fingers, and I drop it on the Kitchen Table from about 10 inches, you know, almost like a straight-blast type of rolling punch, but more or less just dropped the fist on the table.
I crunched the table alright, left a nice, neat, little hole, more than an indentation...
So, this little device is alot like a Push Dagger, alot like Kelly Worden's DTL Impact Kerambit and has elements of the JSP Koppo Stick as well.
You can still grab people, etc., still retain even an open knife in that hand if that would solve the problems you would encounter, that would take some practice, but let's say instead that you have a Bic Pen in reverse grip in the same hand. Voila! Neat stuff...
Where the Stinger differs is, you can get an excellent, straight punch out of it and it will bust someone up pretty badly. And, like the Push Dagger and the other fistloads I listed, you can still hammerfist or open your hand and palm heel strike with it as well without losing it.
I think if you work Loss Prevention for a store, work Concert Security, certain jobs like that, one Stinger in each front pocket and some time dedicated with a training partner and two focus mitts would make you quite a formidable person.
If you dot someone's chin or land in their sternum, you're going to tear them up with this thing, there is no doubt in my mind. If they draw back with a haymaker and you enter and hit them in one of those two places, you are going to crumple them, simple as that.
On a more advanced level, if someone draws back and you enter and hit them in the arm, it's going to cause some dysfunction in that limb, no doubt in my mind. Same with someone throwing a straight punch at your face, if you can see it coming, always the problem with the straight punch, and this thing lands on their incoming fingers [of their fist] again, no doubt in my mind, you will break at least one finger.
Same with a backfist or backhanded slap. If this thing lands on the back of their hand, they are going to have to be chemically fueled in order to not feel it.
You cannot go wrong with this one folks.
Be aware, obviously, if you start hitting people in vitals with bare hands, you can severely injure and/or kill them. This was designed to strengthen the punch, focus and intensify it, and it works. So, obviously, if you hit someone in the temple, below the occipital bone in the back of the head [the flat area for shock transfer, flats convey shock to the brain more effectively which is precisely why the flats on the skull are more lethal targets] or in the throat/side of the neck, this would carry with it the possibility that the attacker would expire.
You could rupture vital structures in the abdomen, break ribs, etc. You don't have to be a BEAST with this thing, it does the work for you. It adds a ferocity to limb destructions that should light up your day.
For the sake of argument, let's say that you punch with say, 30 pounds of pressure from your arm, this is going to equal hundreds of pounds of pressure Per Square Inch [PSI] because the striking area is so small.
So, if you have one or you get one, be careful with it. It looks like a little cheesy piece of plastic, but it packs a wallop times ten. The kitchen table tells the tale. Here I go again, endangering my Marriage to bring you the latest and the greatest in equipment.
All of that, and my hand doesn't hurt a bit either.
