Throwing Blunt Objects

After going through the thread by Fiercekiller on throwing tools, I went out with my 10" Crescent wrench to try on my wooden target. Throwing the wrench from the handle held grip (one half revolution) I easily stuck the butt end of it long enough for it to hang about a quarter second before it fell out. I opened the jaws, backed up to a full revolution with the same grip and with a tomahawk like feel got the same results with the tips of the jaws. I wonder how much impact is involved there? More than I would want to experience I'm sure.

I would think that targeting the thigh, ribcage or face with something like that could have some very devastating results on one's opponent in a defensive situation.

Does anybody else throw blunt objects?
 
er.... that was ment as a joke friend no harm intended dont worry you wont hear any more out of me, good luck throwing stuff.
peace
 
no prob man sorry for the jokes in your thread. i have no doubt that getting chucked up side the head with a wrench would be more than enough motivation for me to find some one else to mess with, the only time i throw tools is when i hit myself in the thumb with them:) but i can see where they could be used as effective "ranged deterrents"
 
Anyone else see Dodgeball?



Sorry, couldn't resist.:p

Actually, I've got a big cresent wrench (over a foot long or so) and it would be devastating impact weapon. So would a steel bar the same size, but the wrench is a lot more explainable lying around in my truck.;)
 
Yes I to used to play baseball throwing dull objects can be quite entertaining.

"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball"

Also steel chain with links larger than 3/8" but within weight that you could carry can be a great impact weapon, if you could whip it right you could probably crack a shin bone or rib maybe two, and doubling it up and swinging it is very powerful, then you can move onto weighted pendulums on the end.
 
Toss Kerry and you'll be throwing a tool. Unfortunately he isn't blunt but rather vague.



Arab league Vs Israel finals next week, until the next return match.


Gaza Rocks! Israeli tanks roll.

Sorry not having a good day and I come across throwing tools. Managed screwdrivers and chizels but I am really going to try a wrench when I get home on some computer boxes.

You have nothing to apologize for Doc; now that I have been thoroughly humbled :o and have got my sense of humor back (throwing lead-duhh, where was my head?!), I just got a major chuckle from this as it reminded me of a line out of the first episode of "Welcome Back Kotter". Uhhh, are any of you old enough to remember "Welcome Back Kotter"? Google it if you ain't.

Anyway, Mr. Kotter, who had grown up and out of the old neighborhood was going back to teach in his old high school. The night before returning, while he's agonizing over his impending doom, he looks at his wife and asks her
"Do you know how tough these guys are? They're so tough that they don't carry guns, they insert the bullets manually!"

Dodgeball? Oh yeah, I forgot that one, right on!

Oh man, I can feel it building, the newest martial arts craze "TOOL FU" There won't be any belts involved, other than tool belts. Low rider pants will be mandatory. Rank could consist of Mechanic, Electrician and Plumber while those progressing on to Master will be awarded the title of Grand Butt Crack.

Seriously though, as I dig through my tool box I just found my ratchet handle and an extension. The handle should throw as good as the wrench and the extension makes a great kubotan. The mind boggles!:D

Dang, you've trumped us all! lol
 
Yeah, Napkin dipensers, ashtrays, bottles, and pool balls. All while ducking and running for the door.

In high school a buddy worked in the meat dept at the local grocery. He said he threw the cross-shaped cog from the meat grinder at a guy (without thinking, obviously) while he was cleaning it. Missed the guy he was goofing around with and stuck it in the door of the walk-in fridge. Punched a nice square hole in the steel.

Now there was something I was always curious about!

When I was growing up I used to read Flash comic books and he had a villian named Captain Boomerang, an Aussie who used guess what for weapons. So I would go to the store and buy those red plastic boomerangs take them to my grade school and throw in that big empty field.

I finally got to where I could get it to return every time, but the only thing that ever got hit was me. Well there was a house or two that got in the way when the boomerang went kinda straight.

So have you ever hunted with one?
 
My understanding is that a hunting boomerang is different from a recreational one. The hunting 'rangs don't come back...and the recreational boomerang is thrown upward and away in order to return to you...not conducive to hunting small game.
 
saw a cue ball take out a drunk one night ,,,,wonder why i dont hang out in bars anymore? must be getting old
 
uhh i throw screwdrivers and with one put a hole in a box and tv screen. =] but their was a guy on youtube who stuck needles from a distance and that was freaking awesome.
 
My ex threw a can of Cambells Bean with Bacon at me that stuck end first halfway into a 3/4" sheetrock wall. That in your forehead would sure screw your day up--
