Phil keeps on using the word "threat". I don't think he actually knows what that word means, since nothing in this thread could ever be taking as a threat by any reasonable person. There is the possibility that Phil knows we aren't threatening him and is just lying about it in the hopes of getting attention from his dumbass "comrades".
And as the thread's resident weapons sperg, I feel it is my duty to point out that Phil is yet again displaying his absolute ignorance and stupidity on the subject.
First off, those "spring loaded" batons, the kind you push a button or slide a switch and the shaft pops out kinda like an out the front automatic knife, are typically junk. Often times they are shaped like a Japanese Sai with one guard curving away from the hand and one curving back towards the hand. They are typically made from cheap materials, nowhere near the strength of real collapsible batons like an Asp or Modadnock, and very often the mechanism breaks since they're more of a toy than an actual weapon. They're flashy and that's about it.
The pepper spray gel is more useful, but the gel generally performs worse than liquid pepper spray. It's far less effective, especially with someone wearing glasses, because the gel clumps up and stays in place, where the liquid will run down into the eyes, nose, and mouth, thus being far more effective at its job.
And $20 for a "bowie knife"? Fucking LOL sure, I guess if it's just going to hang off your belt as an accessory and never get used. I question if the steel on a $20 knife will even be able to TAKE and edge, let alone be able to keep it for any length of time. Even if Phil were trying to get $170 for just the knife by itself, I would still be laughing at him and shaking my head at what a clueless bumblefuck he is when it comes to weapons. Absolute fucking clown shoes, man...
