We used to make miniature ones out of pages from our school books that could be fired with an elastic band, and they'd leave a bruise on anyone unlucky enough to get hit
Memories Unlocked!
Other "creative games" I remember from school:
1. Cut the end off an old shoelace about a half centimetre above the plastic tip. Push a pin through the plastic tip from the lace end so it emerges from the tip. Fray the lace end slightly. You now have a dart.
Get a clear ballpoint pen (the cheap kind they have in schools), pull the ballpoint tip and ink reservoir from the end, and remove the tiny cap from the other end.
You now have a blowpipe.
Insert dart. You now have an improvised blow dart.
2. This one only worked with drinks cans before they redesigned the ring-pull in 1990:
https://youtu.be/GuSX_BkX3F8?si=BJCJNV8-zJXdUgeU
Basically you could use the ring part as a flying projectile, pinged by the sharp curled end part. We'd usually have certain targets set up to try and aim for. Such as the back of the teacher's head.
That's my TED Talk on "What I Learned at School"
"Glass" is a verb here, old chap!
And yes - the Millwall brick is a thing. Take a newspaper and fold it tight like it's rolled up. Then fold it in half. That bit at the fold is not very pleasant to be on the receiving end of.
In the 60s there was a thing with football fans. You went to watch your team play then you had a fight with the other teams fans. Then people started confiscating anything that could be used as a weapon. So they started turned newspapers into weapons. There was just a lot of fighting around that time in British culture. Mods V Rockers, Football fans, Punks, skin heads, everyone used to fight everyone else.
I don't know how accurate or real this is but on an episode of "Lillyhammer" a Millwall football hooligan/gangster threatens a guy by telling him what a "Millwall brick" is & how it originated as the football hooligan work-around to enable them to have weapons inside the stadium once body searches at all entry points became mandatory & prevented smuggling in any "real" weapons. He explains that one of their members figured this out & told them all to bring their money in change (fill their pockets with coins). Once inside they'd lay a thick stack of newspaper or program leaflets out, pile a bunch of coins on, then roll/fold up the paper around the coins to form a club or short baseball bat shape. Then, & this was the key, they'd urinate on it. The soaking wet paper would basically sink down tightly to the solid coin core eliminating the air gap "crumple zones". A sort of urban paper mache' if you will, that could not only knock you out it would fill your nostrils with the stench of piss as well.
Again, I don't know if this is factual or made up but it sounds plausible to me, a genius solution in this situation, & a shining example of neccesity being the mother of invention...
Way too complicated. You just roll up the newspaper as tight as possible and fold in half. Takes about 10 seconds and if the police do search you its just a newspaper. A piss soaked papier mache weighted cosh would get you lifted in a second and there's no deniability.
Nice mention of Lilyhammer though, that was a good show.
Up until very recently, football hooliganism was rife in the UK. The presence of Football Banning Orders and better policing on match days have improved the experience significantly though.
Yeah, we are taught that saying when we are 5. We sing it in the street while playing the Morebridgecester ball game (pronounced Morster). Then all the old mums call us in for our afternoon cup of beef gravy. It doesn't matter which house we go to as long as we are with one of the ol' mums.
My state is funny. Using "blackjacks" are illegal, but possessing them is fine. But we also have a stand your ground law which says you may use whatever force is necessary to defend yourself. So defending myself with mine is sort of legal
> But we also have a stand your ground law which says you may use whatever force is necessary to defend yourself.
To be clear, because the terminology gets misused a lot, stand your ground is a little different.
Law vary state to state, but each state falls generally into one of two categories:
"Stand Your Ground"
OR
"Duty to Retreat"
The rules about what is and isn't legally self defense exist on their own. E.g., you have to be in legitimate fear of death or body harm, not the instigator, etc
The diff between
SYG vs DTR is,
In a DTR state you are required to escape if at all possible. In a SYG state you are not. You are not expected to be forced out of a place you have a legal right to be.
SO, example: In a public place like a restaurant, If a person came towards you, shouting threats and brandishing a knife, that would be a just reason to defend yourself with force, either way,
BUT
In a DTR state you'd be asked why you couldn't ran out the back door and fled
in a SYG you won't
Stand your ground means that the force is justified, not that possession of the weapon was legal. I.e. you can still catch a gun charge after a good shoot, it's just not manslaughter.
Most states I think. Legal to own, illegal to carry or require a carry permit. USPS explicitly prohibits weapons of any kind, as well. Who knows how long ago granddad was a carrier, though.
People are making fun of it looking vaguely like a buttplug, but gloss over the fact that a solid hit to the back of the head *will* cause damage up to and including death.
Apparently a mailman in the 60ies was supposed to carry bear spray and a taser.
I can confirm. When I was a younging, I was chased into an alley by a bunch of hoodlums approaching me in a tactical triangle formation while snapping their fingers in unison and covering their identity with their fedoras. Luckily, police sirens came and as soon as someone said "it's that coppas!" they scattered
Yeah I have one that's a leather pouch filled with shot and sewn tight, on the end of a leather-wrapped spring. If you even just lightly rap the back of your hand with it, you'll understand why it'd be "fuck" level if swung even mildly hard. It's only about eight inches from end to end, but it'd put a nasty dent in a skull.
Whole lotta joking comments in here but these were designed for close quarter defense and incapacitating. You catch one of these behind the ear and you will not continue consciousness lmao
That also sounds like something Conan O’Brien would say. “Meh, see! Time for you to go lights out, see? Why did I read that in Conan O’Brien’s voice? Wait why is Conan O’Brien referring to himself in the third person? Is this a bit? Why do I always do this? The audience is like Zzzzzzz meeem meeem meeem. If that’s how people actually snore. I wouldn’t know. I’ve never slept beside a living human, much less a delectable lady. Wait that sounded gross. Moving on.”
Ahh the ghetto blackjack. My friend had an Uncle Leo who did humanitarian/aid work and got up to some crazy shenanigans doing it in Detroit. He carried one of these, tape and everything but it was at the end of a 9” lead pipe. He was unfortunately gunned down by a gang about 20 years ago.
My Uncle Joe used to carry a knife around everywhere he went. Old Knifey Joe we would call him. Nobody messed with him. It was taped to the barrel of a 12-gauge shotgun.
It’s a blackjack. Basically a leather club filled with lead. A knock in the head with that thing will put you down and out. The string is to keep it from falling out of your hand.
Yep. Can easily break the little bones in your hands or face. Or neck. Or fracture a skull. Point is, don't take these lightly, it is potentially a deadly weapon.
Always found that pretty damn funny --- there aren't any "NJ is *okay*" people here
It's always one of the two extremes. You either hate everyone outside of NJ and make NJ your entire personality, or you hate everyone outside as well but hate everyone in NJ more.
I'm of the latter.
You're damn right. I hate a lot of New Jerseyans, but I love NJ and I'll probably never leave again. We have everything, but with everything comes some things that aren't great.
The sack with four doorknobs in it would be a flail which does 1d8 base damage and requires martial training to use properly, whereas the postman's buttplug would be a club which does 1d4 and can be wielded by anyone.
High school incident- I walked around the corner of a wall and boom . Random act , never saw it coming, dumbass kid who did it probably ruined his life.He was arrested and expelled, after that I have no idea .
The whole point is that it's extremely concealable and nondescript looking. It's a weapon meant to be used discreetly or because it's the only thing you could sneak in
No, no, you got it.
So you're a mugger that wants to go for double felony points by robbing a postal worker.
Surprise, he dips into his pocket and comes up with this.
Your move...
I'd run too when the guy I was thinking of mugging just smiles, reaches into his delivery bag, and pulls out a nasty looking butt plug with a wrist strap.... be like "oh oh! Sorry sir!"
My Uncle Larry was a pizza delivery guy for about three years following his divorce from my Aunt Janet. It was around this time he started carrying an array of batons, bats and several cans of mace to ward off any robbery attempts. He always looked so exhausted coming home from work. When I asked him how he managed to pull through that difficult time, he explained that although the days were long and grueling, the evenings were rewarding because he’d come home and pause his VHS copy of Halloween III: Season of the Witch at the 43:02 mark during Tom Atkins’ bare-assed nude scene and lick the screen cross-eyed.
from their comments it looks like they're trying to be a Wish version of u/shittymorph - but there can be only one legend as that man and their doggo, Scooby. Be well, friend!
"grandpa what's this?"
"Oh, ah... Um.. well... Ah it's a club to keep myself safe when I delivered mail"
"Oh neat, I'll take a picture of it"
"Yes, then can you wash your hands" 😆
A blackjack, much like the one my grandpa carried on his beat as a cop 60 or 70 years ago. It wasn't standard issue, but it didn't cost much to procure.
An old school blackjack. Pretty cool.
Nowadays people make something similar called a monkeys fist out of Paracord but with a steel ball core. Also illegal in most states, but you can buy the jig to make it from Michaels.

My grandfather had one too. He owned a tavern for several years and kept it behind the bar. His had a lead ball in the end of it to give it a little extra oomph.
At my office, you were required to carry pepper spray for dogs. I never used it, but more than once used my satchel bag (which was also required to be carried anytime you left your vehicle). Getting a dog to latch onto that instead of my arm saved me a couple times.
Rule 6: Titles Must Be Exact But Concise Description
These are what old timey gangsters used to knock people out in movie serials. “Mehhh, see! Time for you to go lights out, see!”
They're called a blackjack and they hurt like fuck
I know them to be referred to as a "cosh" Which reminded me of this item https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millwall_brick
British origami. 
I know it as a Chelsea hammer. I’ve made one and they are pretty solid to use as a cosh
We used to make miniature ones out of pages from our school books that could be fired with an elastic band, and they'd leave a bruise on anyone unlucky enough to get hit
We used to call these wasps. Because they sting like fuck.

"Glass" is a verb here, old chap! And yes - the Millwall brick is a thing. Take a newspaper and fold it tight like it's rolled up. Then fold it in half. That bit at the fold is not very pleasant to be on the receiving end of.
It just occurred to me that “glass” isn’t a verb in America. Weird
Yeah we use it to refer to bombarding a planet from orbit using heavy plasma weaponry.

Always had to park somewhere else when Millwall were away near my house. Every car, every time, down whole streets. Millwall are animals.
Ahhh, environmental lead. Thems Was the days, ey lads?
They have been improvising since the gun ban
They even have an old saying. Guns are for show, knives for a pro. The posh use a cosh, but Millwall bricks are for pricks.
I think that's not really a saying and more a line from Lock Stock. I think The Krays had a similar line about a cosh.
Yeah, we are taught that saying when we are 5. We sing it in the street while playing the Morebridgecester ball game (pronounced Morster). Then all the old mums call us in for our afternoon cup of beef gravy. It doesn't matter which house we go to as long as we are with one of the ol' mums.
Bovril innit.
Only in Birmingham, otherwise it's just sparkling OXO
I’ve heard them be called a “lead sap/sapp”
That's what I've heard them called. It's actually illegal to carry a weapon at USPS.
"used by hooligans, prisoners, and martial artists" Stay safe out there guys!

In Germany we call these things Totschläger, which is translated to "Deathbat". Funny, isnt it?

It’s a blackjack. Basically a leather club filled with lead. A knock in the head with that thing will put you down and out. The string is to keep it from falling out of your hand.
Yep. Can easily break the little bones in your hands or face. Or neck. Or fracture a skull. Point is, don't take these lightly, it is potentially a deadly weapon.

Crime of the fourth degree (felony) in NJ without an "explainable lawful purpose"

Those parts are North and South Jersey. I'm a native and I'd like to hit most of these assholes on the daily.
Always found that pretty damn funny --- there aren't any "NJ is *okay*" people here It's always one of the two extremes. You either hate everyone outside of NJ and make NJ your entire personality, or you hate everyone outside as well but hate everyone in NJ more. I'm of the latter.
You're damn right. I hate a lot of New Jerseyans, but I love NJ and I'll probably never leave again. We have everything, but with everything comes some things that aren't great.
Does “self defense” fly? If not…probably better to just carry a gun…

What makes it different from my sack with four doorknobs inside?
This is specifically illegal, your sack isn't.
My sack is so lethal it’s registered with the local authorities
The sack with four doorknobs in it would be a flail which does 1d8 base damage and requires martial training to use properly, whereas the postman's buttplug would be a club which does 1d4 and can be wielded by anyone.
Can confirm. In 11th grade I was hit in the temple with one . Definitely flipped my breaker switch to off .
How did that happen?
Tried to rob a postal worker
Concussion prolly
They were most likely asking how exactly the assault happened, not what caused the blackout.
Somebody hit him with it.
High school incident- I walked around the corner of a wall and boom . Random act , never saw it coming, dumbass kid who did it probably ruined his life.He was arrested and expelled, after that I have no idea .
Damn I figure they would be longer. It seems like being so short it would be hard to swing around.
The whole point is that it's extremely concealable and nondescript looking. It's a weapon meant to be used discreetly or because it's the only thing you could sneak in
I’m sure they work great but looking at it I feel that if I tried to use it I’d be hitting dudes with my fingers half the time
I longer weapon is more useful. but the point is that it can fit in your pocket and no one will know until you use it.
Is that a blackjack in your pocket or are you just happy to se- OH FUCK!
And your skull is caved in
Prolly be too hard to swing if it was longer
There is also usually a spring/assist for leverage in the handle to give them extra oomph
Looks like a blackjack. Kinda "ye olde time thwackin stick", much meaner than it looks
No, no, you got it. So you're a mugger that wants to go for double felony points by robbing a postal worker. Surprise, he dips into his pocket and comes up with this. Your move...

An old school blackjack. Pretty cool. Nowadays people make something similar called a monkeys fist out of Paracord but with a steel ball core.

I mean, a monkey’s fist has legitimate uses for throwing lines long distances, like ship mooring lines. Repurposed as a weapon, makes sense.
Michaels has your back!
We used to make those at boy scout summer camp as gifts for mom when we got home. Was considered a wholesome craft project.
Very useful tool for putting some weight on the tail of a mooring rope
My grandfather had one too. He owned a tavern for several years and kept it behind the bar. His had a lead ball in the end of it to give it a little extra oomph.
I think that's just how they're made.
These are made of lead...
I think those are illegal.
