Impact weapons fill what seems to be a select niche in the world of self-defense. When we refer to impact weapons, we are typically referencing tools that are specifically designed for fighting and that imparts a blunt force on an opponent. The majority of environmental weapons of opportunity serve as impact weapons, grabbing a chair and hitting someone with it, hitting someone with a fire extinguisher, etc. But dedicated impact weapons, carried for defensive use, are the topic of this discussion.
Impact weapons come large and small; batons are an example of a larger dedicated impact weapon, yet a pocket stick, kubaton, and similar, are small impact weapons. Since any object that is hard and robust can be used for impact, then certainly flashlights or any hard object you are currently holding or have access to can be forced into this role. However, in terms of items that are dedicated impact weapons that are also small enough to carry feasibly, the most effective options are saps and blackjacks. These items are small, yet they have weighted ends that allow for the generation of significant power when swung in a blow. Such tools generate far greater power than kubatons or other similar items that essentially enhance a hammer fist blow. READ FULL ARTICLE HERE
