Finally found a weapon used less than an AR-15 in attempted murder/murder.

I hope that wasn't Barney.

The "weapon" is a light musical instrument with less mass than a broom handle.
Just grab the thing.

Hey, I have a didgeridoo and they ain't no joke. It'll put a klonk on your noggin!

It's like getting smacked over the head with a Vortex Razor 5-27!

I have a Didge, it weighs about 12 pounds. Some kind of hard wood. 5 feet long. I could knock one out of the park, on a good day. Would put a good sized ANTIFA on it's ass.

 

[W54/XM-388]

I must have the light portable version then.

Hate to burst your bubble, but I think a didgeridoo would be classified as a "blunt object," used more frequently than a "rifle..."

Aussies, arrrrrrgh!

There was a soft drink, "Wallaby Squash", and the ad had a song sung to that tune:

"Drink me wallaby squash, sport...."

What fucking bubble are you talking about.

Obviously it is a blunt force weapon. If you watch the media it would easily be assumed that an AR15 type rifle is responsible for every murder in the world. let alone every death.

When in fact rifles of any kind are used in less then 2% of murders. Making the AR15 involved in 1% give or take.

Blunt force weapons would be the same as firearms, a category not an actual item. If you break down the blunt force category you find that things like baseball bats and tire irons are in fact used MORE than AR type rifles. Hell bare hands are much further up the list.

But lets be honest a didgeridoo is not something you see everyday.

SOOOOOOO, that would mean.

I finally found a weapon that is (actually) used in a crime LESS than an AR15 type rifle (despite what the media would have you or me believe)

All the ones I have seen are well over 10 lbs and at least 4 1/2 ft long.

 

[Soulezoo]

Ahhh!!! My didge is about to leap off the table and commit murder upon me!!!! Ban them all!!!
My didgeridoo is only a little over 2 feet long and about 3.5 lbs.

 

[RTH1800]

There are two things no man will tell the truth about. One of them is the size of his didgeridoo. ??

 

[W54/XM-388]

Mine comes in at 1 and 3/4th pounds so you can carry it all day long, but it doesn't make a great weapon.

 

[2ndamendfan]

That is just a baby. Does it still have a really deep note/tone?

 

[W54/XM-388]

I never figured out how to play it properly, so I don't know.
Me and musical instruments have a long history of failure.
Not limited to:
Recorder
Guitar
Piano
Violin
Drums

If you can't play well, play LOUD!
