Mall Ninja Weapons, the things that make fantasy sword designs look practical by default.

I actually had the scorpion arm blade thing. Grandma got it for me. It is exactly as awful as it looks. It was very heavy for its size. Literally none of the edges were sharp so it can only poke things if you tried to fight with it. On the "belly" was a thin flap of fake leather for a bad cushion, best use was keeping most of the cold metal from touching your skin. The pad was badly glued on like with elmers elementary school glue so it fell off without anyone ever messing with the thing. Truly Peak Mall Ninja.

"special" weapon from there. Like a gladius with double brass dragon head crossguard (one head each side), the blade is like forearm length and it weights easily 7 to 10lb because of that massive crossguard. As for that specific middle "dagger" (it was sold as being a dagger), I remember it being extremely sharp and heavy, it cut through the wooden holder from its sheer sharpness and weight combined. Also, as anyone could guess, it is really not comfortable to hold. Edit: I double checked, it is not the exact same ninja mall weapon, though extremely similar, my dad's version has an "axe" blade at the bottom of the middle spiky "hold" and the blade is a little thinner at the end of that thing that goes across the blade.

It's also common to keep them on a channel specifically for VODS. Especially full VODs. this way they don't drag down the overall views of the channel but already fans can subscribe to see what they missed or rewatch and new ones can binge in addition to the main channel. While it doesn't make as much money, you can still make some decent pocket change and every once in a while, you'll get a little boost in views and revenue on it.

How do females conceal weaponry more places than guys? More importantly, where do they conceal them? Seems women would have less places than guys due to the tiny pockets, etc in clothing (btw I am NOT a proponent of sexist clothing, nor am I binary, jsyk.)

[@Jaeler9]

@@cornsyruptrucker approaching this answer in hopefully the same spirit you asked it, it honestly depends on the taste of the female, much like the males as well. Please let me clarify, I am not referring to gender identity in the biological sense or the personal identification or any other such touchy area. I refer only to gender silhouette and and general accepted clothing associated with the “gender” in question. There are as many variations of both groups as there are colors and I cannot speak for everyone. Now in modern clothing if the person in question prefers skin tight clothing, obviously they would have fewer options in terms of concealed carry. Personally I prefer fitted but relaxed cut clothing and am on the slightly “bustier” side of things, I also have mid to long hair and prefer to wear boots. So I have a tendency to hide a sai or two in my hair as hair sticks, one or two knives in my bra (underwires/padded versions are fantastic for this. Sports bras being a close third. A well fitting corset is queen of all concealed carry options though.), two to three at my waist, and anywhere from two to four in my boots, as well as the odd one or four on my arms (when I’m feeling particularly anxious, some not pleasant life experiences being a moderately well endowed female in a world that people don’t respect the word no.) when i go full carry. And that’s just my person. If I include my purse or backpack the tally goes up. So on a bare day maybe 3, on a fully loaded day 15 plus. And I actually practiced with a cousin to see if any of these would interfere with carrying say a sword, bow and arrows, or a firearm. Depending on the size of everything, you could quite easily add the other weapons without sacrificing any knifes. And if you change out a single sheath for a throwing knife sheath, add anywhere from 2 to 20 individual blades. Historical clothing and period clothing changes things yet again. Did that answer your question satisfactorily? The only male I have seen go as fully loaded was the fictional ronon dex. Perhaps there are others or even real life examples, I do not know. But what I do know is that curves allow opportunity to conceal things in them if you smooth out the lines, so as women in general have curves that men in general to not, they would have greater flexibility.

21:50 "I agree with your first comment... Sorry" seeing Shad process what he said while they hold in a laugh was GOLD

[@АйбулатИсхаков]

Shad being out of words is hilarious!

[@Grungy1]

The 3 blade throwing knives. Yes they will cut you if you throw it. I know from experience 😅

[@Stop_Gooning]

I've always kinda wanted to make something like that using real knives.

[@Grungy1]

You can get them at just about any flea market or Mall knife shop

[@Stop_Gooning]

@@Grungy1 80% of the fun is making it yourself.

[@Shizzzzzza]

The most effective way to use these is to run

[@afrightenedsloth]

I can’t tell you how long I’ve had the claw hammer flail in my pictures on my phone.

[@StressLevel100]

I would love to see more of these edited down livestreams for the people who miss them (aka me lol).

[@vondarkmoor4280]

I have a Idea/request , Id like to see your opinion on household items as weapons or armour in a zombie apocalypse, be it traditional slow zombies or more modern fasr zombie.

[@poluticon]

wow, those are horrible. I want them all.

[@cantonlowlifemedia]

I actually had the 3 bladed "fidget spinner" you were talking about at around 13:00. One of you even mentioned that the individual blades would make a decent knife, and that's what I did with mine!

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

You guys should order some of the most weirdest and test them out for "practicality" :D

[@RealSeanithan]

That very first picture with the three knives: the one on top is definitely modeled after the Morrowind version of the daedric dagger.

[@robertjensen1438]

Just a comment for the algorithm

[@DarthPraennox]

Nice

[@treyowen9213]

FOR THE ALGORITHM!!

[@theperfectbotsteve4916]

I like the idea of some crazy person holding one of those and some guy with any form of practical wepon just coming up and stabbing them lol

YEAH MORE MALL NINJA WEAPONS

[@arrowrandoman]

This is probably a really bizarre take, but I feel like some of the Mall Ninja style could work for weapons used by some shapeshifter/slime-folk fantasy race. Such a creature would be capable of handling such unique handle and blade configurations. Yeah, this could work in a story so long as it's set in the right context.

[@DH-xw6jp]

Like the Halo energy sword being specifically designed for an Elite's 3 fingered hand.

[@un7n0wing85]

Based on literally nothing but speculation, but a slime could probably use a polarm style weapon better than most of these weird grips. The creature could get a really solid grip on the long shaft by just stabbing it through the middle of its body and it wouldn't have to worry as much about the blade rotating in its grip, if it was swinging fast enough.

[@arrowrandoman]

@Un7n0wing Totally. I was thinking that it would be interesting because slime-folk would be the only ones to handle these kind of weapons, so they wouldn't have to worry about getting their stuff stolen and used against them. I love the polearm idea though.

[@BayWa4eva]

​@@un7n0wing85 how does slime folk create nearly enough force for that weapon without bones? mall ninja weapons would be far better. with spikes and blades everywhere you just need to get close and the clunky thing does it by itself.

[@theairwaybat1830]

This takes me back to the early 2000's at northtown mall in spokane, wa...the store was spartan cutlery...and they always had some of the most ridiculous bladed gems there. Oh memories 😭

[@outlawsamurai47]

22:30 quickly call the saw doctors he's having a sword stroke

[@graverob1910]

Great video, as always, sir. I’d wish you good luck in your struggle against Jack Saint, but Jack really only fights with Straw Men, so I think you’ve got this.

[@fngrusty42]

Question . Why, there are pictures but do they really sell. What could they be used for. Strange blades for sure

[@Stop_Gooning]

I used to have a roommate who collected mall ninja weapons and I think he mostly just thought they looked cool. I had recently gotten a San Mai tanto knife that I absolutely love to death and he was like "eh, kinda boring isn't it?"

[@markfergerson2145]

Japanese iron staff = tetsubo. You’re welcome. There is a point at which disgust loops back to awe. Some of those… things… hit that point. They’re like train wrecks. They’re horrifying but it’s hard to look away.

[@pieandcheese647]

Hearing you talk about zombies around 10-11 minutes in made me think of the apocalypse staple lawnmower blade swords. Any idea if we may at some point get to see improvised apocalypse swords and how they fare against regular swords? I know the regular sword is far more optimized than improvised blades but I’m curious how drastic the difference would be.

[@babilon6097]

Oh. I really hoped it's a continuation of that live stream. It was hilarious!

[@TX_WayWay]

OMG I love this video, I am a custom wood carver and make functional spiked clubs and when I saw this crap I fell over laughing.

[@Stop_Gooning]

Nice! I made my first ever spiked club today. I started with a 4"x36" piece of pine trunk, made it vaguely baseball bat shaped and set in some spikes made from 3/8" round bar cut at an angle. The resin is still curing so I haven't tested it out yet, but I'm going to absolutely DESTROY a watermelon and some coconuts tomorrow!

[@TX_WayWay]

@@Stop_Gooning that’s awesome I’m using oak fish bats about 16” overall, and carving spirals, and brick work onto them. I set 1/4 carbon cleet spikes threaded in and glue set with epoxy, and finished with stain.

[@caseymauldin8396]

Your mall ninja weapon videos are always a treat.

[@lockwoan01]

Then there's me, who decides to go to the local hardware/outdoor places, and pick up a bunch of big knives, machetes, hatchets, and other such things.
