SAPS, BLACKJACKS AND SLUNGSHOTS: A HISTORY OF FORGOTTEN WEAPONS, THE BOOK tells the story of the most forgotten weapons from history for the first time in history.
2018 Independent Author Network Awards... Finalist Non-Fiction, History. Amazon #1 New Release in 3 categories.
Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Al Capone, William Shakespeare, Jules Verne, Hank Williams and Frank Sinatra are just some of the notable people that are encountered in this wide ranging and previously undiscovered tale. The book was exhaustively researched and is, I am told, quite entertaining.

I (literally) wrote the book on these weapons so who better to review this wonderfully ridiculous video?

Kusarigama How To Drill, Walking and Turning
Medieval maces are made of bronze
There are 6 known films of the Kennedy Assassination. The FBI destroyed 3 of them when they were turned over. 3 still exist. One shows the final shot coming from the knowl.
Excellent content. Great Interview. Fascinating that her mom had a studio across the street from the Texas Theater, and saw Oswald being arrested.
Love these videos I have over 50 saps,slung shots and saps in my collection and love hearing about the history of them all.
I think at the end when he's talking about "what this thing here is for" he's talking about his guitar... right after he says the line "what this thing here is for" he pauses singing and strums his guitar in a new little pattern that is different from the rest of his strumming in the song... that's just what i've always assumed... just a thought
amazing concept for edc....and really beautiful, rgeetings from germany
Agreed on both counts! I just finished reading a graphic novel by a German… never knew bread was such a huge part of the culture. Told a woman from Germany and she was like, oh yeah.
Great analysis. Once again showing how effective these weapons could be and how overlooked they are compared to the amount of attention given to firearms and bladed weapons. (Not saying that saps, brass knuckles, blackjacks, etc are as deadly as guns and knives - but, as you point out, that's by design. And they do exactly what they were designed to do very, very well.)
Thanks and well said about the weapons.
The geriatric 2 female leads are the reason I roasted this movie into oblivion, whoever cast them is a moron.
I like the way you described this movie threw the eyes of a big wig fat cat in the industry who doesn't understand the franchise.
Thanks. I've never worked in a studio but I have had plenty of time with the corporate type.
@@ObjectHistory i have a lot of experience in film and television and the beginning sounded like a meeting I was in once.
@@Zane-It Wow, sad and funny at the same time.
I'm watching it at the moment, one episode left to watch. I'm not disappointed it's been cancelled, it's very poor.
Yep- all culture war garbage aside... just not a well-made show IMO
ye olde shortstop (shorstop is a tf2 wepaon based on cop 357 for those who live under a rock)
My son loved this comment
@@ObjectHistory lol nice
Tell me you don't know anything about drugs without telling me etc... The badge of the cop is never "shown" it's just known. Cops buy drugs all the time; he's a repeat customer. Coonskin cap guy is (as you imply) a straight-laced person, so the "need 11 only got 10" means that dude is pretending to help but not, like a motel clerk up-charging so he can't be let in, or any number of ways people fake sympathy then claim the price is too high. Your contextual understanding of 1965 is really weak. Worthy exploration of a great song, looking forward to a (shorter) follow-up with more primary sources and fewer grasps and guesses.
check out REN
I kinda wish he had reached out to do a collab with you
That would have been awesome.
I just saw a colt banker in .38 for 700 I’m going to call them and get it for sure.
Cool
Not bad could have used less opinionated commentary. But overall not bad
Great video
Thank you so much.
I'll tell you a story you'll enjoy. I was in Baltimore city jail. My best friend was in there with me. We were in a dorm. Im more the work-out and read books. My buddy is the gambler and joker. So one morning after breakfast everyone went back to sleep. Im in my bunk i hear boom boom boom. Im out of bed first boim i hear my boy talking shit. I round the bunk for the 3rd boom then one woosh. An the guy puts up his fist my boy says come on. Dude just falls face first. So the story goes. Guy was trying to steal from a old white guy. My boy was over there sitting by the wall. He was waiting for the old guy to get out the shower. The night before my boy said this guy was a theif he'd been locked up with him before. So we made a sock with 3 liza soap bars. They are small but not motel small. Any way he got 3 heavy shot the fourth was all powder. But it made homeboy go down and knotted his head up. He tried to pull the white boy attacked me. We were from the neighborhood that was on that teir. They took all his stuff and he checked in. The other weapon that was bad was a belt and lock. That is another story with a very sad ending. I also used a spring load it didn't do as i thought. Almost got killed with a pitchfork, yes it really happened. My dog and Girl saved me. Sadie the pitbull brought fear to all of westport. She didn't like Drugdealers. I have no idea why. Well i have a guess. Anyway Soap and a sock excellent weapon. My buddy was not a fighter and was super out of shape. Badguy was tall and thin and 20 to our being 35 year old bums.
this is such an awesome cross over, I watch both your and houstons videos and it was great to get a informative view on his goofy videos
Thanks! Funny, never about people that might watch both of our channels.
Laci Szabo has some synthetic Patus
Do you have a link?
Vulpes Training makes polymer patu,on etsy too.
I would have liked to have seen what a spring-loaded blackjack would have done lol
I thought about that too… Dear God… I think those hits would have to be in the 25% range only.
Fascinating insight. I'll look into this video.
Appreciate it.
Thank you for this work.
Thank you for watching.
Go watch James files interview he had an interview from when he was in prison 20 years ago, and he confessed to be in a shooter on the grassy knoll behind the fence. He sounds very convincing.
But Oswald had a revolver and Tippit was killed with an automatic
Blind Fury is the remake of a Zatoichi movie.
And there are 2 westerns (that I know of) starring blind gunmen.
That makes sense but I never actually knew! Thanks.
First comment and like 🤙
Awesome. Thanks.
the spiked mail in chivalry 2 is a favorite of mine, wish there was a way to get my hands on an irl version lol
I was 8 years old that day i remember that day like it was yesterday. I walk right by the grassy knoll with my dad and older brother to get into position to see jfk at the corner. I remember seeing a man in a gray jacket snoking a cigarette with a suitcase leaning against that tree very vividly. He looked right at me and he gave me a very bad feeling and its never left my memory even after the fbi was 100 percent certain lee was the shooter all these years that man with the breifcase still gives me a bad feeling. My dad and brother never noticed him and as soon as we heard shots my father rushed us back to his work and waited inside with the doirs locked for sone time
Thanks for posting Byran
So yeah posting on your latest video. I'm not sure if you've seen the CZcamsr Houston Jones but his CZcams channel is all about him getting hit with items. And he just released a video today of him getting hit with some different type of slap jacks. I would love to see you do a react video to that video. Or do a video talking about that video.
OMG, that's a great idea. I've watched his videos on and off over the years but didn't know about the recent sap one. Think I will make a reaction vid. Thanks.
In France they used rubber batons (and still do for riots) shortly after the huge riots of may 68. They’re still in use, they’re much, much longer though, I’d say about 70 cm which is like 28 inches. So the flexibility of the baton really comes into play, very painful strikes, they almost have a whipping motion, also they have the advantage of not breaking the skull as you’d risk it with a modern ASP baton, so very useful for riots when there’s a brawl, you don’t have to think about where to strike, you just strike, a lot.
Yes, you need to rinse artifical turf every now and then...
Maybe it isn't the world it holds on its shell. maybe it's that the great continents are there petrified shells of these colossal turtles.... Imagine, The land we all live on just super massive turtle shells petrified over time, the foundation for land on earth, then the firniment separated the waters above, and began the creation of life on earth... I'm guessing that's along the lines this video is heading... Haha I started this comment 30 seconds in soooooo
Great Analysis of a much loved song. Thanks. And yes the mic drop of '20 years of schoolin and they put u on a dayshift' is an absolute gem of a line. And he mined a few in that song.
Very glad you liked it. Had no idea when I started I'd be making such a long video on such a short song!

We have those in Chile, they are made from cactus
So was suze into protests.
Good video. I love the workmanship and ornate wood design. Even passenger cars back then are comparatively luxurious to bland and cramped travel spaces of today.
Thanks. Agreed, the work is gorgeous.
Great & informative video, thank you for creating and posting!
Appreciate that.
Khanjars were made in India by hindus artisans,and traded to persia thereafter mughals liked it and started to buy in 15-16th,later on mughal started to make theirs own khanjars with same designs.Koftgiri from india was early version of damascus kife,but it was not rated in india thus became famous in damascus.
My Dad used to be a police officer here in the UK, when he started, they were still using Lignum Vitea wooden batons like they did in the Victoria Era. Lignum Vitea is so dense that it sinks in water.
Axe may be Japanese
It is, someone else pointed that out. I found it when looking for useful images and it just said mountaineering axe. I'm going to incorporate into my video on the heart shape proper, pretty interesting that the Japanese and Native Americans both had that. I know of the European swords that do so needed to be educated about this part (had no idea).
@@ObjectHistory Also on Scottish Basket Hilts
That's a good one. Pewter, eh? Interesting...
Figured you'd like that one! I never knew the heads were sometimes pewter. Makes sense for a purely ceremonial one... why bother working with harder metal that's never going to cut anything?
Fascinating!
Glad you enjoyed it
That axe with two heart indents is actually a Japanese Ono axe. You can tell from the distinctive hammer side. Also it's not really a heart, it's a boar's snout, it's upside down. It's possible, I've seen a Plains Indian posing with his katana. Not sure where he got that though
@@yokaiou5848 Woah! I just saw that it was a, "mountaineering" axe. Wish I'd noticed the country of origin. I will definitely point that out in the follow up video about the heart shape. p.s. I've also seen that picture of the Native American with the katana.
Oh, wow...that braided convoy in the thumbnail sure brings back memories... Back in the late 70's all of those old school bulls carried blackjacks & they would part someone's hair with one in a heartbeat...
Ouch, nice bit of confirmation of what I'd read. Thanks!
Wait i have one question did people in the ancient times literally believe in the turtle world or is it just a metaphor used to describe the world?
I have a solution. And I’ve seen this method when ppl make necklaces out of them. What would you need is to those grooves in between each link that allows them to individually rotate. It keeps the chain fluid. Idk what exactly it’s called but you probably know what I’m talking about
Ah, that would make it much more useable. I'm not sure of the mechanics (e.g. how do you actually alter it to do that) myself but I'm not very handy.
