      ​​@@jonathanbowen3640air enough, but a non-locking design is better for another reason. If you thrust with one that locks, miss, and it is bumped or deploys when you pull back on your thrust, it is now locked closed with your target not inside.
      If it didn't lock, a simple thrust would reopen it. It would stay closed as long as you apply constant pressure to your target anyway, no need for a lock.

    The grasping mechanism could probaby be upgraded to provide greater control with a spring loaded ratcheting mechanism. This would let you close it further, and if you have some sort of trigger the springs could allow it to snap open if they force it closed.

    Ratchets instead of lockpins so not only can it catch people slightly too big/around larger areas like a torso, but can progressively trap people who are fighting against the jaws before they manage to shut.
    Trigger on the handle for quickrelease and springload open so you can reset it after a miss/just letting the person go

    One point (no pun intended) about your design, the tips should be flared and/or rubberised. Mostly people you'd try to catch would attempt to sidestep, so they're likely to land on the tip. Mancatchers used in China (all?) have tips designed to prevent accidentally impaling a suspect. But it's a great design idea

      Except it’s not the police’s job to save every junkie from themselves. The junkie chose to take bath salts and run rampant. The police are there to protect innocent civilians. Any criticism about how they protected the innocent is valid. Criticizing them when a drug addict goes wild and ends up dying because of a police encounter is not. It was a taser, those things are 1000x more likely to not even work than to kill someone. Its 50/50 on whether they work right or do nothing. That death was likely a freak accident, that frankly the junkie brought on himself by going on a bath salt rampage. It’s sad but everyone is accountable for their own actions, and that man chose to do what he did.

      Drop the Bass what if they have at least 2 knives? Bet you feel real stupid now. A criminal with many knives would be nigh unstoppable, imagine being a policeman armed with a glorified stick going up against a man with like 8 knives, that’s 7 knives they can throw at you without being disarmed. That’s like 7 whole chances for you to at worst die or at best maybe get a little bruise or something and they won’t even be done fighting. I don’t even want to think about what someone with 9 or more knives could do.

  • @geraldpfeffer
    @geraldpfeffer Před 11 měsíci

    I am trying to think of complicating factors besides the obvious things of training, cost, distribution, and the eagerness or lack thereof for the people to adapt to them.
    1. A concern of mine is portability. How easy would it be to carry it around, put it in your car, take it out of your car, and the like. My first thought was the possibility of a collapsing mechanism like an extendable baton, but I recall reading that extendable batons have a lot of trouble with durability due to their construction being hollow and their use being blunt force. In addition, I can see the ability to rapidly deploy the extendable man catcher as a potential issue.
    Anyone in the comments have any potential complications they want discused or any potential solutions?

    • @geraldpfeffer
      @geraldpfeffer Před 11 měsíci

      A complication I thought of but realized was a bad idea. The thought was that the assaulter could bang down on the stick as hard as they could, lowering the place where the officer was pushing causing them to stumble forward due to pressing against air instead of a solid mass. Then I realized that is where the feet are and that would have you face plant right into the ground

      I'd imagine you want them to do that, because it leaves them defenseless! Knife attackers are generally impulsive ones (few people put a lot of planning into picking up a knife and going around stabbing people), and most likely not trained in proper knife throwing. So they would be unlikely to seriously harm someone, plus they'd have no more weapons.

    You can simply do that by grabbing it, stepping back and moving to the side.

    Nice invention that’s awesome! Depending on the setup I think that would be an awesome idea. An even more less than lethal option like a taser. Plus tasers suck 66% of the time don’t work.

    Downsides:
    The long handle will keep the wielder of a melee weapon out of range, but not the wielder of a gun.
    Fitting one of these in a patrol car trunk would be a pain, unless a telescoping handle could be designed. This would weaken the handle.
    Upsides:
    The pole design can be stored compactly with other mancatchers in SWAT vans.
    In extreme situations, a shield can be affixed to the handle, allowing the be of both worlds (distance and protection).
    Conclusion - Deploy mancatchers for crowd control such as clearing protests or riots.

      master musashi teaches not to rely on the length of a weapon, less maneuverable and easily countered in a 1v1 by a skilled tachi wielder. they also arent as useful in multiple combat scenarios. lets say spear vs bow, spear user will be at an insurmountable disadvantage. tachi vs bow with its quick movement options while still at a disadvantage has a greater chance of deflecting the arrow and using the window to close distance. in large scale warfare the spear only only excelled when protected by shield walls, due to its all out attack and low strength ( easily broken especially against armor.) Hammers maces and blunt weapons are what truly dominated battlegrounds due to the quick rise of maneuverable full body armor, but before that yes it was spears protected by walls of shields.

    I feel like a right angle handle, like the ones on some batons, would make it easier to us. The wielder would have a lot more power and control, it would be harder to yank it out of the cops hands.
