Fight Science - Weapon Tests

Weapon Tests

All weapons were rated on range, control and impact.

• Eskrima sticks and the bō were revealed to show extension of range and good control, but would break if sufficient impact was delivered.
• The nunchaku and the three section staff showed good extension, but it was revealed to be out of control for a fraction of a second after striking an opponent and some of the impact was absorbed due to its flexibility.
• Shuriken and Bows were really only effective at long-range rather than close-up because once the shuriken was thrown or the arrow released, it was completely out of the user's hands.
• Swords originally came in two variants: stabbing (like a rapier) or slashing (like a scimitar), but the katana was proven to be highly effective at both.
