Unfortunately, violence is a part of our lives. Many people can get violent and decide to attack us for reasons that don't make sense to us. However, we must be able to think quickly and use what we have around us to survive. These twelve everyday items may be your best weapons when you are being attacked. You might be surprised by how effective they really can be!
Twelve Everyday Items You Can Use As A Weapon Include:
Pot of Hot Coffee
Smash the pot into your attacker’s face. The blunt force will stun him, the shards of glass will embed in his kisser.
Coffee Mug
Throw the hot coffee from your mug into the attacker’s face and then proceed to bash him in his fleshy mug with caffeinated ferocity.
Fire Extinguisher
Spray the assailant in the face to temporarily distract him and disrupt his OODA Loop. While he’s figuring out what’s going on, forcefully bludgeon him in the head with the extinguisher’s canister.
A Pen
A stainless steel pen like this Zebra number can be used to stab an assailant. Hold it with an overhand grip and aim for vulnerable parts of the body.
Keys
Hold the keys in your hand so their points are coming out between the fingers of your fist. Proceed to punch your attacker in vulnerable parts of the body.
Locking Carabiner
If you want to use a carabiner as an improvised weapon, make sure it’s big enough to fit around your fist and has a locking collar.(to prevent it from snapping open while you punch a mo’ fo’). While aluminum carabineers should be able to withstand the impact, for added strength, use a steel one.
Wristwatch
Turn your metal wristwatch into a quick-n-dirty knucklebuster by holding the bracelet inside your fist, and positioning its face across your middle knuckles.
Aluminum Water Bottle
You want the bottle to have some liquid in it in order to give your makeshift club more heft and weight. Bash your assailant’s head and face with it.
Belt
First, you can use a belt the same way parents used to employ it on their kids back in the day—for whoopins. But unlike its use in dishing out old fashioned corporal punishment, you’re not going to hold back on your attacker. Give him the ass whoopin’ of a lifetime. Make sure he gets the buckle end of the belt. Aim for the face. The advantage of using a belt as an improvised bludgeon is not only the significant damage it can inflict, but the distance it allows you to put between you and your attacker.
Hornet Spray
Hornet spray is pepper spray on steroids. The former can usually shoot up to 20 feet and provides a much more directed stream than you find with the latter. The chemical used in hornet spray is much more potent than pepper spray and can potentially permanently blind an attacker.
One should only use it in life-threatening situations.
Flashlight
Maglite Heavy Duty D Cell flashlights make for a great makeshift billy club, and many specialized tactical flashlights end with a serrated or toothed bezel that can be used as an improvised striking device during an attack. After you’ve shined the bright light of a high-powered flashlight in your attacker’s eyes and disoriented him, strike his face with the toothed bezel as hard as you can.
Smartphone
Tightly grasp your smartphone in your hand and slam the edge and corners of it into vulnerable parts of the body like the eyes, nose, and neck.
You could also put your phone in a sock or other piece of clothing to make an improvised sap.
Wow! There are so many ways to turn everyday items into weapons when you need them. You can throw a hot mug or pot of coffee in someone face and then hit them with it. You can spray them with a fire extinguisher and then hit them with it. You can attack them in the face or throat with your car keys. You can even use hornet spray in place of pepper spray to blind them. Your attacker won't stand a chance when you use these items as weapons.
