He was training weapon skill in case he got an end game item later.
With the amount of money he spent on melee weapons, he probably could’ve bought a few more magazines instead of carrying around loose ammo in bags and boxes
Also: “cache of weapons”. This is a terrible cache.
The home made whip thing looks cool though.
It's the blowtorch for repairing turrets?
yea like one or two good melee weapons would at least sort of make sense, but this is like some high school's 'locker check day' haul of shit 16 year olds made out of boredom. i guess we are lucky that the kind of person that would plan better isn't the kind of person that would do something like this.
i seriously mistook the duct tape whip for an inflatable plug at first
I didn't know such device existed.
Whatever the duct tape thing is, I was 70% sure it was for sex things
"Why do you need a knife on you at all times?"

Literally no human outside of like five specific cities in Europe where packages apparently open themselves by magic has ever asked that question in good faith since we invented knives six million years ago.
I have a very distinct memory of my first lab job in undergrad, this random very old man came in to talk to my boss, and he stopped and watched me work for a second and goes “Where’s your knife?” To which I’m confused and he says “Every biologist’s gotta have a good knife” and pulled out a very nice very sharp pocket knife which did help with whatever it was I was doing.
I still haven’t bought myself a nice knife. I guess I’m not a true biologist yet.
Lab partner: hand me a sterile scraper/scalpel
Me: smirks "I don't use 'em kiddo."
pulls out tactical knife and flame lick it with a paracord wrapped zippo
I gaurantee you that old biologist had an ancient buck knife or something. There was a world before tech dorks made the contents of their pockets thei personality and their will be a world after.
Strongly reccomend a leatherman wave. Lots of useful tools including a regular and serrated knife, and study enough for some light hammering in a pinch. Don't leave home without one.
I open my packages at home, mostly using a scissor. If I open packages at work, they provide a box cutter to do it. There's zero reason for 99% of people in a urban setting to walk around with a knife.
There's even less reason for the office workers over at r/EDC cosplaying batman daydreaming about some hostage situation and they finally get to use their backup multi-tool strapped to their ankle to undo the screws on a went and crawl out like they're Lethal Weapon.
Dork.
I will never understand this attitude. I wouldn't anymore leave the house without a pocket knife than I'd leave without pants and having the capabilities that a leatherman or even just a basic knife offers has been consistently beneficial.
sounds like your work should be providing you with a cutting implement
What if there's a tactical scenario. What if there's simply no time for the operator to walk to the car, open the glove compartment/toolbox and return withing the crucial time frame. What if they don't get that cable tie off in less than 5 seconds, we're all going to die. What if there are just seconds to make a decisions and act on it. What then?
I use it at home too. It’s just useful. Don’t see why it’s so controversial lol.
My favorite part is that he was driving around with this in his car, and the fuckin PR officer is immediately like "THIS IS WHY OUR SUBWAYS ARE SO DANGEROUS" and the subways arent even dangerous. get fucked piggy
No way would those cops have been able to stop him if he had had a katana. Katanas work both in close range combat and at range (just tie it to a rubber band and throw it), it's basically like a cheat code. He would have been invincible.
Yeah but if the cops did somehow stop him, then the cops would have a katana. If they were to then find out about youtube videos showing how to do kenjutsu, revolution would become impossible
That's a danger, but katanas can only be made by folding steel. American cops cannot fold steel, so they would just have the one katana. They would probably give it to the president, so he would be untouchable, but he can't be everywhere at once. And since a katana will break if you act dishonorably I don't even know how long that would last.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.
Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.
Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.
Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.
Be realistic, if American soldiers had targeted men armed with freaking katanas the war would have ended right there with the defeat of the US. They are that sharp. Must not have run into them. Either way, not exactly something that cops could deal with.
Sorry, I assumed people would recognize the infamous "Katanas are underpowered in d20" copypasta.
they don't want u to know this buT MOONVEIL SPAM WORKS IRL

yea chief rocks you keep in your pocket to throw at innocent people, that's why we had to book him
oh yeah ok that makes sense thanks for protecting and serving
Don't forget pocket peanuts, they count as biological weapon against angloids
This is what my stash looks like in extremely-early-game Death Must Die. Broseph is just trying to figure out his build
