TRUNCHEON WIKI -
A truncheon or baton (also called a cosh, Paddy wacker, billystick, billy club, nightstick, sap, blackjack, stick) is essentially a stick of less than arm's length, usually made of wood, plastic, or metal, and carried by law-enforcement, corrections, security, and (less often) military personnel for less lethal self-defense, as well as control and to disperse combative and non-compliant subjects. A truncheon may be used to strike, jab, block, and aid in the application of armlocks. Truncheons are used to a lesser extent by non-officials because of their easy concealment, and are outlawed in many jurisdictions. They are also frequently used to rescue people who are trapped—for instance, in cars or buildings that are on fire, by smashing windows and doors.

HISTORY -
In the Victorian era, police in London carried truncheons about one foot long called bully clubs (from the word bully, a nickname for police officers). This impact weapon has developed into several varieties available today. The truncheon is a straitstick (see below) made from wood or a synthetic material, approximately 1.25 inches (32 mm) in diameter and 18 inches (460 mm)36 inches (910 mm) long, with a fluted handle to aid in gripping. Truncheons are often ornamented with their organizations' coats of arms. Longer truncheons are called "riot batons" because of their use in riot control.

Truncheons probably developed as a marriage between the club/mace and the staff of office/sceptre.

Straight batons of rubber have a softer impact. Some of the kinetic energy bends and compresses the rubber and bounces off when the object is struck. The Russian police standard-issue baton is rubber, except in places, such as Siberia, cold enough that the rubber can become brittle and break if struck.

A modern wooden baton.Until the mid 1990s, British police officers carried traditional wooden truncheons of a sort that had changed little from Victorian times. After the early 1990s, forces replaced truncheons with side-handle and collapsible batons for all but ceremonial duties.

Don't comment on my video's again, you have no idea what you are talking about, I have plenty of Courage and Humanity, i would never use these weapons,

Also are you really 43 ? because writing a comment like this makes me think you are really 12 or 13. I'm sure a 43yr old wouldn;'t be so rude, and if you are really 43 you should get a life and some manners,

These are just items i like to make or collect, they are not for "fighting" with, or using, its just a fun thing to make.

Good stuff, I like wood weapons. Thx.

[lukinu2]

first of all sweet weapons dude. awesome weapons. second of all i wanted to ask you a question. I recently made a spiked club (by the way , I am a beginner at this stuff) and hammered some nails onto one end but didnt drill the holes altough they seem pretty stiff. but since no zombies are around...at least not yet... i havent had time to try it out. do you think this would be reliable, or would it break with just one blow? tks. (the wood is pretty thick by the way)
