nuff said. debate over.

Yeah it looks pretty, yeah you can brag about it to your friends. But lets face it, such a tool is not only technically exorbitantly expensive, it is also quite useless. Harder to throw and heavier than a discus or shotput = useless.

While nobody is going to go and start complaining that "Naruto is unrealistic" (no shit! breathing fire, summoning giant frogs, a man controlling sand) because it is painfully obviously unrealistic, let's stop pretending that we can live out these fantasies. You can't, nobody can. That's life.

You want to learn how to use a weapon that few employ but that can save your ass in dire straits, go take some serious martial arts and learn how to use a switchblade or some other small cutting tool. Won't escalate the situation like a gun will, but can rearrange a face or swing the tides of a mugging/one-sided fight in a heartbeat, also much easier to conceal.
