You can't really beat bamboo spears in terms of cost-effectiveness, right?>requirements: bamboo, stick cutting tool, fire>cut bamboo>heat-treat the tip to harden it>you now have an urban youth poking stickImagine being a zoomer trying to rob an old man for some easy cash and he shouts "TENNOHEIKA BANZAI" and fucking charges at you.
>>65118599For old man self-defence purposes it is kinda hard to conceal and carry around in day-to-day life
>>65118604It's for home defense.For an EDC, you just get a sturdy walking/dog-beating stick and carry that.
>>65118599Its the modern age, people have cars and vehicles of all sorts so you need the shaped charge on bamboo stick
>>65118599he needs a bandana for max psychological warfare
>>65118651What if they made an atl-atl so you can throw the sparwithout blowing yourself up
>>65118651>rooka gaijin, witness me!!!Immortan Tojo was ruthless as fuck
>>65118708They weigh about 14lb/nearly 7kg so you're going to need to be a big boy atl-atl to huck it at someone. Sort of the other problem with shaped charges is you really want it perpendicular to the striking surface for maximum fuck and being japan, they're all about the maximum fuck
Give me a Japanese division armed with bamboo spears and I'll wipe out the entire Russian Far Eastern Army.
>>65118599>Bamboo spear had been in the open, leaning against a wall for 20 years prior to the robbery.>Everyone thought it was just a stick.
>>65118708Bad aerodynamics. The front produces too much drag and causes toe spear to tumble. You're better off with an anti-tank grenade.
>>65118745Are they girls?
>>65118938Depends. How close are you looking?

>>65118599>real showa hours.jpgBased showashit. Japan has declined.
>>65118599It's crazy to think about it, but you can get actual forests of ready-to-go spears that you can EASILY replace with Bamboo forests. Like China, Korea, and Japan had amazing harsh laws about how commoners and peasants weren't allowed to own weapons because they knew the plebs could just arm themselves with bamboo spears in times of trouble.
>>65118604Don't mind me, sonny, just getting some water from the well.
>>65118599You're white, why are you even thinking about "cost effectiveness".
