    Those things are actually pretty kickass and I want one. But yes to answer your question it's definitely mall ninja shit.

    Compared with expandable baton, it can increase hit power

    I have to wonder about that as some energy transfer will be lost to the shaft flexing.
    I'd love to see someone test a "tactical whip" like that vs a baton built to the same size and weight, just solid.

    Wouldn't. A solid, non flexible rod transmit more energy?

    11 points Historical-Profit134

    Yes, you can learn about Manchu bows. The more difficult it is to flex, the more elastic potential energy it stores.

    Nah, this is similar to a blackjack. You whip with it instead of just hitting. Pretty devestating. Check your local laws though, these may be illegal to carry around.

    Yes but not by a lot. The important part is to get the mass moving. Check for videos comparing a mace to a flail. The benefit of a flexible shaft is reduced recoil to the user's hand

    I’m not super versed in physics, but I think the flex multiplies the force to a certain degree. Idk for sure. Maybe someone smarter will weigh in

    This looks like Industrial type shit someone working at a factory made into a mace. I'm not a gun type person, I have a goofy machete that will absolutely scare someone by my bed, so this isn't the stupidest thing Ive ever seen.
