Bone weapons?


Question:
I've been thinking, what are the merits of creating weaponry from bone and not metals or composite materials?

Sure, there's the obvious answers, like being invisible to metal detectors and that the raw materials are far easier to scavenge, but what about, say, the fear factor?
I'd think it's put the fear of God into someone if you lunged at them with a sword made from a sharpened thigh bone. Moreso, anyway.

Perhaps the shaft could be wrapped with sinew for comfort. mind you, it'd make a bit of a mess. Best not to wear white.

This is all well and good, mind you, but what about durability? Are there any non-metallic compounds that could be used to strengthen or otherwise reinforce the bone so it wouldn't break when you plunge it through someone's ribcage?

Answers:
dumbass.. if it went through the metal detectors that's one thing.but not attaced to a spinal cord and skull.. you couldn't hide it in your pants. Unless it was detachable.Certain rock to make it harder might work but the problem then arises as to how to get it in there without compromising to structure andoverall indurance of bone. The sinew thing is alittle much cause when it dries out than it loodes the points of comfort. unless you dipped it in silicone. Siicone might be able to be used and ground up rock. So grind up rock.. poke a small hole through the base of the bone.get some hot silicone and leak it through the small hole to fill in the holes between the rock shards and bone. than seal up the hole with some cool esthetic like aroc that fits perfect..seal the edges.. rap the sinews dipped in silicone and dried around the bone now comes the question of how to keep ti wrapped around the bone. with the silicone dipped around it ishould be pretty easy to braid or knot or whatever at this point.than presto! i don't know it might work.I STILL THINK YOUR CRAZY AND I WOULDN'T DO IT BUT WHATEVER-AT NO POINT AM I PROMOTING THE KILLING OF ANYKIND!

You are my favorite freak on youqa.com Use yer brain man, gather a bunch of bones make em sharp and get yer butt kicked by teched out war frieks. Not a good idea.


A bone object/weapon would still be detected in a xray scan of your luggage.

to reinforce it you might try fiberglass, but since your original shaft is fragile to begin with, it would be sure to break.

Rather than a sword like instrument, you might be more successful with a club like instrument. My forefathers did a good job with clubs.

What's obvious here is that you're a child molester. Not to mention a complete idiot. Enchant it Aleister!


Like in Existenz you mean?
That would be pretty cool, especially since the mere sight of the weapon would completely freak out your opponent.
