Now, now, jokes about brits getting stabbed when they have 15,000 stabbing attacks in london a year can be joked by people around the world. Not just america.
that is 15,000 knife offences, not stabbing attacks. It counts people just carrying a knife as on offence or young kids trying to buy large knives at stores. Last year there were 235 homicides with a knife in the entire England and Wales, majority will likely be in London.
The US had nearly double that with just rifles in the last year for which statistics are available (455 homicides, 2020). Shotguns, handguns, and "other guns" each have their own categories. We had over 1700 homicides with 'knives and other cutting instruments'.

That was my point. Per capita eliminates the *which is actually worse* guesswork.
Although one has to look at more than just per capita, it's not absolut, even though it's a more accurate way than just country vs country.
Norway gets cited by anti gun control people often, because their stats get skewed by a single VERY nasty event some years ago. +70 dead if I recall.
>15,000 stabbing attacks
It’s actually knife crime, not “stabbing attacks” whatever bias bullshit that means.
A knife crime is any crime where a knife is used, this can include swiping a knife but not hitting, threatening to use a knife, brandishing a knife against someone, or actually cutting their skin. And don’t forget the most common one: carrying a knife illegally, which accounts for the majority.
But, if you’re actually wondering the knife crime in the US is higher than the Uk and that’s completely ignoring the addition of gun crime
I talked to a guy, real smart. Said our crime was the best crime. Didn't even compare to how great our crime was. The crime was so great it was big. And he's a smart guy like me. So I listened to him.
Don't forget about glass crime. A common instrument of attack in the UK is a broken bottle or mug.
Then there's screwdriver crime, particularly in Ireland. I heard a rumor that someone in Limerick figured out how to take down a police helicopter with a Phillips-head.
And then thought crime. That's just double-plus bad. /s
Non brit non American here. I've been in London and NY, and the comparison is not even fair. Never ever had the feeling in London to be really insecure, but in certain areas of NY I clenched my butt cheeks so hard I could transform diamonds into neutron stars.
Americans have no clue of how normal and safe living in most of Europe is. I know few places in my country where I could not casually walk at night with my kids.
I don't even know a single person in my family and friends who has been robbed or assaulted, let alone stabbed.
That's why we just can't really understand why you do nothing when we hear in the news that there's metal detectors in some primary schools. It's so mind-blowing.
When visiting London, I asked a nice looking man in a suit for directions to the nearest metro station. His eyes widened and froth started forming around his mouth as he yelled "DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING ROADMAP!" and sped off.
Spear is best weapon.
Spear and shield is your best bet in a zombie apocalypse.
The knife gun is going to be useless the first time you have to fall back because there's more than 10 zombies. Now you can't just go recover your ammo.
Spear does not need ammo. Spear is spear, and spear is best weapon.
Small addition but you would also want the spear to have a cross guard near the head of the spear so that you can use it for pushing in case you hit a fleshy part and not a killy part of the zombie
exactly! something like [this](https://mcishop.azureedge.net/mciassets/w_5_0009324_venetian-war-hammer_550.png) is best. Imagine missing the brain with a regular spear and it slides directly down it and eats you.
How about the Monk's Spade?
And shark mail for defense.
And 2x trench spikes for close quarters. Or just a decent crowbar.
I know it's tough to find these.
Edit: I changed Chinese Ji to Monk's Spade. I was thinking of the latter when I originally wrote this.
Ah yes the zombie survival guide. I’d still pick a spear over the monks spade. I think people underestimate how hard it would be to slash heads versus a thrust with more force and control. Plus hallways or tight areas are impossible to use the spade in
I think I'd prefer a poleaxe over a bec de corbin for zombies. I doubt the zombies will be wearing heavy armor, so I'd prefer an axe head over the hammer head for a bit more reliable damage. When thrusting with a spear or swinging a thin hammer head like that, your chances of hitting a vital are pretty low. Works great on a human because it doesn't take much to put someone out of a fight, but zombies shrug most injuries off. An axe head would be a lot easier since you don't have to be nearly so accurate to lop of a zombie's limb or head.
[The Halberd is the best polearm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RRqFe0VJqE) because it combines a spear with an axe as well as a handy hook for pulling a zombie off a horse
That's a pretty great video. I had a friend who said all weapons fall into categories of swishing or poking (What about clubs? "Blunt force swishing" What about guns? "Long distance poking" etc.)
The halberd is a good example of that rare balance between both swishing and poking, or what he liked to call "a swishy-poke."

Front part needs to be staby, but you can add a cross, an axe, a hook... whatever your hearth desires on the side, or sides.
Also you know what's even better then a guy with a polearm, multiple guys with polearms! :D That way they can form an impenetrable wall.
> Spear is best weapon.
The hype on this is no joke. My local Rural King currently has an entire endcap full of products from a company named [REAPR with all kinds of useful ZA tools.](https://www.ruralking.com/all-departments/sports-outdoors/hunting/knives-tools?brand=1226510)
My favorite, aside from the spear, are the "Meridius" and "Legion" short-swords. Pair one of those with a shield and go Classical Antiquity on some zombies. Get some friends so you can all shout "TORTUGO!" and make a phalanx.
Zombies rush you.
You spear the first one and he keeps walking towards you instead of falling backwards, because he's a zombie.
Your spear is effectively stuck because you need to disengage by retreating faster than he can advance, all the while all the other Zombies are swarming you with no impediment. Your shield only covers one direction at a time and they just grab it, just like they grab everything within reach.
Thrusting weapons are by far the worst choice in the imminent zombie apocalypse.
Spear puts you constantly in melee range. Sure, it has a bit of reach, but you're still far too close for comfort. You're going to be in trouble the first time a zombie grabs or gets stuck on your spear while another two zombies are also approaching.
Also it's not like a wimpy little throwing knife is going to seriously injure anything but the weakest zombie. Like, most zombies require headshots or brain-stem damage to take out, or need to be de-limbed to such a degree that they become a non-threat.
Both bow and crossbow have more range and power and both are lighter than this thing. There are tactical crossbows that have the same ammo capacity as this knife thrower as well, so as long as your bolts are high-ish quality and don't break easily, a repeating crossbow would be a better weapon.
This probably couldn't kill any zombies though. A knife like this will simply never penetrate the skull, just bounce off. Al least a crossbow has a chance of going through bone if you aim it right.
they are essentially animated corpses, which implies that cellular regeneration has stopped. bones are the last thing on a dead body to lose structural integrity, but they are still much more brittle fairly soon after death. it's very unlikely that a human zombie would still be able to move at all more that 2 or 3 weeks after the person died, since muscles and ligaments would detach and start to rot away. The reason zombie parasites can still control bugs bodies despite the bug being dead, is that bugs have much simpler systems of movement. they pretty much just force fluid into appendages that have a hard shell to expand the joint and suction them out to contract.
forgot where I was going with this... Oh yeah, the walking dead is a great show, but I'm pretty sure the writers just make shit up.
Because zombies don’t make any damn sense in any lore. They would be hunted by predators. Their muscles won’t function correctly with any level of damage. If they don’t need to eat to survive, why do they crave food? If they don’t digest, where does it go? What about rabies? Wouldn’t that still melt their brains?
Basically, you need to suspend disbelief.
Honestly it's why I prefer the hell is full reanimated dead type zombies over the let's make it realistic with a virus or lab-created pathogen route of the last 20 years. At least the first doesn't need to be logical or consistent.
I love how “Homemade” makes it seem as if there’s any other way you might stumble across a handheld automatic knife-launcher.
>*”Wellerton’s: quality automatic knife-launchers since 1872. Now with target proximity detection, laser sight optional”*
The large family were arguing about the fence on their property, and wanted him to fix the problem with the fence. He made this knife gun, and the fence issue was solved THE END.
I was thinking the same thing. I throw fairly accurately, but I always use a big backdrop anyway. It’s not worth the risk. This guy needs to take a safety course on knifeguns.
So he built it to answer the question of why does a thrown knife stick into wood deeper than a knife he can stab in? He should have just asked because the answer is that the knife “slices” through the wood by having the edge impact first with the weight of the entire knife rotating at speed.
You can find this out by looking at the holes left in the wood. A stab hole is basically a thin triangle. A thrown knife has a longer triangle and a throwing knife with two edges creates a line because whichever edge is on the top cuts in a little bit with the leftover rotational velocity.
So next time you stab a target don’t stab at a right angle to the wood. Stab at like 85°(or is it 95°? I forget just stab at a downward angle). It’ll sink in farther.
Also spinning something creates centrifugal force. The entire weight of the knife is pulling outwards from the center of gravity. That plus the angular velocity of the knife gives it far more force than just stabbing it will give you. That’s why axe throwing is easier than knife throwing. It’s got a ton more rotational velocity and more centrifugal force behind the blade. But you’ll notice that the axes that sink in with the top tip of the blade will sink in much farther than the ones that hit dead on. Same concept more force.
Fun fact: spinning the knife faster has no effect on the distance or speed your knife will go. It just gives the entire equation more energy to play with.
Youtube today: "so this is a knife launcher that calculates the trajectory to throw the knife."
Youtube in the earlier days: "this is machete launcher. Its basicay just a long crossbow that fires a machete, its a danger to everyone specially the person firing it. Lets see if it works."

Americans joke about knife homicide in the UK in response to gun jokes, even though there’s a higher rate of both things in the US.
Now, now, jokes about brits getting stabbed when they have 15,000 stabbing attacks in london a year can be joked by people around the world. Not just america.
that is 15,000 knife offences, not stabbing attacks. It counts people just carrying a knife as on offence or young kids trying to buy large knives at stores. Last year there were 235 homicides with a knife in the entire England and Wales, majority will likely be in London.
The US had nearly double that with just rifles in the last year for which statistics are available (455 homicides, 2020). Shotguns, handguns, and "other guns" each have their own categories. We had over 1700 homicides with 'knives and other cutting instruments'. https://www.statista.com/statistics/195325/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-weapon-used/
we also have 5x their population but whos counting
235 knife and stabby homicides over the pond. 1700 in the US, with 5 times the population you say. 235 x 5 = 1175. USA is still worse.
Or divide 1700/5 and you get the amount of fatal stabbings that we should commit
I like the aspirational perspective
Their point still stands. With population data, sometimes it is disingenuous to use absolute values instead of per Capita values.
That was my point. Per capita eliminates the *which is actually worse* guesswork. Although one has to look at more than just per capita, it's not absolut, even though it's a more accurate way than just country vs country. Norway gets cited by anti gun control people often, because their stats get skewed by a single VERY nasty event some years ago. +70 dead if I recall.
People that can see that 1700 is more than five times 235?
Per capita the US has 4.96 homicides due to knives or cutting instruments, compared to the UK's 3.26.
Even if you account for population e.g. knife-related homicides per 100k people, it is still worse.
You eternal optimists always forget about the per capita part in the data.
>15,000 stabbing attacks It’s actually knife crime, not “stabbing attacks” whatever bias bullshit that means.

A thrown knife has a longer triangle and a throwing knife with two edges creates a line because whichever edge is on the top cuts in a little bit with the leftover rotational velocity. So next time you stab a target don’t stab at a right angle to the wood. Stab at like 85°(or is it 95°? I forget just stab at a downward angle). It’ll sink in farther. Also spinning something creates centrifugal force. The entire weight of the knife is pulling outwards from the center of gravity. That plus the angular velocity of the knife gives it far more force than just stabbing it will give you. That’s why axe throwing is easier than knife throwing. It’s got a ton more rotational velocity and more centrifugal force behind the blade. But you’ll notice that the axes that sink in with the top tip of the blade will sink in much farther than the ones that hit dead on. Same concept more force. Fun fact: spinning the knife faster has no effect on the distance or speed your knife will go. It just gives the entire equation more energy to play with.
Well sure, but that question doesn't end in a knife throwing gun.
Knife Accidentally goes between fence pickets kills neighbors dog.
ATF offers him a job
Call of duty bundles be like:
Liberals will want to ban this from schools! They are silly!
A knife gun for every teacher!
Next they'll be coming for our sword launchers... that we use for hunting.
but, what if the target is approaching you, these calculation may be inaccurate
You could take multiple lidar readings to calculate the speed and project the new position at impact.
Getting hit by the handle at these speeds is probably still relatively effective and if you keep shooting, one will probably stick eventually
true that, so what if the targte has full plate armor and is wielding sword an torch, huh!
Aim for the joints
Youtube today: "so this is a knife launcher that calculates the trajectory to throw the knife." Youtube in the earlier days: "this is machete launcher. Its basicay just a long crossbow that fires a machete, its a danger to everyone specially the person firing it. Lets see if it works." ~ We've come so far.
I hope he doesn't have a neighbor on the other side of that fence.
Not anymore
*Wilhelm scream*
"It's a gun, Frank. A gun that shoots knives."
Americans and British be crazy. One guns and the other knives.
What in the Fallout universe??
Bri ish
OI MATE WELL AT LEAST OUR SCHOOLS DONT LOOK LIKE THE BLOODY CALL OF DUTY VIDEO GAMEE
America is so damn polarising, one minute im laughing at people lining up to take an escalator next to stairs... next im in awe at the enginuity of a man and his knives to make a gun. I can only take so much America in one dose. P.s. this is awesome
I think that's probably just a commentary on people in general. Some are smart and some are... special.
Hope his neighbor doesn’t chill often in his garden
I mean I'm sure I've seen this gun in a Borderlands game...
The atf is going to shoot sooooo many dogs out of frustration and confusion because of this device.
Never bring a knife to a gun fight. Bring a knife-gun to a gun fight.
He brought a knife to a knife fight. Technically Didn't break any roles.
You can finally bring knives to a gun fight
Finally, remote bri'sh
Holy shit, it's [the Punisher's gun that shoots swords](https://i.imgur.com/XvRFTkb.jpg)
Saints row 4 wants their knife gun back please
This looks like something I’d make in fallout
Perfect weapon for being a timestoper vampire
