~*~Genny ranks the weapons!~*~

1. An umbrella

I mean, this is really the best weapon you could possibly have outside of a crowbar in any kind of apocalypse. Not only is it able to keep your head dry on a rainy day, it can also be used for a variety of attacks! The point on the end can be used to stab, push, and parry enemy attacks so you can both injure and keep your distance at the same time! The umbrella also functions as a lightweight bludgeon you can use to thwack enemies for decent damage. Because the umbrella is mid- to long-range, the possibility of cheap shots to the eyeballs, groin, or vital organs are not outside the realm of possibility! As a last resort, the umbrella can even be shoved down an enemy's throat and inflated, causing instant suffocation as the lungs will be unable to take in oxygen if the airways are blocked.

Like I said, I'm set. ^_^

2. Toffee hammer

Another bludgeon, but unlike the umbrella this one is short-range and not multi-faceted. Still quite useful and perhaps a more effective thwacker than even the umbrella!

3. Laptop bag

A mid-range bludgeon. Not sure how effective this one would be without the actual laptop in it. Then again, you could always fill it up with rocks or something and swing away at enemies with it, causing damage equivalent to its weight. The only drawback is the heavier it gets, the harder it is to swing, wearing its wielder out.

4. A necktie

Our first weapon that cannot be used as an effective bludgeon! At first glance, the necktie might seem useless as f***, but this is a lie! It's deceptively harmless appearance belies an excellent strangling tool. If action movies have ever taught me a damn thing, it's that neckties can kill when placed in the right hands.

5. Timpani

Fear the cornered beatnik with the kettle drum... Looks like it's back to the bludgeons! These look just light enough to pick up and swing around, but gosh is that going to tire you out.

6. Nicoman action figure

The smaller this thing is, the better I think. A tiny action figure can be used to gouge eyes out, blinding an assailant or to jab enemies in sensitive areas. A larger action figure... notsomuch. As it's short-range, it's not as useful as the umbrella.

7. A George Foreman grill

This heavy bludgeon can be used to baah enemies over the skulls for large damage! However this is far too heavy to lift to be an effective use of one's time and effort. However it gains some points because it can also be used to burn the everloving life out of oncoming assailants. The problem is getting assailants to come close enough to get burned...

8. A bathrobe

It's the same deal as with the necktie, the sleeves of the bathrobe can be used to strangle. Only thing is it's larger and more cumbersome.

9. Cellphone

When you say cellphone I think of the narrow, roundish Nokia model- another eye-gouger, but unlike the umbrella or action figure it's not

10. Board game

Can be used as a lightweight bludgeon or thrown at enemies for little damage.

11. Graphing calculator

It's too big to be an eye-gouger and too light and small to be a bludgeon. This can only be thrown at a long-range for small damage.

11. A turtle

Tied with Graphing calculator because it serves the same purpose. A turtle, whether live or porcelain can be thrown at long range if the user's aim is decent enough. The problem is getting more turtles. Hopefully you get the same deal as Chris and his basketball or you're boned.

13. Desk with a hutch

This will be too heavy to lift and swing effectively. It is... next to useless.

14. Deck of cards

Now this is useless. Unless you're Gambit or that paper chick from Read or Die, you are quite screwed.

Those are some pretty solid ratings (definitely totally not just saying it because I scored so high no way). I can only assume that if I actually got to use a Biscuit Hammer I'd have taken the top spot; just one was able to destroy hundreds of future earths, after all.

The only one I'd really like to see moved is the turtle. Those tiny beak-mouths are scary...

I was only gonna rank the user-chosen weapons, but

3.5. Basketball

Not as useful as the mid-range bludgeon, but more useful than the short-range strangling tool. It can be long range but requires good aim. It's heavier than a graphing calc so it's safe to say it probably causes more damage when thrown at an enemy. Also, because basketballs are bouncy, the ball can immediately return to its thrower due to physics. This is much unlike the board game, calculator, and turtle which physics says will hit and plummet to the ground.

You don't seriously think you can swing a timpani around, do you? The things come on wheels for a reason. They can be lifted, sure, but at their bulk, swinging is out of the question. Maybe tossing into some dude like a River City Ransom trash can (without the pre-emptive hoisting over the head.) I'd rather use the timpani for making LOUD NOISES, or maybe hit my foes with the mallets.

Also one of your write-ups you cut off in the middle and you have no #12. Did you leave one out or is that just a typo?

I didn't leave out the 12, two tied for 11th place.

And Google pics was misleading because I swear those looked light enough to pick up and swing (not effectively of course, but possibly).

To be fair, in the old days, people would march timpani on the field.

They're not impossible to carry. Most adults can carry a 20" by themselves. But to use it as a weapon?

If you took off all the struts and just had the bowl, then yeah, I'd say a 23-20" would be swingable. Not anything larger unless the person is especially bulky. And a 32" would be right out.


For the record, FAH, I am 5'3, so make use of that if you want to make my appearance more comedic.

You don't seem to realize the kind of power that a toy can have.

For one it is entirely possible that my action figure will feature a variety of PROJECTILES.



For another thing it is possible my action figure will be IMBUED with HIDDEN POWER.

I can see how the other "weapons" are usable or could be made into usable. (Although, as Gen said, unless you're Gambit that deck of cards is looking tricky.) But what the hell can you do with a desk? A big desk at that. It's simply not portable. You could push it down some steps over some incoming baddies, but after that?
