Ballistic knives and throwing stars are illegal in a lot of US states, but curiously in most of those same states you can purchase an assault rifle like it's a bag of doritos.

Assault rifles are safer for use around children since they don't have sharp edges.

what makes the strike sure

It's by comparison to throwing knives, where they hit the target handle first and clatter to the floor for most people

or is it "that sure is a strike" as your opponent embeds his ninja star into his own rear end

The Cold Steel Sure Strike is a modern day Shuriken (throwing star). Used for centuries in China and Japan, it consists of no more than a flat piece of steel with 3 or more points. If you throw it overhand like a baseball, side arm, underarm or back hand like a flying saucer, it hits on at least one point every time. Cold Steel's Sure Strikes aren't like the cheap, shoddy throwing stars you see at flea markets, guns shows, and in martial arts magazines. That's because they are laser cut from high carbon steel that's been heat treated to a hard spring temper before sharpening and then given a black, baked-on epoxy finish to protect them from the elements. All three share the same sized diameter, but are varied in weight due to the differences in steel thickness. Maximize your fun and get all three sizes! These are the stars that stick every time; the Sure Strikes from Cold Steel.

if you aren't also using your full-sized saber as a set of brass knuckles then you're obviously a warfare n00b.

They need to make a tactical tampon that you can pull out and use as a weapon.

Just for Nostalgia's sake, this has always been one of my favorite lines of any Cyberpunk novel

quote:

Case found himself staring through a shop window. The place sold small bright objects to the sailors. Watches, flic-knives, lighters, pocket VTRs, simstim decks, weighted man-riki chains, and shuriken. The shuriken had always fascinated him, steel stars with knife-sharp points. Some were chromed, others black, others treated with a rainbow surface like oil on water. But the chrome stars held his gaze. They were mounted against scarlet ultrasuede with nearly invisible loops of nylon fishline, their centers stamped with dragons or yinyang symbols. They caught the street's neon and twisted it, and it came to Case that these were the stars under which he voyaged, his destiny spelled out in a constellation of cheap chrome.
