It's a steel/titanium/aluminum metal spike that you can jam through someone's jugular, but can also write-out your meninist manifesto with.

You can pretty much jam any pen short of a highlighter through someone's eye. All it takes is resolve.

Not that bad actually, atleast up to 100 km/h. Above that it starts to get a bit of extra drag. No vibration or something like that when looking straight ahead. It's not the quietest helmet but that's the tradeoff for real nice air flow.

And also provided you do the stabbing first, any metal stabbing device can be used to write.

The point of tactical pens is that they're a high-end shiv that you have on your person. When you go through metal detectors at a courthouse/airport/federal building, you toss them in the tray along with your keys & watch. The person manning the checkpoint doesn't pay any attention to it and you've now got a weapon in an area you're not supposed to.

How are tactical pens different from other metal pens, other than the manufacturer reminding you that they can be used for stabbing?

Most metal pens aren't fit for purpose.

And by 'purpose' I don't mean stabbing ninjas, I mean 'not falling apart in my fcking pocket and launching the refill across the room when I want to use it'

You could really ruin a man's dignity if he's a bald mugger which is far more effective.

edit: VVV I meant the chassis but I looked it up Tata owns Jaguar now so I don't think the Mondeo uses the same chassis as the x-type now.

My cousin has a framing shop. Just asked him to frame them up really quick. Couldn't decide on what kind of matting, so I just decided they looked pretty good without.

They actually have about a 10% stake in the company. They used to be the majority shareholder before divesting in the late 2000s of most of their foreign holdings.

Two stroke, sadly. Used it a bit this past weekend, whacked some grass good. Hopefully it lasts longer than other whackers I've had.
