Because they're cool.
Nearly useless in battle, but "nearly useless" trumps "empty-handed.
Why was this shit even invented when a regular staff/stick is ten times more effective and much easier to make from the same material?
You can't conceal a staff
It's not a weapon, it's a training tool to improve body coordination.
It was originally a tool for threshing rice.
it's concealable and it hits much harder
While you're busy doing stupid ass tricks with your useless sticks you already got punched in the face several times, most by them alone.
You are such a larper. Simply unchaining the nunchuks and grasping one handle and punching with that hand is more deadly than bare hands.
or just holding them doubled up. It's pretty hard to find a hard object that wouldn't be advantageous in a fight, with the caveat that fighting bare handed allows you to grapple.
What if they were gopher chucks?
you can literally very easily die if you get hit by one of these things, how the frick does that make them useless, exactly?
Name six games with nun-chucks, without Googling it.
I genuinely can't think of any except TNMT games.

I fricking reality gays so much.
because scythes are cool
They look cool when you're swinging them at nobody. That works well in movies where nobody is actually getting hit, and in video games where there's no impact and weapons follow through an enemy's body.
Rule of cool
They're not useless. They're a baton tied to another baton, and easy to conceal.
The flippy shit people do with them is useless, you'd be using them more like a club with extended range, or like a whip.
>The flippy shit people do with them is useless, you'd be using them more like a club with extended range, or like a whip.
A stick picked up off the ground would make a better club than moronchucks
Would you rather look for a stick on a ground or have sticks in your coat pocket?
Buy a gun though
I would remove the moron chain and have 2 sticks
It wouldn't though. A stick off the ground is much more likely to be made of weaker wood.
That's not a fair comparison, stick on the ground is unbeatable
You could easily take out several of 1000 marines with the stick
>leave stick on ground
>marines find stick on ground
>marines proceed to do moronic shit with the stick that results in several casualties (most likely using it to try to hit grenades like baseballs resulting in several fatalities or planting it in the ground to see who can jump over it in full combat gear resulting in several dozen punctured testicles and rectums)
moron who doesn't understand basic physics
Kill thyself
>moron thinks hitting something with something on a chain hits harder than something not on a chain
Stay in school and stop getting your information from Hollywood
the stick wouldnt have as much momentum when swung, and the wood wood be less dense. doubly so you use metal ones
No? If you swung with a club you have the full arc of your swing, the club attached to the one you are holding only gains inertia after that, only using the length of the cord. There's a reason why carpenters don't put the heads of hammers on a chain. The only benefit you would get is if you were clearing out weeds and didn't have access to a blade.
>There's a reason why carpenters don't put the heads of hammers on a chain.
Uhh yeah, but I don't think it's the reasoning you're thinking of.
hammers require
precision that's lost when you add a chain
A sledgehammer then specifically, let's say I didn't need to be precise I just needed as much force as possible to break up dry wall or concrete. Why not stick the head to a chain if it gets more force?
For safety, anon.
So essentially in a controlled environment having a chain-based tool is too dangerous to the user, but in a fight is worth it. Unironcally that makes a case for using your fists instead.
sledgehammers aren't a tool that should require specialized training beyond the obligatory safety stuff
nunchucks are a weapon, you're expected to have training for using it
sledgehammers have high inertia making them slow but good for driving through solid, thick materials
nunchucks are really fricking fast because of levers so they have lower inertia but still a good amount of momentum (and energy) behind them so they're really good for beating the absolute shit out of someone who's not wearing armor
But why do birds suddenly appear, every time The Carpenters are near?
>easy to conceal
So is a decent knife and that does more damage and takes up less space and is widely available
Peasants werent allowed to have knives.
I'd prefer a blunt object to a blade since my objective is to end the fight not do more damage. If the situation has already escalated to attempted murder there isn't a better solution than a gun, so knives are a bad middle ground.
>useless as a weapon in real life?
so like most of the video game weapons?
Nah, man. You could totally use a greatsword or a short sword with an overly spikey handle.
Same reason why swords are in games despite being a personal defense weapon that you pull out when shit is hitting the fan instead of polearms
Wrong analogy.
Proper analogy: swords is 100 rds magazine pistol, lance is 1 round rifle. Why do people carry pistols to supplement 1 rd rifle again?
Sure let me hit you with one to show you useless it is
Why are daggers?
because you're a braindead sack of stupid Black person shit that doesn't know what proper nunchaku look like or how they're used
>AI shlurping Australian mormon moron made other morons online think that Nunchucks are suddenly stupid
It's a concealed weapon from a place and time when literally anyone walking down the street could be a fricking samurai wanting to see how much someone bleeds when they get cut in half.
You hid them in the sleeve of your robe or coat.
>Durr I would just use a stick without the chain durr
Ok moron, effectively hide a weapon the length of a fully extended nunchuck in your fricking shirt sleeve.
Arguably flail on the stick or just stickless flail is better.
>Stickless flail
This was also a concealed weapon that was used.
Yeah it's perfect muggers weapon. You can hide chain tied inside sleeve, and ball in closed palm and aproach victim ready to swing. And it crushes skull like a pumpkin and victim goes down without sound.
It's also extremely easy to make for your average peasant.
You can make this out of scrap metal from your smithy.
Russian language has old idiom
>make wooshing sounds with flail on the road
Meaning to become bandit.
moron-tier post
They're a perfectly fine weapon
If they were ineffective weapons they wouldn't have seen use, like the flail.
The flail shows up in historical texts, and was technically real, but it didn't actually see use as far as anyone can tell. Fencing manuals refer to how to use the flail, but as far as actual battles go, people seemed to leave it at home in favor of weapons that didn't suck.
The nunchucks actually saw use.
>but it didn't actually see use as far as anyone can tell.
You just don't know. Max conceliable variant (no stick) was staple weapon of the slav bandits, there are bazillions archeology finds.
Flail made form the whip (lead bullet tied to the tip) was staple weapon of the Eurasian nomads, again bazillion archeology finds.
I guess when I say flail I mean specifically this fricking thing.
But yeah many cultures had "thing to hit with on the end of a rope or chain" weapons.
Supposedly no one ever used the flail in real combat we barely even have any genuine specimens.
The one you posted is just a concept.
Pick related is the closest thing to an actual flail but its just a peasant weapon.
Only good at being unpredictable and harder to guard against but not lethal enough vs armored targets and often not even vs unarmored ones.
a lot of people (peasants) literally went to war with farming tools, back in the day. if you think everyone was some super decked-out chad with leet weapons, you're totally wrong. imagine being some 15 year old c**t and you were in the middle of a live battlefield and all they felt like giving you, was an old, dirty, rusted, knife? that was the reality for a lot of medieval gays back then.
I'm not a historian or anything but if you're young, have a shit weapon, and are on a battlefield, surviving, you don't stick with your shitty knife or dagger. You grab a dead dudes sword, spear, shield, anything else. I'd argue most weapons aren't even with their original owner.
All I'm saying is, if I was a peasant conscript and made it out alive, you know fo sho I'm stealing some good boots, armor, weapons, etc.
>All I'm saying is, if I was a peasant conscript and made it out alive, you know fo sho I'm stealing some good boots, armor, weapons, etc.
this obviously happened all the time, as well. no one is just going to let good armor and swords rust in the field.
Exactly, which is why flails and the like were probably used more than people think. Your only weapon is a piece of shit knife? A broken spear haft? Or a dented sword or some other shit? You see a dude die with his flail, you're picking that shit up. Hard wood handle with good (at the time) metal chains and the spiked ball? You'd probably get giddy just at the thought of smashing some other peasants brains in with that shit, even if you weren't trained at all
Can't believe war is P2W.
flails (the farming tool) were widely used both for self-defebse and in battle during peasant rebellions.
Of course, it only has limited use when you are swinging a stick at a guy wearing plate.
I NEED GOPHER-CHUK'S
As murican police. They use nunchucks.
blame bruce lee
because repurposed farming equipment is cool
Bruce Lee
The frick. Incredibly hard to use properly and be skilled with is not "useless".
Because its cool and video games dont need to be historically accurate to be fun.
Because they're cool and most people aren't joyless c**ts like you
You've never read Sun Tzu's Art of War?
>Inb4 Machiavelli's Art of War is better and superior in the long run
Why do threads have to start with bait? And, worse, moronic bait that is offensively insulting to anyone with even half a brain?
OP could have started the thread with: "What do you all think of nunchucks in videogames?"
Instead, OP used a braindead appeal to realism to argue that nunchucks have no place in videogames, which way more often than not are set in fantasy environments with magic, the supernatural and all that where realism gets thrown out the door.
OP probably knows this is bait and chose to start with it. Why?
>OP could have started the thread with: "What do you all think of nunchucks in videogames?"
And then most people wouldn't have cared and the thread would die for the handful of people that would have just discussed it.
Because it got you to reply, moron
As far as handheld melee weapons go that you can easily conseal, nunchucks are fantastic if you know how to use them.
Don't hate just because you don't know how to use them.
Why do people call nunchaku "useless"? Imagine even a regular ass dude, no training at all, spinning that shit and wiping it at your head, you're probably break your nose, eye socket, jaw, or something else, maybe even a combo of them all.
homies says they aren't scared of a nunchuck hitting them, you have no fricking idea bro
it's a super hard stick you can swing at someone's face super fast. i'm pretty sure getting hit with one of these will hurt like all fricking hell and will instantly incapacitate literally anyone who gets bonked over the head by one of these little bad boys.
Nunchucks are kino im really tempted to buy one just like my uncle did
