- viraptor 17y agoI wouldn't expect a Joe random robber a) to carry a knife usable for throwing; b) to know how to throw that knife. Most knives are as useful as rocks, when thrown. Although in a real situation you might not want to test anything from this thread, because you could be very unlucky.
- donaq 17y agoI don't know, being hit hard by a rock would probably throw me off balance.
- jonny_noog 17y agoHe probably should have said "less useful than rocks", because knives not specifically balanced for throwing would probably fly less accurately than most rocks.
- Gupie 17y agoYes, and if he missed you can pick the knife up, throwing a knife is a good way to disarm yourself.
- keefe 17y agoI used to own a set of throwing knives. They're not exactly point and click and remember, thieving is an opportunity thing. They're likely to just let you run and steal an old lady's purse instead.
- donaq 17y agoI agree, but I'd rather not turn my back on any antagonist with a knife. As another commenter has said, a 95% chance of getting stabbed are rather crappy odds.
- keefe 17y agoNeither would I, but there's a lot of sick fucks out there and there's no telling what they'll do if they have you in a submissive spot. I particularly don't want them knowing where I live. Plenty of people have gotten killed because they got robbed and they didn't have enough money to satiate the thief.
