Epoxy can sometimes be a bit malleable, even when dry. However, all the bar of epoxy is doing in this weapon is to hold the coins in place so they would fit easily between your fingers in a hurry, and to

guns don't kill people.people kill people.

[weaponscollector94]

[James (pseudo-geek)]

PREACH IT BROTHA!!

[joemonkey]

[farbzilla]

No you are wrong.. CHUCK ZITO KILLS PEOPLE. Chuck Norris kills people on film.. Much Different!!

[Neodudeman]

i lol'd

[freewheeler]

that does not make sense at all ,as guns are used to kill people.how lame.

[weaponscollector94]

[Benz]

exactly, guns are used BY PEOPLE to kill people. the gun is a tool. it is an inanimate object until a person picks it up and uses it, just like a knife, baseball bat, or your fist. the only difference is that a gun is more efficient at what it does. thank goodness for guns. i for one have never seen a newspaper article that read "73 year old grandmother armed with an assault rifle beaten to death after being raped by gang-bangers armed with knives and clubs." guns are tools that equalize. how about we hold people accountable for the things they actually do.

[freewheeler]

yeah,but the fact is that its easier to control guns than people.

[Benz]

it is only easier to control guns owned by law abiding citizens in civilized countries. Iran just got busted supplying arms to the Taliban, and in Australia after their mandatory gun ban, all the law abiding citizens turned in their guns and are now at the mercy of the criminals who did not. home invasion, rape, and murder rates there have gone through the roof. the criminals now know that their prey is defenseless. guess what would happen if we somehow magically got rid of all the guns in the world? we would suddenly be back to swords. and yes, i am an American and very proud of it. i for one will never have to watch my wife being raped while i plead to the police on the phone to come help.

hey i'm from Australia and back when guns were legal you needed a gun licene so the police knew if you had a gun. Even though Australia has a very strict anyone with half a brain can obtain one, 2 years ago some bikers dressed up as army weapon techs and stole a bunch of sidearms. Even i can gain access to guns since my mum is friends with the head of a small bike gang and u can still legally obtain firearms if u hav a good enough reason.

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

no the american thing is not supposed to be bad.americans are nice people.

[Benz]

thank you. i'm sorry i jumped to the wrong conclusion... the statement "i bet your an American" is the sort of thing i hear from someone who cannot argue logically and wants to dismiss my point of view because i come from the so-called "gun culture". it's nice to know that the liberal/communist media around the world has not completely brain-washed the human race.

[Aklash, The hunchback]

and just what do you mean by "liberal"?

[Benz]

well, since you asked 10 months later, and must truly wish to know, by liberal i mean: anti-self defence, pro-convicted crimial rights, anti-victim rights, anti-constitutional rights, big government, intrusive, self-righteous, baby murdering, job stealing, over-taxing, irresponsible, tree hugging, SUV driving, anti-capitalistic, racist, hypocrite... no offence intented. i just used the word "liberal" in order to stay as positive and constructive as possible in a discussion that has deviated from the instructable and ventured into politics. :-) no i wonder how many replies this will spawn... he he

[freewheeler]

no prob.living in a country of mixed culture(and opinions)i have to get used to an open mind.like even now i see that there are a lot of good things about liberalism.AND conservative thinking at the same time.

ARNET KNUCKLE DUSTERS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE THIS?

[weaponscollector94]

some are, i make a variety of designs out of aluminum: one fingered designs, two finger designs, even 3 finger designs, and of course the good ol 4 fingered duster, um lets see i make trench knives too! there are a lot of designs out there to choose from

[gizmo_ult]

those are brass knuckles

[volquete]

knuckle dusters and brass knuckles are the same. not all knuckles are brass, so the term 'brass knuckles' isn't always correct.

[sam noyoun]

Get caught by the police with something like that, and you're in for a very very bad time...

[royblumenthal]

It seems as though some of the non-American commenters are missing the point of this very cool instructable...

1. It's illegal to carry certain types of protection in many places around the world. A knuckle duster is a dangerous weapon that indicates to a judge that there was malice aforethought. If youre claiming that you were simply walking along in the shopping mall one day and some guy jumped you and you happened to mash all of his teeth out, the judge will say, 'So you were walking around with a lethal knuckleduster that just happened to be on your fist?'

2. This is a DEFENCE weapon, not an attack weapon. The art of defence lies in surprise. If an assailant can SEE that you're armed, they'll attack you in a different way. This knuckle duster means you can walk around without telegraphing your defence strategy.

Good one, dude.

My brother gave me two unbelievably useful tips for muggings.

1. Carry a large Brass padlock in your pocket. The pocket with your money in it.

2. If you're mugged, co-operate. Make slow moves. Tell the assailant that you're fishing the money out of your pocket.

3. Put your hand in your pocket. Put the lock into your hand, with the loop over your middle finger. Grasp the wallet or valuable in the same hand.

4. Take hand out of pocket. Hand money to assailant.

5. They're looking at the money, not the padlock ring sticking up over your finger.

6 As they take the money (enter tip number two...) blow a puff of air into their eyes. (Notice I'm not being sexist in my language usage here. The assailant could be male or female.)

7. The brief puff of air to the eye forces an involuntary blink reaction.

8. Nail the bastard in the side of the jaw with the knuckle duster, and continue nailing until your assailant is 'locked down', so to speak.

9. If the cops come, you can simply pop the lock into your pocket as you tell them to throw away the key.

(Maybe I should make an instructable out of this?)

I've a nice, heavy combination lock in my backpack. Would that work?

[Canookian]

[dozni]

[bazley8]

[sam noyoun]

Nah... they're all basically the same... unless you need marine epoxy, which will work when wet...

[bazley8]

[sam noyoun]

Yea, anybody can buy epoxy putty... It's got many many useful uses...

[volquete]

[volquete]

no offense but this is lame...coins in putty? wont do much...

[KBHELLSPAWN]

your voice reminds me of this

[im_an_alien]

It's not his voice, it's Microsoft Sam. If you have XP, go to control panel > speech properties, select text to speech tab, voice microsoft sam, type in some text and hit test. (dunno about vista or <2k) It plays it back. From there you can record it by plugging a cord form the speaker/line out to the mic plug on your computer. That's probably how he did it.
