    Addressing several of the poor responses in this comment section.
    Q1: "What if he throws the knife?" R1: Good, the perp disarmed himself and unless he's a ninja the responders haven't taken anything more than a flesh wound in exchange. Thrown knives don't work like they do in videogames.
    Q2: "But using one is ineffective!" R2: Cops should always be travelling in pairs anyway, and 2+ is effective enough to subdue almost anyone.
    Q3: "but they look easy to avoid! I could stop those! Can't I just step aside?" R3: Congratulations you're the kind of person that'd get caught by a mancatcher. Their materials are light and can be quickly and easily repositioned by the wielder faster than you can move your whole torso, especially trained wielders.
    Q4: "What stops the attacker from overpowering me and taking the weapon?" R4: The second guy with a mancatcher. Also if you're in a situation where you are deploying these, then the light, awkward aluminium pole is probably the least dangerous thing the assailant will be attacking you with.
    Q5: "They look unwieldy and intimidating!" R5: So is your obese undertrained police cosplaying as soldiers and carrying long guns.
    Q6: "What if the perp runs away!?" R6: If they're running away, they're probably not attacking people. Also nothing about the 3 lb aluminium pole would prevent you from sprinting after the perp or safely dropping it once it becomes an obstacle to pursuit.
    Q7: "What if the perp has a gun!?" R7: Respond accordingly if a gun threat presents itself. If you believe your police should treat every encounter like the perp has a gun in advance, you're probably living in a country with incredibly cancerous gun-culture and/or police culture.
    Q8: "That thing can't overpower me!" R8: See R4, also mancatchers give the user incredible leverage against their target, to the point that it's a viable restraint against someone of superior mass and strength, provided training.
    Q9: "What stops the perp from swinging the knife/weapon when they're pinned!?" R9: Mancatchers can bind limbs, they don't exclusively work on torsos.
    Q10: "Why should we take extra risks to help violent thugs!?" R10: Because the police's job is to protect the public, not shoot "bad guys". misunderstandings, bad days, mental disabilities, and intoxication exist. Most people that can become belligerent or a threat to their self and others are often doing so under temporary conditions, they weren't born with a ski-mask and an evil mustache to twirl. Mancatchers offer a chance to minimalize fatal incidents with people that need to be restrained in the moment without undue injury and death.
    Q11: "This would never work!" R11: It literally has worked both historically and in the modern age. Some police forces still use it now because it's proven an effective alternative to more harmful responses.

      pretty sure any weapon is more effective when there are multiple wielders fighting a 5v1, but this is drastically more effective (5 london shanks vs 1 london shank will probably end with less than 5 surviving london shank wielders on the winning side)
      of course, if the one guy is fast enough to dodge/overpower all the mancatchers… well, I would tell them to run, but I don’t think they will have a chance at outrunning the overpowered guy

      master musashi teaches not to rely on the length of a weapon, less maneuverable and easily countered in a 1v1 by a skilled tachi wielder. they also arent as useful in multiple combat scenarios. lets say spear vs bow, spear user will be at an insurmountable disadvantage. tachi vs bow with its quick movement options while still at a disadvantage has a greater chance of deflecting the arrow and using the window to close distance. in large scale warfare the spear only only excelled when protected by shield walls, due to its all out attack and low strength ( easily broken especially against armor.) Hammers maces and blunt weapons are what truly dominated battlegrounds due to the quick rise of maneuverable full body armor, but before that yes it was spears protected by walls of shields.

      The generally established rule I believe is that a person with a spear can take on 2 equally skilled sword wielding opponents pretty comfortably. There's a good reason why a long stick has been probably the single most effective weapon when looking at human history.

    • @Pensasneuvostoliittolainen
      @Pensasneuvostoliittolainen 2 года назад +34

      Yeah in my experience with reenactment spears/polearms etc. are great if you have lots of space, though in more confined areas spears start having a hard time. We were doing a duel themed show and I had to go against a spear with just a viking sword. This on its own would have been a decisive win for the spear guy, but we only had a circular area with a radius of maybe 1.5x the length of the spear, which allowed me to try to back him into the border.
      Not sure if any this translates to man catchers though, seeing as a: you can't parry a man catcher with a knife (or anything practical for that matter), and b: a man catcher has a wider area of effect than a spear or polearm.

    Ideas for improvement:
    Spring loaded staff part, to extend the pole only when you want it to, and preferably also with a locking mechanism. The longer it is the harder it is to wield and carry around. The surprise elongation gives the user the advantage.
    Large handguards, mostly for leverage, because the other guy might try to twist the catcher away and the handguards allow you to fight the torque. Also works as a reminder to keep your fingers safe from being targeted.
    Unscrewable pommel to help counterbalance all that weight. And when positive trapping is confirmed, can be unscrewed to reduce stamina loss by user. Also a means to end the tussle rightly by throwing said pommel onto the hand holding the weapon. That would make them instantly drop the knife/machete.

      I'm against a spring-loaded staff part, or honestly even the half-moon bits from the video that lock in place. Moving parts makes it more likely to break and more expensive, and it should be extremely cheap-to-mass-produce, durable police equipment. Better to have a static design and train officers to use it effectively.
      I like the unscrewable pommel though. If the pommel/staff connection breaks, it doesn't make the tool unusable. I don't know if a pommel is good for throwing because you'd have to have very good aim while under stress, but at the very least, a removable/exchangeable pommel makes it possible to customize the tool for each officer's preferred level of balance. And handguards for leverage also sounds good.
      I think that hook on the side of it like in the Chinese polices' version is a brilliant addition. It's simple, doesn't increase complexity and gives the officer an effective leg catcher to trip the criminal.

    This is an awesome invention. Add sufficient spring tension so it always springs back to the open position. Soften the edges with a leather-like cushion and build the whole thing out of a low weight material. Then have a release button out of arms reach of the attacker so he cant open it himself and has to (at least) run around with the pole attached to himself, if the defender loses grip. The release on the defenders side will be used to open it back up, if the clamps lock and nobody is caught. For comfort and improved mobility, you could add an extension on the defenders side so you can push down on it with your elbow, to give it extra leverage at the back, while also being able to hold it up with both hands freely, without it being strapped to you via a belt e.g. so you don't get caught in it when pummeled. Have the clamps work like handcuffs so it gradually gets tighter and tighter the more you push into them,, so the attacker cant easily slip out if he commits into pushing against it. The "intensity of the clamping" could be improved, if you shape the claps not like ( ) but more with like a rounded hook at the inside, like a " G-shape ". Simmular to this: (` ´) only more s-shaped. This would result in the clamps being able to overextend a little so they can cross each other, tighteing the grab.
