How effective would a sledgehammer be at stopping a school shooter?
None, probably, unless he runs out of bullets.
Sledge hammer to the head usually causes a person to not live anymore, so if you had the drop on the person in question then sure, knock yourself out.
>>29364265
A regular hammer would probably be better for the average person. I see the sledge hammer being a liability more than an assist.
You're not Thor, you enormous neckbearded faggot. Stop listening to Manowar and go lift some weights.
>>29364291
Thor has a hammer not a sledgehammer
Fire extinguishers in every classroom. Spray the fucker, then bash him. Better than nothing.

If multiple people had them and were trained in combat sledging it would be very effective.
A gun would be more effective though.
Most effective would be removing the useless toxic shit in our culture that drives people to do that stuff.
I doubt shootings would happen if we lived in a society without our media system and a disgusting backwards set of "morals" stuffed down our throats.

I cannot fucking fathom how stupid people are sometimes. If you can land a solid hit on the attacker he'll go down doesn't even really matter where you hit him.

What the fuck did you just say about me, you little nail?
>>29364371
Remember that it makes you slow and isn't exactly balanced against a gun.

Anywhere between "totally" and "not at all" depending on circumstances
I played enough Stick Arena to know that you would have decent odds, especially if you hide in a bathroom corner.

And I can't fathom how /k/ continues to take OP's like this seriously but you keep doing it.

You're supposed to knock the other guy out.

I rather use regular hammer, holding sledgehammer like saying, "look at me, I'm Hero!"

I mean if you're going to use a weapon with such a slow attack speed you might as well have some real power behind it
>>29364338
I understood this
What about tactical smoke screens?
>>29366216
The neck of the gas canister would break after a few swings of that ting. Bethesda shit in their messkit hard with Fallout 4.
What about a ballista?
>>29368243
Best used to help you hide, not escape. Extinguishers rarely produce a thick enough cloud to hide you completely,
>>29368286
Ah, I see. Direct action would work better.
>>29368267
Fonv was the best fallout. It's better than 4 at almost everything, and better than 3 In every way including being fallout 3.

But we all know the real way to stop a school shooter is by making the school a gun free zone
>>29368308
sharp objects in school?
>>29365854
Of course, what kind of girl-kissing faggot are you?
I carry a leatherman in school, teachers give no fucks and the instructors at the technical center i drive to for welding dont either.
Plus I mean, 2 students hiding behind every corner in the shop with a ball peen hammer should probably deal with it. Correct me if im wrong.
Every class has something that can be used as a weapon.

Start doing some Indian mace training and it could be just as effective as any other melee weapon.
Schools should just have a certified badass to work as security, have them carry a sawnoff shotgun incase any chilluns act out. Also it's mandatory that the guy is above 6 foot, muscular, and God damn beautiful. And he can sleep with the juniors and seniors, girls only unless it's a really femeinite boy. Not a tranny, just femeinite
but realy i live in germany once we asked our teacher what we should do in a school shooting she answered that we should pot tables in a corner in the room and should cover under them
but our school was shitty so we had a loose wooden board laying next to the door so we decided that the oldest guy take it and defend the shooter when he enter the door
sledgehammers are pretty heavy for follow up swings, I'd be more comfortable without the head on it so its just a think stick.
like others said, hide in the corner behind the door and crack him in the skull from behind, if he's not dead break his arms and kick the weapon away
>>29364338
EXPLAIN
>>29364265
Well I've successfully rendered concrete blocks into a fine powder with one so I do believe it would process a human head down to jelly in no time at all. All the same pretty bad idea.

I sincerely hope that was a typo.
>>29371627
Or a joke. One of the two
I've always wanted to use a tamper or conduit bender if some nut ever started shooting the store up. That or climb into the cantilever racks and throw bags of cement at the fucker
>yes I work at Lowes how could you tell
>>29364265
Not very. You'd need to nail them in the head specifically or they'd be able to retaliate with ease.
The best weapon against a school shooter is a gun, and a piece of cover.
>>29364359
Actually, it's usually the people themselves that in all reality should probably have been exiled in any reasonable society for their mental instability.

>>29372316
Normally I'd agree if you were hitting them with a small object, but this is a fucking sledge hammer. Regardless of where you hit him, he's not going to do anything for a good while.
>>29364265
Baseball bat is better. Because you can carry it without problems.
Anon, why the sledge hammer? No excuse.
Anon, why the baseball bat? Practice after class.

Carry duffel bag to school and keep all your shit in it.

Thor has mjolnir, not a hammer. Mjolnir>hammer.

Still not a sledgehammer
So /k/ what stopping me buying bulletproof blankets in mass and create a bulletproof full body suit?
>>29364265
depends on what you're wearing
>>29376373
Nothing?
>>29364265
pretty damn effective
1. Remove hammerhead, melt it down
2. Cast metal into bullet
3. shoot the dude

My school is under a shooting warning i kid you not.
Ill let you guys know how it goes, thankfully its a gun free zone though.

>>29376907
>warning=fake
>>29377000
>Tornado warning
They didnt see a tornado, must be false.
Silly comparison yes, but the warning is given because there's a heightened possibility of this happening.
sledgehammers are too slow and heavy for combat
>>29377530
Also i'd like to add that there was a written threat in addition to a bunch of twitter shit talking about it happening.
So there is cause for concern and given a warning assures people are aware of the possible threat.
>>29377000
Could be due to a holdup at the liquor store down the road. They lock down schools for a lot of reasons not related to aspie kids with carbines.
>>29376862
Well that depends who's doing the shooting....

What if the canister is actually welded into place? See that other yellow bit behind the head? That's probably where you refill it from.
>>29368411
You're right, it's better in terms of weapons and unique content. Not much else.
>>29364265
Most people don't actually practice reloading quickly
if you had the right opportunity and have good sprinting speed you could probably smash their head in before they reloaded
