DESCRIPTION:
The bludgeon is acknowledged to be Man’s oldest weapon and
significantly, although modern-day armies have a vast array
of weapons of mass destruction at its disposal, their modern
military men (and women) continue to be taught the use of
the humble stick during basic training. The stick is the
quintessential field-expedient weapon and its ubiquitousness
warrants that everyone be acquainted with its basic but
formidable use.
