Unlikely Weapons #1 Skillet

Hopefully you will never have to choose only one item from the pot family to save man-kind, but if you do;
There a a three main considerations,
Size- A large pot makes a bad weapon, and a small crepe pan can hardly do damage
Handle- How are you going to grip it?
Durability- You thought your hello kitty teapot would last?

With these considerations the skillet is definitely the best of the pot family for self-defense. The skillet is typically one of the thicker of the pot family, it has a good handle, the shallow depth of a skillet reduces air resistance. Technique with this blunt object is only slightly more complicated then swinging a club. However for maximum damage you will want to hold the skillet with the backside facing your left. This way, when you swing it, there is less air resistance Also, the doubled handed downward hit to the head is also an effective classic. Remember a Fluidity of motion! Turn with your wrist always keep the aerodynamic "buisness side" going. This will reduce muscle strain in long drawn out fights. (like a zombie horde)
