1. With all the dissatisfaction in my poll choices, I'm going to re-do this poll.

I'll add (a) Entrenching Tool, (b) Short machete/Khukri, (c) Vehicle, (d) Walking stick, (e) 4/5/6 D cell Maglite, (f) soda pop can, (g) what else?

2. But, question: Can you guys please elaborate on the entrenching tool? How/why is this is a weapon? How is it employed, other than a shovel? Just a club only? Or as a slasher/cutter also? Can you give me some more history/explanation on the e-tool as a weapon? Any links? Thanks.
