Nuther try. Serious, not smart alec.

Question was re bullwhip. Against one or multiple bad guys.

Kwill made very viable point in first post. Distance is critical. Different whips for different distances.

Even with a leg wrap takedown, distance is critical; and requires side cast

Movie whip work where the whip wielder takes the gun out of the bad guys hand is done with both parties at known distances and both parties have worked together and practiced the gig.

Rapid deployment for initial strike is problematic.

Successive strikes bout as fast as fly casting. Multiple bad guys would present extreme problem.

If you were good enough to have a chance against a single armed person, then the law would probably consider the useage of the whip as use of deadly force.

Carry of whip ready for rapid deployment would probably require that you walk around with the whip trailed behind you. And even then you would have to proceed in a straight line. If you turn with whip trailed, whip has to be redeployed behind you before it can be rapidly and accurately used again.

Last I saw, bullwhips available from Sheplers. Good prices and different lengths.
