In the USA in California there is a wonderful place dedicated to the franchise about Indiana Jones, professor of archaeology and hero of numerous adventures!!! Harrison Ford played the role of the main character superbly ! Indiana always took a whip with him, which more than once saved his life in the most difficult situations... A whip is a flexible weapon with a solid handle - a whip in which a bag with a stone or shot was tied for weighting. When struck with a swing, it can reach speeds up to supersonic 343 m/s (the initial velocity of the bullet from the PM is 315 m/s). They can be hit in any direction, the length is adjustable according to the will of the owner, which allows you to restrain the enemy even surrounded by several people... A long whip can easily bypass a shield, a hard block, or overwhelm, confuse a fighter and his weapon. BUT they can not poke, he continues to move and does not stop at any moment, it is easy to knock him down because of the length in close combat, no wonder Indiana Jones always had a revolver at hand, it was also not difficult to pull out the whip..No wonder the Sarmatian warriors were wearing special armor of an unusual kind. In tsarist Russia, the whip was used for corporal punishment, 20 blows were considered fatal, and an experienced executioner with a whip could break a spine... come on about the sad, the main thing is that he helped out our hero in all situations, reconsider Indiana, get a positive!!!
