Depends on the situation.

Nah everyone became immune to bladed weapons in 1987.

As long as your not stupid enough to try to hit someone in the plate carrier it's effective.
Mason Moore
did the natives know something we didnt?
Gavin Walker
It's a sharp edge with some mass behind it on a handle. Physics alone tells you that it's more than enough to kill someone with.
Effective in what context though? I'd be glad to have it if I go up against someone with a knife who is not already close enough to kiss, but it's obviously lower on the list than every sidearm ever, unless you are in a life or death fight against a sapling.

Dude, the natives had stone and wooden clubs. The proper tomahaws were something white people made to trade with them.
Christian Robinson
A fist can be an effective weapon if used properly
Jeremiah White
It lacks reach and is a little on the slow side, so it works best in tandem with a shield or buckler. You could also throw it, but then you don't have it anymore.
tl;dr it's okay
Robert Miller
Tomahawks are a useful combined tool/weapon. At the same size and weight, a short sword would be a better weapon... and a pistol/carbine an even better one. But that goes without saying.
Isaiah Sanchez
As thrown weapons they have always been a meme. Every period reference of them being thrown was either for competition or at an enemy that was running away.
Ethan Martinez
I've never seen people use a buckler with anything but a sword before
Anthony Jenkins
That particular example is a piece of shit. In general? Yeah, brutal.
Hudson Robinson
Depends, are you fighting people who still have ammo?
Thomas Wilson
You don't use a tomahawk with a shield, you use it with it a knife.
Nathaniel Reed
Throwing a tomahawk doesn't work.

You use a tomahawk however the fuck you can. It's a blade on a handle you cunt. It's the swiss army knife of killing a motherfucker.
Easton Brooks
They were historically used with knives and you know it

Counterpoint: Paul Harell is shit at axe throwing
Dominic Lopez
You have to go back.
Anthony Nelson
They were historically used after your gun, your main fighting weapons, ran out of ammunition. A knife is another tool you're likely to have which can be improvised as a weapon. A shield isn't.
Nonetheless, tomahawk plus shield beats tomahawk plus knife every day in a dedicated melee fight.
Ethan Parker
yes, but only as a melee, thrown it is highly ineffective.
Joshua Bell
I wouldn't want to get a tomahawk lodged into my head, would you?
Jackson Martin
I'll take my rifle as a club over anything in the 1700/1800's (cept a saber)
Colton Bell
They were historically used close in and to hack off limbs. Scalping if you didn't have your knife on you or wanted to make it quick work. Also dispatching woman and children and the elderly. They were used in what could be described as the first mass murder school killing in north America.

Nearly chopped my finger off with a hatchet when I was ten so yes
Hudson Ross
Nah. Better for smoking.
Jonathan Roberts
would take tomahawk over rifle club but not bayonet
rifles are very slow clubs and if you can step back from the first swing its easy to move in and whack someone in the head with a hawk before they can swing again with force
rifle with a bayonet can keep you at distance with quick jabs though
