Are nunchucks really any use in a street fight? I know there meant to be deadly and hard to use (i own some foam ones) but do they really hurt that much and how useful are they really?
Thoughts?

Nunchucks can kill a person. They can also really hurt the user so the user needs to be very skilled with them.

Nunchucks are probably illegal everywhere in the civilized world so carrying them for self defense is a bad idea in my opinion.

As far as I know nunchucks are actually one of the few weapons not properly classed as weapons in most places. You are less likely to get in trouble having nunchucks than any other weapon (within reason). But as far as I know unless you a very skilled they are pretty rubbish, and even if you are skilled too many things have to be how you want them to be to make 'em wurk properly (correct distance/height/enivronment/etc)

I think you are wrong but the best thing for someone to do is talk to a lawyer in his or her area and find out for sure.

THey're only effective in movies - too much risk of getting hit back with them if you use them wrong.

Nunchucks are amazingly powerful they can break a persons neck in a single swing. I like to think of them as faster slightly less powerful baseball bats.

I've enver heard of nunchucks breaking people necks/arms/legs etc
Only small bones like in hands and feet.
