    Forging a bunch of these, and adding an actuated compartment below my turnk to dispense these beauts

      That was my thought as well, except using weld-fused bent and sharpened hollow tubes instead. Deflate tires in to time, leaving the pursuer in the dust.

    Great video - thanks. What are the approximate dimensions of the points once drawn out?

    I saw some caltrops have hooks at the ends, rather than points. That would make forging a bit more tricky...

      I know which ones you mean. Not really, just an extra step. You essentially bend over the tip of a normal one and then forge out the "elbow" into a new point. Nasty business though!

      You could put inward-facing barbs on each tine as well to make them harder to pull out. Adds a nice sinister layer to the defensive weapon.

    If you are watching this in 2020 we need these for the riots

    How long does it take to forge one of these (how many could one make in a day)?

      For mass production, I wonder if they devised some special tools or jigs to speed up the process
