I found this at the Gun Feed and the link stated "Or you could just buy a gun." These students are making plastic knuckles, as opposed to "Brass Knuckles," as a "new" tool for self defense. They were motivated by a student who was stabbed to death. From years of martial arts experience....you do not want to engage in hand to hand combat against someone who has a knife....and plastic knuckles are not even close to a tool you would want to use.....
A gun is your best option
A long club is your next best option.
A knife is your last best option.
Empty hands is simply crazy unless there is absolutely no other way to escape or fight back....
Aren't "Brass Knuckels" illegal, and if so....wouldn't these be illegal as well?
UT students create device that packs a punch in tackling campus safety
"Personally, I have felt unsafe walking home from campus, especially at night," said Senior and engineering student Sydney Marvin.
It is a feeling these students say crept up on them following the murder of a UT student in 2016. Haruka Weiser, 18, was walking at night when she was killed by Meechaiel Criner.
"And that was when we were applying to UT," said senior Margy McCallum, "And I remember coming into UT and you know, just feeling that fear."

That project became "Pocket Punch." It is a four-in-one tool that includes a flashlight, alarm, pepper spray and durable plastic knuckles all in one. They are now working on making that product available for students to buy.
