BLACKJACK:
A generic term for a leather bag filled with lead
pellets or heavy
stones which is used as a bludgeon, the blackjack
is a very popular
weapon among thieves and assassins.
Due to its great
damaging power and ease of concealment, it is
also a favorite weapon
among sailors and press gangs in search
of new “recruits.”
The blackjack was used by different cultures
around the world,
with the American Indians even possessing a
similar form of cudgel
filled with sand, occasionally tied to a
cord to be whirled
and thrown. (Treat such weapons as thrown
clubs for purposes
of “to hit” adjustments and damage.)
