Baseball bat but with nails in it

[Bnjemann]

Description of the idea:
The ability to make a “spiked baseball bat”.

Simple, you craft it with 1 bat and maybe 10 wood nails.

This will make the bat:
- Do more damage to armoured bodies
- Cause targets to bleed heavily when hit with it

At the cost of:
- a slight increase in the value of the bat
- Slight increase in stamina used per swing
- reduction of the concussion effect from a bat headshot




Why should this be added? (pros):
- Seems to me like it’d be doable
- Makes the bat deadlier
- It’s a common trend IRL amongst criminals and people looking for some unethical self defence if they can’t buy other weapons.

What negatives could this have? (cons):
- not a common trend with non wooden bats (but still doable, see pic above)
- could be OP.
- Could invalidate the katana.​

The baseball bat is already deadly as it is so I don't think your "pro" in that manner makes any sense.

In my opinion it should do less direct damage however cause heavy bleed damage, slightly less than the knife.

 

[Bnjemann]

I agree tbh. Editing the original post.

I feel as though it should do more damage to armour though due to the puncturing nature of the bat.

This would literally just be an upgrade from a normal bat, the bat does already do a lot of damage. Additionally, it would require a new model, and materials.
