It's fun contemplating improvised weaponry. In real life, I'll use my Nikes to beat a hasty retreat.
BTW, the fight scenes in the "Jason Bourne" series are based on Filipino Kali. According to the fight choreographer of the series Jeff Imada, "it is quick and efficient."
Yep, the edge of a rolled magazine is like a stone.
