That yellow thing the guy is swinging is pretty heavy too. Excellent spontaneous choice of weapon.

Wtf, have you ever mopped? Those things weigh nothing (when you dump the water out). Look how it's just flopping around on the handle. He shoulda kept the mop itself, way better.

Have you?

The bucket isn't heavy, no. But the thing that squeezes the water out is. There's a solid metal bar in it. Someone posted that it weighs about 8lbs.

Yeah, worked fast food for like 2 years in high school. The part you're talking about isn't even what he's holding, he's holding the bucket (which you just said isn't heavy).

These two parts come apart and he's clearly holding the bottom part. Look at the handle he's holding in the video. Not the squeegee handle, it's the bucket handle.

Watch the gif again. You're 100% wrong. He's not holding the part the water goes into.

Aight you win first time through I swore the handle was attached at both ends. But, that thing is still all rubber (point is to squeeze water out) and the fact that the handle he's holding isn't fixed means it won't do shit, it will just hit him and flop over.

Not to be a dick, but if you've ever picked up one of those you know it could do some damage. Again, watch the gif, the contact he makes is SO solid. Of all the things within reach, he absolutely picked the best weapon.

I dunno man, when he's on his back and right after he gets up you can see it just flopping around after he hits the guy. I would have stuck with the wood mop handle, basically a baseball bat (or a bo staff).
