No, it isn't, not unless you're hitting an 80 year old woman or something. We trained with those collapsible ASPs plenty and I was readily able to shield myself from direct blows and continue attacking. At worst I ended up with some bruises. You're not stopping anyone with those things unless either through intimidation, or if you get him in a soft spot like the knees or the nerve cluster up near the shoulder/neck area. We were trained to aim at those types of areas for just that reason. I had so little faith in those things I kept a PR-24 handy as much as I could. On top of that, in a lot of jurisdictions it's illegal for people to carry those collapsible batons around, falls under the same classification as things like brass knuckles. Be sure to check your local laws.
