The RRB is also effective for ground defense. This assures the user that he will more likely be able to solve the defensive problems without using deadly force.

Their hollow design takes away from their impact power. This often causes the user to strike repeatedly to get the effects he would expect from one strike with a solid baton. Of even greater concern is the chance that the baton will collapse during the fight. Maybe it has even happened to you. As soon as I struck the individual, my collapsible baton collapsed.
