Manriki Gusari
The manriki gusari is two blunt weights linked by a length of chain. The weapon tends to be shorter than its two cousins (mentioned above), and for that reason can be more easily concealed. However, it is longer than nunchaku (below), and is meant primarily for grappling. The weights strengthen any fettered entanglement from the chains; an enemy trying to escape such a grapple suffers a –1 penalty to his escape roll. A character can also use the weapon’s weighted ends to bash opponents.
