Are Tonfā only practical when dual wielded?
Im Working on a vigilante type character as a fun little side project and when i thought what weapon he'd use i thought Tonfā because i always thought they're fighting style looks so cool!
But his character is based in a more gritty scenario kind of like Batman's city gotham so i thought only using a close range weapon could be a death sentence in such a dark world so my idea was what if he uses both Tonfā and a gun with sleeping Darts so one hand a Tonfā and one hand the dart gun or depending on situation he could also dual wield either!
But I've never in a realistic setting seen someone wield a single Tonfā other than anime and such, so mainly out of curiosity i wanted to ask if this idea if mine makes any real world sense or if I'll just chalk it up as fiction logic?
