How to use "Nightstick" in context?
When most people think of a nightstick, they might visualize a large, wooden club. But in reality, a nightstick can be just about anything that fits the prescribed definition.
That said, most nightsticks fall into one of two categories: those that are made of metal, and those that are made of plastic. While metal nightsticks are typically heavier and more durable, plastic nightsticks are typically cheaper and come with a longer lifespan.
Regardless of the material used, all nightsticks are designed to be effective as blunt instruments. That means they're typically designed to inflict blunt force damage on flesh, bone, and other soft tissues.
