My only thought on this matter comes from the fact that the only
nunchakus I've ever seen (except for one time, in a video game, so I
doubt that it counts:) had no sharp edges, points, or the like. So,
shouldn't the damage be Stun (I'd be thinking about what Tinner
suggested, or something like it...to be consistent with normal damage
codes though. I'd like to suggest a damage code of something like
(STR+[QCK/2])M Stun.
