[edit] Torture?

I've never heard of pistol-whipping being used for torture. Aren't rubber truncheons more common, as they leave less marking and aren't as likely to break bones? It seems to me you'd have to either be a very good pistol-whipper or use a very light force to avoid killing someone with even two or three pistol-whips to the head. A pistol is a very dangerous blunt instrument. Wouldn't this be better categorized under violence than torture? Can anyone cite the usage of pistol-whipping for torture? -Kasreyn 05:48, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't seem like torture, as torture is more psychological...feel free to change the cat. be bold!--Urthogie 08:24, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Related Terms

Should the term "buttstroking" (using the stock/butt of a larger gun as a weapon) be included in this article? I don't have enough expertise in this area to feel qualified to edit the article directly. Fledchen 12:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
