Garrots are sweet weapons. they are a piece of piano wire (the ones used to make the sound) attached to two pegs (one on each end)they are super thin and very strong to boot. you grasp the two pegs and you use it as a choking device. although, the thin wire usually cuts right through the neck possibly cutting viens and the trachea. This is a very good weapon for the silent assassian.

Ahhh, stealth is my specialty, if you want a good garrot wire, go to a camping store and request a 'wire bush saw' it is a wire with small loops at each end, and it had small cutting edges attached to the wire, a very good weapon/tool

The method I was taught to use a garrot at "The Farm" is very efficient. I'll try to explain it in words here:

The wire is looped over the victims head and around his neck from behind. Now, holding the handles firmly, you duck under the wire and turn your back on the victim. You are now back to back and the handles are on either side of your ears. From here you bend forward (actually bend over as far as you can) and lift the victim off the ground by his neck, Thus strangling him. If steel piano wire is used the wire will dig into his neck and practically sever his head off.

This method is VERY effective. The victim cannot fight back or gouge out your eyes, an often taught technique to counter this type of assault.

My favorite technique is to come up from behind and throw the garrot around the targets neck. Now twist it 180o so it is secured, when it is in place kick the targets legs out from behind them and immediatly begin to drag them. This action you may still be facing them and have COMPLETE control over the Target

yeah that is a good way. but what i prefer (not that i have actaully tried it) is to place the garrot around there neck. then place both knees in the back of the vict. and hang there with all your weight being supported by the wire around there neck. Needless to say if you are a big guy, they are fucking screwed.

Lazy Mans Garrot:

Take one of those long plastic ties used to tie re-bar together (cops use them to tie peoples hands together) and throw it over the guys neck. Then zip it closed tightly. It is impossible to get this off wihthout a blade. You can stand back and watch this guy die.

yeah that would work Killer. But if you are a crazy lune that enjoys stuff like this. my way is better. al though your way IS much better if you do not want to get caught. just slip it on and run away into the night. wear a pair of gloves and it is a near perfect killing device.
