<p>In "Akame Ga Kill!",Lubbock is wielding a very complex weapon (a Teigu actually) named Cross Tail,Infinite Possibilities I think...He used it in countless ways,as the name implies,so I was wondering if it would be at least theoretically possible to use such a weapon in an actual fight,with the enemy knowing about your presence and intentions.
I know that such a weapon could only be used for suffocation (stealthily,from the back) or by setting traps,and I'm not very sure about the second one anyway.
Now,I'd like to hear some opinions!</p>

Erm... Are you asking if one could use a thread-based weapon in ***real life***, or are you asking if Lubbock is capable of wielding his Teigu in an actual (non-stealthy) fight? If it's the latter, Lubbock *did* use his Teigu in actual combat several times, most notably when he confronted and killed 2 Rakshasa Demons single-handedly.

I'm asking if one could efficiently use a thread-based weapon in real life,sorry if I wasn't clear enough...

Is it possible to wield a weapon similar to Lubbock's?
