Yeh, really tough aren't they? I see pants hanging past one's ass though. 
Ah you youngsters that have no idea of what a Sapper is. One gets a sock, inserts 3-4 rolls on nickles, ties it off snug and can bring down on the head of someone right smartly. The longer the sock the more velocity the weight will impact a victims head or face. Fore runnier of numb chucks, just a flick of the wrist and can be lethal.
I so believe that the term for someone being taken comes from this, reason why they are called Sapps.
