Robin's Battle Staff

Robin (Tim Drake) employs a collapsable Chinese fighting gun, given to him by the assassin known as Lady Shiva. The original staff was approximately 1.5 meters in length and constructed of sturdy bamboo reeds. Robin modified the weapon by carving small holes on each end, enabling the staff to generate a distractive whistling sound whenever it is put to use. Robin has found this extremely effective in keeping opponents off guard, allowing him to gain an upper hand in fights where he would otherwise be outnumbered.

First appearance: Robin (Volume 1) #4.
