10 Most Brutal TV Weapons

10. Razor Flat Caps - Peaky Blinders

The Shelby family's Peaky Blinders gang aren't afraid to get their hands dirty to expand their criminal empire across Birmingham and the rest of England. The head of the family, Thomas Shelby, has used his cunning to remove more than his fair share of nemeses in the show's five seasons.

But why do they call themselves the Peaky Blinders? Well, in the show, that's attributed to the razors in their hats, that can be used as a quick blinding tool to get the edge in hand-to-hand combat. First used to blind Lee family members who insulted the Shelby brothers' mother, these barbed bonnets are grimly effective in slashing the faces of those that cross their path.

Perhaps the silver lining to this weapon is that there's no historical evidence that the real Peaky Blinders had access to razors due to how expensive they were in the early 20th Century. The word "blinder" could either derived from Midlands slang for something impressive, or how gang members would sneak up behind victims and put the hat over their face so they couldn't identify who they robbed.

Whatever the case, many enemies of the show's Peaky Blinders aren't so lucky in avoiding swipes from these pointed flat caps. Blink, and they'll miss it.
