Ball-peen hammers are actually very common as household death implements...I read this book called "What Cops Know" and they featured quite prominently. I know you needed to know that.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I suspect erika's reading list would scare the shit out of me.
I would think claw hammers were much more common.
I forget the type of hammer featured in this week's Dexter, but it was neither ball-peen nor claw, to my recollection.
Dwarven war hammer?
The problem with the claw hammer is that the claw will get stuck in the skull.
You don't want penetration on a traumatic head blow. You want a peen.
Latest swine flu rumor I heard on the internet: Donald Rumsfeld is invested in the companies making the vaccine, and he's stirring up fear of the flu so that he can make a profit on the vaccine. Also, in Canada, the population being hit most severely by the flu is First Nations, so it must be some sort of genocide conspiracy.

I'd use the other end, I'm just saying I think more people own claw hammers than ball peen hammers. I'd never even heard of one until I read "Harrison Bergeron".

Too blunt, maybe? The peen offers the perfect kill stroke of a penetrating blow without any danger of sticking in the head.
Not too sharp, not too blunt. It'd kill Goldilocks dead.
