What is a Tonfa melee weapon?

A Tonfa is a dual-wield melee weapon featuring a handle designed to increase grip allowing the user to generate more power when using it in the heat of battle. Infinity Ward says the Tonfa "delivers blunt trauma without risk of dulling or breaking," so you can get multiple uses out of it over the course of a match.
