Let's assume that the stick is 10cm in diameter, 150cm in length (which is around 5 feet) and completely solid because it's evident that survivors in R2DA have nigh-infinite strength since they can move in Bulldozer with a 50c, an RPG, a defib, and many other tools without breaking a sweat. If this is possible, then carrying a metal stick and swinging it with relative ease is completely plausible as well.

We end up with 12,566.37cm^3 of volume from the cylinder formula, which is pi*radius^2*h. Once we get that number, we now need to assume what the material of the bat is made of. Since it's metal, I'll assume it's made of solid steel, which has a mass of 8g/cm^3. We then multiply that number by the 12,566.37cm^3, and we end up with 100,530.96g, which is approximately 100kg, which is also approxmately 221lb. This is already plausible to lift, as the world record for deadlifting is 1,155 pounds. We now use the kinetic energy formula with conjunction to the 50mph that I assumed in the previous analysis (1/2mass*velocity^2), which ends up in 25041.5 J, which can be then converted to 25041.5N-m. At impact, the staff has approximately 25,000 newtons of force, which is 12-13x the amount of force required to decapitate a head (2000N). A 9mm bullet which weighs 115 grains (7g) and travels at 1230 feet per second (muzzle velocity of a Glock-17) has 524J of force. In essence, if the staff was the size that I described, it has the force of approximately 47 bullets fired from a handgun.

I rest my case.
