I hear that, but, that is where bayonets come in. Or 19th century sabres.

As I said, guns are cowardly weapons designed only to make you look cool while killing from a distance.

If you really want to see a person's strength and spirit, put them in a sword fight.
Any old idiot can win a gun fight.
But it takes a skillful person with heart to win a sword duel.

Actually, I have an ancient sabre from China. I think it is dated from the 5th century B.C.

Also sabres before swords. I know how to use those from Shaolin.

swords and knives aren't that similar.

Swords without a doubt. I could list all my reasons but I don't want to go into a long rant.

Anyway, my choice was knife, I'm a big collector of knives and I always have one on me, they're effective tools and they let someone know you mean business.

And swords wouldn't? Honestly if you didn't have a gun on you (or anything else that can kill long range) and you see a guy with a sword, would you really want to go mess with him?

Out of those 3, sword by far.

I prefer a good ole' labrys or doubleheaded axe though.

by **fireedud** on Tue Dec 11, 2007 7:19 pm

I would prefer a dagger, but since there is no option, I chose sword which is just as cool.

You realize that a short sword could be reffered to as a dagger?

If someone had a gun and I had say handwraps, well, you don't bring a gun to a Strife fight.

Yes, I know. It's just that you can hold daggers backhand, while swords and most short swords you usually don't

Guns for show, knives for pro.

But I would take a staff, I prefer the non-lethal aproach, which is harder to achieve with an edged weapon. Plus the range is better, unless I was inside were some form of baton or tonfu would be better.

Swords are awesome but i had to go with knives just because they can be cool and you can throw them.

by **UnderSeage** on Wed Dec 12, 2007 8:03 pm
