The continuing of the Guns VS Swords argument thread
 

Yeah, but I mean, that isn't as cool as like, breaking their neck or slitting their throat or jamming it into their stomach, and ripping it out throw the left side shoulder, taking bits and pieces of flesh and the half of a heart on the blade.




........Not that I think that's cool or anything.

Talkin Style, swords win, but fuctionality goes to guns.

You do know that this is most likely A. In the wrong thread, and B. Potentially considered spam? Personally, I want to see this issue resolved as well, but perhaps it owuld have been better to take it to the All-Purpose Battle Thread?

Anyway, guns would win against swords.

I know it's spam, but since when do the mods come here? And how is it in the wrong thread? And I doubt that all purpose battle thread would really work, as both sides would probably god mod. Hell, I might godmod. I don't wanna do that.

What's to prevent it from god-modding here? But now I'm getting off-topic.

Perhaps it is in the right place since it is an issue in an RP that needs to be resolved. Meh, just didn't seem that huge an issue, but whatever, I can do apathy about this since I usually am apathetic anyway...

What exactly is the argument? In terms of fuctionality, guns win. In terms of blood-spewing awesome-looking moves, swords win. Loudness, guns probally win because if you cut a guy he'll scream, but a silencer can quiet a gun. For coolness, I'd say gun, all cool looking swords suck at real combat. Etc. etc.

swords don't run out of ammo

I refer to kill bill vol. 2

Bride with Hanzo sword

Budd with walmart bought double Barrel shotgun

From the other thread:

If you think that, you need to gain some weight and go to a gym. My 11 year old sister could shoot a .22 all day and have a sore shoulder.

The only reason why Tom Cruise and company were not brutally sodomized in that movie was because the bad guy made a horrible decision (sending half of the force to see what happened). Even then, for all of their strategy, timing, skill, and training, the samuri took heavy losses.

And then, the samuri lost. Hard.

Next: If you have a katana in a narrow hall (as per your example)...you'd be a horrible disadvantage. This is because you have a four foot long sword in a hallway thats 8 feet wide and 10 feet tall. 2/3 of your effort will be directed into not sticking your sword in a wall. The other third will be dedicated to getting shot several times because you walked towards someone with a gun out.

And even if you snuck up on someone, a knife would be a better choice. A knife is more manuverable, quieter, easier to use, and will cause a clearner death than a sword.


I just needed to get that out of my system. I'm better now.

Then again, guns don't have the odd chance of completley shattering when you use them.
