dickie Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Sword Vs. Gun What I want to know is, if the swordsman and the gunman faced off using the weapons, who would win then? If they had to draw, my money would still be on the swordsman methinks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay316 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 i dont know, a round has alot more of a reach out and touch you effect at distance compared to the sword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FA sear Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have seen Bob Munder draw and fire at a target in less than a couple tenths of a second. I did a good amount of sword fighting in my day, and I can tell you that the draw of a 5" barrel is much quicker than the draw of a 36" blade, or even a much shorter 24" blade for that matter.

Historically, many men fall in infantry charges agains ranged weapons. One on one, with the accuracy of today's firearms, I don't think a swordsman could even get close.
