SEPPUKU!

Oh yes.

Oh yes indeed.

No, what you do is this:

1. Take sword in both hands.
2. Run yourself through with it.
3. ????
4. PROFIT!

What kind of faggot owns a sword when I could blow your head off by the time you finish fucking around drawing the thing?

You're a fucking faggot.
You couldn't draw a damn gun of any kind before I had something sharp and pointy to your everything.
Get off my page, faggot.

That's always assuming that I'm not on some rooftop a couple hundred feet away.

I could understand a knife. A knife is practical. It's light, it's small, you can hit your opponent multiple times with it. A sword? If your opponent isn't a cripple and can move above a walk, then you're in deep shit and you know it. They're big, they're clunky, and most of the time they're heavier than fuck. The cool ones are anyway.

And all of this pales in comparison to the fact that anyone who knows how to properly use a handgun could smoke a sword user's ass, hands down, any day of the week.

Wrong on so many levels, except about the rooftop and the knife thing.
I use knives too, just as well as any pro, and my sword-play (Not so much play as it is kick-assery) is more than a match for some stupid fuck trying to shoot me.
Basically, fuck everything you've ever seen about swords.
I am not slow, I am not flashy, I don't yell out my moves, and I don't pretend to be a samurai.
I'm a fucking fighter.
I use them to hurt, dis-arm, and defeat.
My sword is an extension of my arm, and by default I will destroy any opponent within five feet, gun or not. And if they aren't within five feet, I throw my sheath like a hatchet.
Oh, on another note, ever thrown a hatchet? That shit is fun, man.
Seriously.

tl;dr hatchets rock

I tried throwing a hatchet once, when I was back in the Boy Scouts.

Can't say I was very good at it; stupid thing bounced off the wooden target and dropped on the foot of the guy directing the thing. Didn't hurt him or anything, but he looked pissed.

Yes never drop the sheath, good to block with >=3

Unless your going two handed style for more power o.o

wow you are a true warrior huh
