Name one situation where a sword could be matched by a gun.

YOUR FACE IS A SITUATION! HA! You're a beast, Cale..

There really is none. Know what I see a lot, Cale? Swords vs Guns....... stressed

These kids need to stop living in their bloody anime world, and realize, there's no way a human being can avoid gun shots unless you're in a sniper situation and you run a zig zag, etc. I see "well, a gun can run out of ammo!" Yeah? Who's to say it's not hard dodging a sword coming at you, and swinging one about requires little to no energy. A gun needs pretty much one shot (caliber sizes above .22) to tell a man, "Listen... I'm packin' heat." Combat knives, maybe. Swords, I don't think so. I haven't been in much action since Vietnam (lol jk), but, I doubt it beats good 'ol American Steel.

Sometime, MW, your sentences seem like randomly strung together fragments of though.

@Cale: When the shooter does not know of the presence of the sword bearer. A swift thrust wins in that situation.  

[Sol Walker]

Yeah. that works vise versa with a silenced pistol and at far safer ranges for the shooter.
One shot to the back of the head. Bam. Swordsman is down.
Hell, a sniper can do that from a mile away with a deer rifle.  

[Valkore Fraust]

...Your face is a fragment... razz lol You should see my hyperactive eek

I prefer combat knife over a sword. Nice, thick, juicy combat knife. Or a vibroblade.

I've got a SW related question; What's Boba Fett's Sonic Beam Emitter about? Never looked into it.  

[Sol Walker]

Te sonic beem emiter does exactly what it says: Emits a sonic beam, making it good for dealing with anyone with unprotected ears. Jedi cant block sonic weapons so thats another plus for it.
Basically its a bounty hunting tool used to incapacitate someone by means of rupturing their eardrums until they submit.  

[Valkore Fraust]

That's awesome. I want one now lol. How's it charged? Or... loaded, whatever.  

[Sol Walker]

Probably with an energy cell, but it probably goes through them faster than a blaster does.

Cale Darksun

Name one situation where a sword could be matched by a gun.

When you're out of ammo.

But I agree with your general point, Cale.  

[Sol Walker]

Experienced gunmen never run out of ammo.

Aurin, your dad's friend has a nice .45. My DEagle has a rail on it whee Pointless? Yeah. Cool? Hell yeah. I'm going to PA this weekend, we're probably gonna take it off. It's a bit front heavy. My 18 had a stock which was totally uber.

A rail can be pretty useful if you have the right counterparts...  

[Valkore Fraust]

Yeah, a red dot. But, red dots aren't very nice with battery power. Went out after about 20 minutes lol. I had a scope. That looked cool. Although I had to sit down with a wrist rest.

Experienced gunmen never run out of ammo lol. It's called the "Give All Cheat." jk  

[elvisnake]

Wow, MW, you didn't say "Your face never runs out of ammo"... I'm impressed. Lol.  

[Valkore Fraust]

lol I was going for it, but, you can only use it 2-3 times. Wait till I get to "That's what she said." rofl Biology is great, I use that perfectly.  

[Nelowulf]

Why do people think a gun is useless when you run out of ammo? Hasn't anyone ever heard of a Bayonet? Sure, he's out of ammo. Then you come down with a slice, gun blocks sword, butt smashes your nose, and then what? Oh yeah. Gun still has more versatility.

It's all dependent on the skill of the user. In the end, the gun wins over a sword merely due to versatility. But there is no situation where a blade can beat a gun that the situation can be flipped.

Here's one to consider: Why did the bow and arrow become the most powerful weapon, being the prime choice of the mongols who ruled an empire that covered most of asia?

Oh yeah, because you can't throw a sword very effectively.  

[Valkore Fraust]

rofl Damn skippy. If I ever met the man who dropped his weapon after being dry of ammo, I'd slap him. Your weapon is your friend, you and your weapon are defenders of peace. W/o your weapon, you are useless, without you, your weapon is useless.

Yeah, if I was dry, and some samurai was up against me, I think I'd try my best. Depends on the skill.

rofl You can throw a sword. Sure, you might fail miserably and kill no one, but, hey.
