Showdown

[Breton Thief Oriana]

Hmm....tough one for me. If we could post images from our own computer, Id out it up and show you this comic. Doesnt matter, its in my sig.

 

Id have to see that, If im going into a gunfight, I might as well bring the knife. Ya never know when it could come in handy.

But it would also depend... Could I bring my .50 cal Desert Eagle? Could I bring my Scimitar?

 

Support Minnesota's Conceal and Carry law. Not a single violent gun crime has been committed by anyone licensed by the state to carry a concealed firearm. Further, it promotes active gun registration and requires gun safety training. Just don’t go to any showdowns.

Hmm, one of the slightly less obscure polls. I have one question though: How do you define "knife" :D

 

vandorssen's point is debateable (but not here), so lets just go with the thread at face value. For myself, a knife is always an option, but a secondary one. You have to be within arm's reach of a guy to use your blade, while a gun has a handy little feature called "range".

AK-47 >>>>> knife. Fairness is not a word in my vocabulary.

 

 

Hm, I take it back.... add a bayonet and get both!

[Marxist ßastard]

...Yes, and both a railgun and a minigun could easily beat out an AK-47. Don't make me bust out my old General Electric.

 

And loveme... THIS is a knife!

[wesaynothin]

I would... but I'd only use it if I somehow ran out of grenades.

 

 

(What!?! Grenade Launchers are guns too y'know.)

I don't know how useful a knife could be against a gun. Remember Indiana Jones - and that was a sword!

[Dark0ne]

And loveme... THIS is a knife!

Classic, absolute classic. You forgot the aussie accent though.

 

Go to whipe the dust off my Croc. Dundee videos and watch them again.

My own view - it really depends on the circumstances. After all, if you can sneak up behind your opponent and slice his windpipe open before he even knows you're there, then it doesn't matter that a gun outranges a knife. It's quieter too. :shifty:

 

Of course, if you're talking about a duel, I'd take both. ;)

[Breton Thief Oriana]

Yes, im talking about an oldfashioned, six-shooter showdown, like in the cliche westerns.
