The man and his mindset are the important parts. I find the poster's premise delusional: You're willing to kill someone with violent and bloody slashes but unwilling to use a modern weapon that gives you ability to control an area up to 25 yards away?Ī weapon is a weapon, regardless of the technology involved. But feel free to extrapolate in the comments! :-) I could go on, but must keep the Q&A short. ![]() And a shotgun, well - that one is pretty self expanitory. ![]() Unless you are a trained killer, facing off against another human being with a sword can cause a moment of hesitation, while with a bat - you can go to town on them.
