A couple dudes with rifles backed up by a couple dudes with polearms would be pretty badass. Getting shot sucks but you can’t vusualize it like you can a spear to the gut or a halberd swipe to the knees.

Quote HistoryQuoted: No weapon is stupid if it works That's a good point. Have any of the non-firearm weapons worked in these riots? Other than bricks vs cringing helpless unarmed non-combatants. |

I'll tell you what that cold steel indian war club is unwieldy. You'd better make contact.
 I may have had an aimless moment.

For whatever reason these protesters can't use guns so they improvise... But yes for us on defense use guns all the way, best choice.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's all about context. Quote HistoryQuoted: It's all about context. Quoted: No weapon is stupid if it works Both of these. I wouldn’t choose a melee weapon for defense if I had a choice, but some people don’t have much choice. I’d go crossbow first if I had to, but given everything else...you gotta do what you gotta do. Though I will say the under-AR mounted chainsaw is simply awesome. Can’t argue with that. |

For melee weapons to work, you need training, situational awareness and you actually need intent to follow through with violence. As shown in videos from this and other events, simply showing up with a weapon doesn't make you invincible.
Same deal even if you have a gun. Yes with a gun your chances are better, but if the crowd calls your bluff or somehow isn't deterred by the threat of injury or death, you very well may be stomped into the ground and your shit stolen if your position is not ideal. |

The sword guy made the mistake of going out to meet them. He should have waited inside his doorway and put 2 feet of steel through the first guy in the door, so that the second guy would see a foot of steel coming out his co-conspirator's back, and have second thoughts about the whole endeavor.
Luckily, I own guns, so shouldn't find myself in that situation. |

Nah, imagine he had a typical carry gun with one mag.
If he approached it the same way, he’d have emptied it all into the ground and ended up in the same place. He was lacking a brain, not a weapon. |

A guy who knows what he is doing with a sword and has a proper one will fuck you and you friends up bad and do it quickly. Just because one guy does it poorly and there are much better options doesn't mean it cant work.
