The gun is not the weapon. I'm the weapon.

The knife is not the weapon, I'm the weapon.

The crowbar is not the weapon, I'm the weapon.

The cricket bat with half a dozen finishing nails driven into it (an old favorite of mine) is not the weapon. I'm the weapon.

The advantage of the gun is that I'm a lot more dangerous a long ranges than I am with a crowbar or an enhanced cricket bat. That said, ammo is expensive....
