And now time for another exciting episode of Samurai in Argentina
Sword Ping!!!
We haven’t had a sword ping in a while... And when we do, it’s a doozy.
:-)
Does that mean that you can bring a knife (or sword) to a gunfight and win?! ... :-) ...
The katana is peculiarly well-suited for fighting multiple attackers.
Since I was a small kid I have liked knives, swords, darts, spears etc.
I have several swords but none of them are good quality. I do have maybe a dozen machetes and most of them are excellent, even some of the cheaper ones. IMO the Ontario machetes made for the U.S. military are the best I have found and that includes some very expensive ones.
An Ontario machete will clear ground faster than anything below a bush hog..
For some reason I have always had an innate fear of edged weapons.
Right beside my bed right now is a Winchester Defender with 7 shots of buck. A Browning Hi-Power loaded with silvertips., a Hungarian .380, a regular club axe and a Fiscars hatchet. All of these are within easy reach except the axe and shotgun.
And there were a couple twits in the comment section who wanted the homeowner punished - one even wanted manslaughter which is strange since no one was actually slaughtered. Most of the rest were bemoaning British and other Euro laws against self defense and mentioning that if it happened in the US the burglars would have been shot by the home owners. Yes, foreigners, we all have machine guns and will shoot anyone who looks at our houses.
He bled those boys real good! lol
I’m picturing some sort of Jackie Chan movie. I mean did nobody pull a trigger?
Rough observation:
A gun is a linear / 1-dimensional damage weapon.
A sword is a planar / 2-dimensional damage weapon.
Guns tend to win because of their range advantage.
Be very afraid of being in range of a sword.
Ain't something they'll quickly forget.
There can be only one!!
And now time for another exciting episode of Samurai in Argentina
It’s just a flesh wound. I’ve had worse.
I notice it’s from the Daily Mail.
In Airstrip One that would get the homeowner arrested.
Clearly, Sr. Costa’s style of martial arts was superior to theirs.
It could have been worse. In Brazil all 4 of them would have “shot” trying to elude police.
Yabu approves.
No need for that amount of violence
I was quite disappointed that there were not pictures of the pieces which had been hacked off of the burglars.
Leaving a few pieces behind would cure them for a good long time...
That’s some mighty fine Saber Rattling. Meanwhile in the U.S.A., a homeowner shoots and kills a man, a young German student who broke into his house. This homeowner is now in prison for the next 20 years. I think the homeowners last name was Karma. Ironic.
