> One would think that even the WoW crowd is smart enough to realize that a crossbow isn’t very good in a street fight.
I would not want to meddle with someone wielding a crossbow in the street — particularly if he knew how to use it.
Crossbows are at least as lethal as a hi-powered rifle, and much easier to use and control with much less recoil and much less noise. A crossbow can kill you stone dead, no worries. A good one can fire a bolt thru the side of a car and still be lethal.
Some of them are not much larger than a pistol, reasonably easy to conceal.
Oh, I know that . . . I simply envision a street fight as being more of the close-quarters sort of combat.
The axe will prevail in hand to hand.
Run from the axe, run toward the crossbow.
