    yeah, that’s not my point though, do you think swords were designed to sit on a wall and look pretty? They were an instrument of war.

    My point is pretty explicit. Also, melee weapons, in particular ranged melee weapons can be incredibly dangerous. You need to be close sure, but you can be behind someone, or they could simply not be paying attention, or you could be concealing a knife as you walk past someone for instance. Technically you can do it with a gun also, but a knife is vastly easier to control.

    Likely not as dangerous, but idk how good those stats would be to begin with, a well placed knife wound can fuck someone up proper. Even a center of mass shot with a gun can be trivial to survive.

    Also i’m pretty sure 10 a second is hyperbolic, 1 per second i suppose.

    Even pistols are way to dangerous. Also, swords are highly regulated in some states.

    im pretty sure most states highly regulate guns as well, there are a few that have pretty lax carry laws. But it’s questionable how much impact those have.
