JediKnight707 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 When your fighting someone hand-to-hand, you need speed and/or strength (or a really ****ty oponent). When *injuring* somebody with a rifle, you need hand-eye coordination, but you know that if you hit this person, that person is likely to be in a serious, serious amount of pain, and your going to possibly kill them. When fighting with your hands you don't have the same kind of destruction you get via a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An M-16 at 500 m doesn't do as much damage as a mace in close combat. Melee combat deals just as much damage as ranged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediKnight707 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Melee combat deals just as much damage as ranged. I was just talking about fists, not weapons (in hand-to-hand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Then you're off topic as we were talking about melee in general. Besides, if I punch you in the right place you can die from internal bleeding after barely 2 mins. I don't remember the name, it's the hole between your thoracic cage and your abdomen. Besides, this was mainly about honor in battle (at least my original point was). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediKnight707 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Well yes if you get hit in the right place, you will die pretty fast (if you get hit hard enough in your nose, the bone will fly back and hit your brain and then your screwed ). But I have akready said my final words on this subject, and remember, we all have diferent opinoins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 dude, how the heck does bombing smurfs turn into a discussion about what form of combat is more effective?? anyways, make sure you guys are getting back on topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Source Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Sword or rifle, I think it's pretty dumb, just as war is. War for the right reasons? Hmmm... this confuses me. Maybe if people would stop being complete ****heads we wouldn't have to fight wars. As far as I can tell there have been no reasonable wars. War is sometimes necessary... World War I and II are fine examples. When it comes to the United States, the Revolutionary and Civil Wars were also necessary. The War on Iraq was also important. If you look at Sadam's history, he took the country over by killing close and confrontational friends and enemies. Sadam's policies are based upon paranoia, power, and domination. When Sadam was in power, he used his people as sheilds, he killed children by the hundreds, and he gasses his own people. There is a large list of garbage he is responsible for. Sadam's sons where also involved with killing children. Sadam's hero was Starline (splg?). I forget who was president of Iraq before him, but Sadam had him killed, and then took over with the power of the Iraqi army. Tell me something!? Does Sadam deserves a fair trial? Did anyone say anything about human rights when he killed people? So, war is dumb? Tell that to everyone who died in World War II by one of the most satanic people on Earth... Hitler was close to World domination, and his killing spree could have been endless. War is very important! (Sorry for being off topic.) Instead of being "sorry" for off-topic, try not posting off-topic stuff after a moderator has already given a warning on the matter. - ChAiNz.2da Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Ok, now this is fully off-topic and open flame bait. We don't need another war on Iraq thread, please can a mod close this before it gets really ugly? You know that it's going to get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Source Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I think people have to be reminded about the past, so they can learn from previous mistakes... My grandfather faught in WWII. My dad faught in Persian Gulf War and Desert Storm. I lost a friend in Desert Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
