a gun can do a lot of damage but not every gun can. a 22 is a joke and many laugh at 9's. buck shot isnt reliable in terms of stopping power if your not point blank

a sword can hit and cause a larger wound pattern than a bullet if the person is strong and the blade is sharp

guns dont scale. a weak person and a strong person firing the same gun makes no difference on the damage it will do to the target only the user

You just point and kill someone/something. There's no skill, physical ability, or anything like that really involved.

One of the first things you're taught in a CC class is to never assume somebody with a knife can't fuck you up just because you're packing.

historically the strength of the user was just as important as his skill with the weapon for military archery since it allowed you to use larger bows and hit targets further away. The independence of crossbows and early firearms from the user's strength was their biggest advantage (in addition to being much easier to train someone to competency with).

He could technically be correct. Most rounds you're going to be able to buy for a nugget aren't hollow points. An x54R might have more velocity than a .50AE, but a .50AE hollow point would certainly cause more damage to flesh than a regular old spitzer x54R.

Anyone with even a lamen's understanding of physics (like me) knows that a gun typically outdamages a melee weapon in real life, like how bullets can penetrate steel plate but a sword was fuckin' useless against that shit, bruv. Without delving into the physics of it, the whole armor thing should be enough anecdotal evidence right there to prove the point.

However, from a gameplay perspective, it makes sense for a close range unit/character to deal more damage than a long range one, otherwise what would be the point of using anything else?

>a gun can do a lot of damage but not every gun can. a 22 is a joke and many laugh at 9's.

Getting shot with a .22 is literally like having an ice pick rammed into your body.
A 9mm round will fuck your ass up too.
Getting your body perforated with buckshot is going to fuck your ass up.

Whether you're stopped dead in your tracks and killed immediately or not, getting shot in your core mass by any gun is going to greatly inhibit what you can do and without prompt treatment will likely kill you in the vast majority of cases.

Beyond that 9mm hallowpoints have a far more deadly ballistic profile that .45 FMJs and when you compare .45 hallowpoints to 9mm hallowpoints the difference isn't that significant.
Factoring in the greater ammo capacity of guns chambered for 9mm vs. .45 ACP that's potentially more rounds coming at you at a negligibly lower "stopping power" when considering hallowpoints, and even when not 9mm FMJs are still very lethal, so that's all to say that 9mm firearms are preferable and more efficient killing weapons compared to .45s when you load them with hallowpoints.

And it's a lot harder to prevent getting shot than it is getting slashed by a sword and getting shot will wreck your shit.
So no, swords are not more powerful than guns and scaling is irrelevant since guns just plain fuck your ass up.

its also worth noting that any shot in your upper abdomen will be fatal without medical attention even if it doesn't hit your heart.

Breathing functions on a vacuum, when you breath in your diaphragm expands creating empty space that gets filled by air, then when you breath out it contracts pushing air out. If you add a second hole into that system you can't get a vacuum so you'll suffocate unless you can get it patched up.

>modifying the gun makes the bullets do more damage

Actually, depending upon the modification, this would have an impact upon the ballistics of the round.

If you compare a similarly rifled 6 inch barrel to an 18 inch barrel, the round exiting the 18 inch barrel will be more accurate and powerful. Think of it like a runway, the round can accelerate longer with a longer barrel.
As soon as the round leaves the barrel the pressure behind it dissipates and the round begins losing velocity.
So, adding a longer barrel would increase the velocity of a round, thus improving the "damage."
So, yeah, that's how it works.

You people with your whole "muh honorable swords" thing going on sound like I did when I was a 15-year-old virgin.

Get out in the world, learn about some things that really matter, and broaden them damn horizons.

What we all need to understand is that weapons development doesn't care about personal preference or what's cooler or more honorable, it only cares about what works. If swords were still viable in today's battlefields, we'd still use them, and I don't know about you but I don't really see any outside of ceremonial use.

Don't get me wrong, swords are beautiful, deadly works of art in the right hands, and they will always have their spot in history, but in today's world they've just been outmoded.

Most people want to do this little thing called "surviving" when placed into a combat situation, and they're going to use whatever weapons platform they can get ttheir hands on to maximize their chance at survival.

Having to fight someone is bullshit anyways, only adolescents or mentally/emotionally unstable people will tell you otherwise, and if shooting your ass with a rifle will let me come home to my wife and my dog at the end of the day, I'd do that every single time instead of risking getting sliced and diced by some jumped up kid with an overinflated sense of purpose/honor.

Just sayin

Oh. Well, you're absolutely right about that. I was just responding to the people that are talking in real life terms.

>You just point and kill someone/something. There's no skill, physical ability, or anything like that really involved.

You've never fired a gun and your logic is literally retarded.

A sword is easier to use than a gun.

If I sat in front of you an unloaded pistol, and told you to load it, and hit a target 15 yards away you'd probably not even be able to get the gun to work.
You'd have to figure out how to eject the magazine, load the magazine, load the loaded magazine back into the firearm, probably try shooting it at that point and be confused as to why it's not firing, and then look for the safety mechanism, find it and flick it to what you think is the off position, try to fire again and still have it not work.
It's not difficult to operate a firearm, but without some basic knowledge of how they work you'll have a difficult time figuring out how to make it even fire.
And then you'll miss like fucking crazy because you don't know how to shoot and will likely miss to the right on every single shot.

If I handed you a sword and told you to go cut a watermelon in half you could do it without any issue.
You would not struggle making a sword work for it's intended purpose at all.

Sword fighting is a different story, but so is gun fighting.
It takes skill to defeat another individual armed with a firearm.

The fact you can kill a skilled swordsman with a gun very easily only demonstrates what a shitty obsolete weapon a sword is. It does not demonstrate that guns do not require skill, only that they're a much better weapon.

A gunshot in the diaphragm would affect the movement of breathing not the vacuum. The second hole thing would imply that the lungs do comunicate with the empty space of the body or coelom (which definately doesn't happen). Or maybe I misunderstood.

It males you feel old. I used to think that kind of thing was the shit when I was an angsty teen. When Cowboy Bebop first aired on Adult Swim I used to think Sid Vicious or whoever was awesome for using a sword (just like I would you guise!) but now whenever I see something like that I find it so utterly cringeworthy. Then you realize the industry caters almost exclusively to young boys and manchildren, and the depressing realization that you've outgrown all this shit starts to set in, and you're not really "with" what's cool anymore.

I'm sorry, but if you're looking towards an animated medium for realism, you might be fucking retarded.
The whole point of anime is all the unrealistic, but fun to imagine shit they can do with it.

It's fun to imagine someone with supernatural speed and strength that fucks shit up with a katana.
Guns are cool too. I own a few and love the sport, but I'm not going to go deaf to a character just because the story insists the character whips ass with a sword.
It doesn't need to be realistic.

No, an autistic person would struggle to understand that other people like different things and think differently,and that they're not automatically wrong for it.
Bear in mind that just because YOU don't think something is cool, doesn't mean it isn't cool. Katanas and swords are stylish, compact, and look good in motion, so naturally it's easier to make interesting looking animation built around sword combat than gun combat.

This reminds me of a story my dad told me.
He once worked at a convenience store in which he got robbed at gun point. After that he bought a gun a kept it on his side, that is until he thought about it. If somebody tried to rob the store with a gun again and he pulled his gun on the robber, he's much more likely to get shot then if he didn't pull a gun on the robber.
He told me since I was a kid: people who carry guns around tend to get shot at more then people who don't, and if you're in a place in which you feel a need for a gun you're in the wrong place.
He owns some guns and so do I, but we don't carry them around. I can't help but to feel people can benefit from realizing this. Don't keep a gun on you.

>idiot not knowing a stab wound is more lethal than a basic gunshot wound.
It's not the same as saying knives are more dangerous than guns. Also this only stands to a point, when you get up to the right kind of ammo at a big enough size, it starts to blow limbs off the body and is definitely more lethal.

Oh I'm still a big kid at heart, I won't deny that. I'm in the process of downloading Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon as we speak.

It's the angsty teen shit that I find so exhausting now. It's difficult to explain. But, obvious bullshit like countless tired anime tropes about edgy skinny girlymen with their superpowers taking themselves so seriously just...wears me down, man.

Like, I enjoy colorful kiddy stuff all day erry day, it makes me happy. But if you want me to enjoy something "serious," then I've reached the point where I need it to NOT be retarded in order to properly enjoy it. Does that make sense?

I'm saying fuck you. I've been shot at before and the last thing I was thinking about was "How upsetting they haven't chosen an honorable Sabre duel."

And whilst you are getting shot at it's next to impossible to know if you've even hit something until it's all over. Most the time we only find out if we actually hit someone was when we'd sweep their position afterward.

I'm legit pissed off at how fucking retarded you are.

Swords are do more damage than guns though. Guns have range that swords don't though. Bullet wounds are small holes through the body, whereas hacking someone with a sword cuts off limbs and gives giant gashes much bigger than a typical bullet hole.

Depending on the type of bullet used that's completely reasonable, and it depends on how you measure damage really.
One shot to the gut you'll puncture the intestines, and the person will suffer a lot and they will die.
But with one sword swing you can completely eviscerate that same person from side to side, pretty much disemboweling him.

>>
>>318691045
Rifle bullets can and regularly do disembowel people. It depends on the angle of the impact.
Gun shots should always do more damage. Not only will the bullet puncture the victim, but the velocity of the round will also cause physical trauma.
Hydrostatic shock is what happens when a bullet strikes someone at such a high velocity that the impact creates a shock wave that will travel through the blood and cause further trauma. Most notably strokes.
The force generated by a gun vs your sword arm are not even comparable.

Ranged weapons typically are less damaging than melee weapons, even in real life.

A gun or arrow only deals damage to one location with maximum penetration. Bullet goes in, bullet goes out. A single hole.

A sword on the other hand deals massive damage to a larger area. A sword can cleave off whole body parts and limbs. A bullet cannot.

It's proven with science. Honestly, I don't see how anyone can argue this. The only reason why someone would pick a gun over a sword is due to the inherent benefits of using a ranged weapon vs melee.

It depends if it's an authentic katana or a modern imitation. Real katanas were made using techniques no modern smith even knows about. They were virtually unbreakable and could cut through human bone like paper.

You wouldn't be able to do that with most of the simple european swords represented in video games though, I'll grant you that.
