Gun vs Knife, which weapon would you use.

Recommended Posts

Given a choice I would retreat and/or call the cops but failing that I would use a gun. Why should I give anyone a fair chance at hurting me. Even if he is half my size and armed with a broken bottle I would still prefer to not risk using a knife if I can disable him from outside his swinging range with a gun. When my own safety is in question "fair" does not enter the equation.

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Not enough information.

What conditions are set? What was done to incur my wrath? I typically wouldn't want to kill.... but what is my motivation here? Also which gun? (A 'lil 22 with a silencer? 50 cal?) Vs. what knife? (Claymore? Dagger with a kris blade?) What distance? Whats the target? One mark or a team? How many friendlies? Risk of collateral damage? Risk of disclosure?

Can't answer your question.

I use both ;)

Depending on the circumstances, it's not always practical to use a gun. However, as has been stated already, I'd rather use a gun than a knife. If I'm close enough to an attacker to be able to stab him, then he's close enough to do the same sort of harm to me. Not good.

Yep..........seem to be! :D



That just reminded me of a funny story. I was sitting next to my truck wearing all my body armor, M-4 slung, pistol on, and I had pulled out my large CRKT folding knife for something. Some clown Air Force officer was walking by and asked "Get a chance to use that yet?" (For some reason people, both American and Iraqi, seem to think I am some secret warrior killer or some shit.:D) I looked up.......with a really serious face and replied "All the time........" Long dramatic pause "I must have opened a couple HUNDRED beers with this thing by now." :D:D:D He looked confused and walked away.
