Within certain conditions a sword can pose a threat against a firearm, but not beyond it’s length. There’s a reason it’s not used anymore.
A sword is not exactly CQC. Also, you don’t really have to aim accurately from that close, it’s enough to hit somewhere, where it hurts.
It still doesn’t do much if the guy with the sword is slow and predictable, and someone without training is that probably.

The reason they’re not used is because they’re big and bulky to carry around. Compare that to a combat knife which you can forget you even have most of the time.
Also most swords aren’t that “slow and bulky”. They’re only unwieldy because you’re holding them in only one hand, at the very end. Alternatively someone swinging a normal, one handed sword wildly with both their arms may not look very impressive, or even hold any real skill behind it, but it’s not going to be slow.
Is there a thread for this weapons debate already? I’d swing this back toward art but previous post of mine still true.
Oh Cataclysm.
Oh my god is that seriously how it goes down that is adorable. Cutest cannibal ever.
It’s probably a little less adorable when you remember that character has been abusing the mutagens (beast-flavored, mostly) and can run down a wolf and overpower a hulk, but hey.
I have a terrible grasp of what constitutes adorable, but I think ‘fuzzywuzzy like a kittycat’ arguably makes this slightly less an act of cannibalism.
Feh, still great.
A NEW ARTIST APPROACHES! YEssssssss feed my delicious habit OCO omnomnom arty goodness.
Even with a gas mask on, the confusion shines through. That caused a good giggle. Nice!
Sorry for derailing, carry on, master.
I like it, all three of it.
I was thinking of another comic involving my post-wasteland adventures, this one focusing on me realizing the book is “To Serve Man” and not “To Serve A Man”, and is in fact, not a guide to bluterly/maiding.

Oh, its awesome!
In a quest to figure out how to get rid of the fungal monsters spawning nearby, I took to a very physical approach. I am pleased with the results.
The answer to every question in this game is ram a truck into it.
That or set it on fire.
… or both.
As you know, science is basically drinking random liquids and seeing what happens.

Or, now hear me out on this one. What if, what if you ram something with a flaming truck?
Hey dudes, im thinking into making some tilesets for this game. What about if we all make a community based tileset? I posted into the drawing board, but no one replied. So…
Haha, sounds good… But different artists kind of draw in different styles… And will look weird.
Personally, I like the ASCII and will stick with it, but I know there are many others on here who are waiting on the Tile Set support.
