Could you have dropped all 8 of the assailants before they reached you?
Probably not, but you might get two or three - which is more than you'll get with a machete before they reach you.

Quote:
When one or more did reach you, what then? Keep shooting them as they hack off your arms, hands, and then your head.
Yes, I'll probably get another one or two before they kill me. Do you seriously think you'll do better with one blade against eight than one gun against six?
What the gun might do is kill enough to scare the others off before they get to you - the machete won't do this. Oh, wait - in the given example the gun did do this, didn't it?.

I think it is Idiotic to think that a firearm is an end all too self defense.
Every military culture in the world, without exception disagrees with you on the relative value of a gun vs. blade.
