Default Very Interesting Question

A user Called Obsessed put this question in one of the Posts...anyway i thought this question is REALLY interesting so i thought id make a post just for it and see what you guys thought <thanks obssessed!!>

the question: If stranded on an island where you had to defeat an opponent to leave, and he was a skilled martial artist, would you rather have 20+ years of fighting experience under your belt or a handgun/knife?

~i myself would like to have the 20+ years of fighting experience, i dont like handguns that much, id like to beat him with my hands

~what about you guys?!

It depends on how much training you've got with the pistol or blade, right?

Cool, shoot him then fight him. LOL, you get more from a kind word and a gun than from just a kind word.

Not trying to confuse the question, but what if the dude on the island knows the island like the back of his hand, is really good with camoflauge/concealment and specializes in knife-gun disarms?

PS - your scenario sounds alot like a plot from a certain Bruce Lee movie...

Keep it simple: use the pistol.

I'd rather defeat the opponent in hand to hand, then pistol whip him, then shoot him.

(Then I'd hope Ginger and Mary Ann would show up!!)

That's a hunger-heat-induced hallucination, bro...what you think are Giner and Mary Ann are really a palm tree and a smelly camel.

good technical question i guess. I'd rather have 20+ years of experience, personally I DON'T like guns and would take a knife over a gun anyday.
