Very Interesting Question

[angacam]

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.

Are you Italian?

[npk9]

I would rather have a gun.

20+ years of training. . . whatever.. . how many people do you know have 20+ years of training and they still amount to nothing.

If he is a trained fighter and you have no experience sneaking up on people than using the gun may be a little hard depending on how close you have to get. Unless you can get him in his sleep.

I'm gonna go with 20+ years of training in my art.

LOL, you ever hear of a scope? At 200 yards with a 30.06 I have no need of sneakin up on anyone.

Sides I already have 23 years of training. LOL

Or...if I was going to be on the island a long time...just overpower them and make them my punk. Might as well have a girlfriend, eh? When life gives you lemons...

Yea, you can always shoot em later if you need the food.

Yeah but he specified hand gun. No handgun I ever heard of is accurate at 200 yards. Especially one you never fired before.

[kingoftheforest]

It could be at 100 yards without bullets....if you're a legendary football quarterback...

Go long, motherfucker!

Now that's a Frickin hail mary. lol

Hey, my 06 fits nice in my hand! There fore it must be a hand gun!

[darrianation]

SNIPER RIFLE, pick him off before he ever sees me!

So is this hypothetical guy trying to fight us as well? And does he have the same options?

If he has the same options, I'm totally going with the gun thing because there is no way I'd want to fight him if he has a gun and is looking for me and all I've got is my MA training.

[Jace]

Good point. You definitely got me on that one.

Mr. Miagi (the Karate Kid) said, "someone always know more."

I'll take the gun and/or knife, please. If I had to choose between the two weapons and the guy was not armed I'd rather have the knife.

Rex Applegate and WE Fairbairn said that an unarmed man has no certain defense against a knife in close combat.

As far as knife training goes: just check the murder rates with knives by completely untrained people. Generally, stabbing, cutting, and slashing works pretty effectively. It's intuitive and simple like all effective combat methods.

It is interesting that you say that. Think about how far our advances in weapon technology have come. Now think about how OLD knives are. It is pretty impressive that we still use them. That must say something about their functionality.

Obviously the gun, what the hell use is a gun disarm going to be from 10 feet+ away.

Yeah, its nice how the actor was directed to perpetuate bigoted stereotypes.
