[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 5767695, member: 6957"] Two samurai are squaring off, neither has a chance to kill the other with that first strike. Humperdink is squaring off against Montoya, he doesn't run - there is no chance that Montoya will kill him with a single strike. Bilbo is not worried about the spiders of Mirkwood - he knows that they can't kill him with a single chomp. Sorry, they really are the same - each of these should be life threatening, on the first strike, none of them are. Why, in the name of cheesy fish shaped crackers, should guns be different? Change all or change none - don't make guns of the period special. They really, really weren't. I love a blackpowder piece, but they were not much more effective than a crossbow - only faster. Join a recreation society - there are plenty in the US. Try blackpowder weapons, shoot some targets, get a feel for them. I am not saying 'look at me! I know more about this than you!' I am saying [i]try it out.[/i] Prove me right, prove me wrong - just try it. :) Who knows, you may enjoy coming home smelling like the Devil's own flatulence. I know that I enjoy myself. Other than New York (which has some very strict gun and weapon laws) most major cities will have at least one recreation group. Check with Universities. England has (or had) the Knights of the Knot, a BCW recreation society. One of the Perry Twins from Games Workshop lost a hand when a cannon blew up. (Wait, that didn't sound fun, did it?) If it sounds like I am recruiting for blackpowder reenactment, well, yeah. :) The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
