[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5089405, member: 19675"] While people do survive gunshots daily, if you look at ER & domestic violence stats*, you'll see that gunshots ARE deadlier. Its a lot easier to deliver a fatal blow with a single gunshot than with a single stab or slash. It is [I]especially[/I] a lot easier to kill with a gun if you don't have the muscle mass to deliver a deep stab, or the skill to strike the right place to slash...not to mention the additional advantage of being able to kill from a significantly greater range. But the other point is spot on- tech doesn't perforce replace skill. In many cases, it enhances it. * There was a huge 20+ year study done on domestic violence that pointed out (among other things) that women are far more likely to use a gun than men in domestic violence situations. The reason? The gun is an equalizer in a fight with a stronger, faster opponent. [/QUOTE]
