dispelling Myths about medieval Combat

[NorthernRaider]

I noted a report from a uni, could have possibly been KCL but not sure who pointed out that many recent young male migrants from North and Central Africa place great cultural significence in owning a good sized, panga / machette, its a symbol of status among many gang bangers in Londonistan to have a large blade, where as the same age group from places like central and south America, the West Indies etc place greater status on a gun.
