dispelling Myths about medieval Combat

[Timelord]

This is why I was trying to express that the UK will be more blade focused PSHTF than gun focused - the opposite of the USA. Some ability in this area with blades larger than average knives would be a wise foresight. Don't forget - it is not just blades. Any hand held weapon that gives a few feet of reach is a formidable opposition, like NR's entrenching shovel etc.
