I know? What I meant was they would be using skill to take them out but they'd be really quick, and I'm not a manlet simply for wanting more freedom to do certain things with a sword, let's forget the weight for a moment, it might get in the way with mass when handling with CQC or something, it saves a lot on streangth anyways…

Are you suggesting that we could just 'do science at' a sword to 'make it far bettererererer!'? How, precisely? What sort of improvements are you picturing?
Is this another LARP thread?

Kill yourself. Filtered for shit opinions.
Why didn't you just put this into one post?
I do see a use for swords, but they're short and light. As that britfag said, sword bayonets, which can be used without the gun.
Speaking of the filtered :^) britfag, "manlet detected" is not an argument. Weight is important. Even if a weapon might not feel heavy, every ounce counts.

Maybe we should ditch the medkits, that should give soldiers both guns AND swords.
Benjamin Reed
ditch med kits? why would we have to do that?
Ethan Gonzalez
with a sword it would make CQC far more deadlier, with out the gun attached, maneuverability, reach and strong angles and cuts are better.
Bentley Reyes
also the sword wouldn't be THAT light-weight nor that short, it would be tactical as well.

I think point-focused shorter swords, with a blade length from 50cm to 80cm long, would be the best for modern combat situations. I would personally use a design based on the venerable General Patton's own Model 1913 cavalry sword.
