[QUOTE=Darth Zenemij]The closest I've ever seen a fox would be on t.v...But of course they are still pretty nice animals.[/QUOTE]My uncle Ted shot a fox with a shotgun, you know how shotgun bullets split into lots of little ones right? Well my cousin (not uncle Ted's son, he doesn't have any children) was standing too close and he got shot and had to go to hospital.

I can't stand guns. Most people that own one don't have the balls to use one however much trash they talk. I prefer swords personally. My aunt promised to get my one but my friends threatened to steal and destroy it if she did for safety sake.

[/QUOTE]Me too, swords look absolutely wicked. I ain't ever going to use one but I reckon I would put one on display, and not one of those one's made for killing, just one with quality stainless steel which sparkles

Wow,How did we get from talking about kinds of animals to gguns,daggers and swords.......LOL i just thought of this Monty python quote

"I'll take s words for 10 alex!"

"Sorry,what?"

"S words for 10!"

"OH SWORDS for ten!"

See, I could get a cheap one at a pawn shop. No, I want a real one, hand forged that I could use given the need to use one. Otherwise, what's the point in having one? I know someone who has ordered a large number to be made with a specific design and shipped to him from Pakistan. Apparently aside from the original model and design work and such, the copies are quite a bit cheaper than I'd have thought. Something along the lines of $14 a piece for a copy. I think it was $2,000 for the intial work before you got into that though. If I had the money, I'd invest in a suit of chainmal and a nice shiny sword to play with. I loved the little chainmail glove I got to use while working in a bakery.

I am not so much of a sword man, I like maces and hammers better, they are more versatle (sp?) and if the are made of metal (or clad in) then you can use them to block with. They also usually last longer than swords, since swords are easier to break.

I hate guns though...

Well, we had to use extremely sharp knives. They made us use the gloves to keep us from slicing our hands open when we were forced to cut things at a really fast pace. The other department that did cooking didn't use them and one of the girls nearly took her finger off with the same knives we used. More than one time I was glad I had the thing on. We'd get pricked if we caught the tip of the knife, but the glove wouldn't let it be more than like getting stabbed with a needle.

A well made sword is actually fairly hard to break when being used properly. I have always liked morning stars though. Nice spikey maces.

Yeltsu · Post by **Yeltsu** » Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:40 am

Yeah, but you can't really bash in a door with a sword now can you?

My favourite has always been "bastard" maces, i.e maces that can be used both with 1 and 2 hands.
