wiscotitansfan Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Looks like there has been another fight involving bats and knives. The prior one (ghetto fight) resulted in fatality but hopefully we have some more fatalities to increase the sample size for statistical analysis. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2016/05/09/turkish-fans-brawl-at-wheelchair-basketball-match-in-germany/ OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyitsmeallen Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I would use a bat. Not just any bat either. I'd use a Dimarini cf8 drop 10. The bat speed and superior aluminum would easily break an arm with a knife or crack a skull. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 The truth is real combat is messy, awkward, and unpredictable. It is all about the guy wielding the weapon and not the weapon itself. This is why guys who know what they are doing avoid getting into confrontations because they know that no matter how good you are, one unlucky hit and it's all over. Many years ago I saw a guy kicking the crap out of two guys down on second avenue. Unfortunately for him, he stepped backwards onto a drain and tweaked his knee and went down pretty hard. They proceeded to mess him up pretty bad before the cops got there. When I was in Iraq, the biggest advantage we had in room clearing was training. In close quarters combat most of the time the enemy would curl into a fetal position and fire blindly over their heads because they were scared. The well trained infantry soldiers entered and cleared the room and put well placed controlled pairs into the body from a few feet away exactly as they had trained to do hundreds if not thousands of times for that one moment. We were just as scared as they were if everyone is honest but the difference is the training. GLinks 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you would take the knife because you are probably trained with using a knife and don't have much training wielding a bat? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could give an answer but the truth is I don't know what I would choose and in that particular fight i'm no more qualified than anyone else here. Give me a rifle and a 100 yards and now it's my fight. I feel pretty confident against an equal sized opponent bare handed but I wouldn't want to fight anyone with a knife or a bat if I could avoid it. I think the trained = knife vs untrained = bat is probably as logical of an argument as i've seen on here but the truth is even with equal opponents you could probably have that same fight ten times and five times it would go one way and the other five it would go the other way.

This is kind of how I see it. I personally think people think the bat side is the answer. I don't think it's as easy to disable someone with a bat as people think. Either side is going to come out messy Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe those who are ignorant of the repercussions of what's about to happen, maybe those who are high on some kind of drug, or those who just don't give a fuck about life either way go into it without fear. Hell, even if you have a gun and the other person has a knife there's probably still going to be some uneasiness. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
