Inspired from the fight thread: A machete wielder VS a Katana wielder in a duel

[amdguy]

Assume that both person are equally well trained to the max proficiency at their prescribed weapon of choice, the machete and the katana, which person will emerge as the victor?

anyone here in a machete fight before?

 

[bradruth]

I think you mean "machete."

 

[amdguy]

thanks for the spelling corrections

And who the hell would want to fight with a machete? It's designed for hacking foliage, is it not?

in canada, the preferred weapon of choice by most gang is the machete. Almost all of the weaponed (non-firearm) assault in canada is done by the machete

AKA Reason #1 why Canada has less violence.

Yeah seriously, there are two types of fights, fist fights (which can include anything from just fists up to a bar stool or pool stick) and gun fights. Don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Btw the person that wins is the person that hits first, its not the movies, you don't come back from getting sliced from a machete heh.

 

[amdguy]

a few months ago, one guy went around in a neighbour hood with a machete and hacked off a hand or something

 

[bradruth]

Anyway, the Katana guy would win easily.

Katana

You can run out of bullets and miss. You can't run out of Katana even if you do miss. People who underestimate a good knife attack really piss me off. :|

Knives are not a weapon that you make a big deal about. If you're my target and my weapon of choice is a knife, you won't know that I'm there or that I'm a threat until it's already in your neck. And nobody else will be the wiser until I'm already gone. Guns are sloppy, lazy, and cheap.

If two men were to fight with said weapons, the Katana fighter would win, assuming the wielder has been trained to use it properly and it's a properly made katana. If the machete were as long and strong as a katana, then the odds would be significantly more even. But, as it stands, the machete fighter doesn't have a chance (if equally trained).

Wouldn't someone hear YOU rumbling up?

What? I don't understand what you mean.

My weapon of choice is a knife.

 

[amdguy]

indeed, i think gunfights are for wussies.(except for military) what training do you need? nothing..just pull the trigger and bang bang bang....doesn't matter who you hit...

Yeah, but IIRC you're not exactly the same size as your average ninja.

Oh eat my cock you prick. :roll: I'm a lot more agile than most people think. I guess that's to my advantage, though; everyone underestimates me.

Don't get me wrong, guns are great for their uses. However, I'd much rather be up close and personal. I want to get my hands dirty.

If you say so. I'm 6'5" and pretty agile, but I know my limitations. I'm not designed for sneaking, and I can't imagine I would be if I had any more poundage on my frame.

It's awful hard to miss with a sawed-off or submachinegun from close range.

You could say the same thing about a suppressed rifle. Not only would you not know who or what hit you, but I wouldn't even have to get within three football fields to lay you out from a high-rise window.

If two men were to fight with said weapons, the Katana fighter would win, assuming the wielder has been trained to use it properly and it's a properly made katana. If the machete were as long and strong as a katana, then the odds would be significantly more even. But, as it stands, the machete fighter doesn't have a chance (if equally trained).

I'll agree on that. The range advantage of the katana is just too big. It's not exactly easy to conceal, though.

With the right training, you'd be surprised at how nimble and sneaky you could be.
