The -best- outcome is the one where everybody wakes up the next morning, and says "Wow that was weird." <br /><br />We don't know Sword Guy's intentions or his malfunction. Maybe his bitch girlfriend locked him out, and he's just a bit drunk. Maybe he's -kill everybody!!!- crazy, plus flying on PCP and therefore invincible. Either could be true. We do note that the guy knew enough to run from a rifle, so he can't have been all the way crazy.<br /><br />So yeah, car wins, but gun gives you a much wider continuum of responses. You don't -have- to shoot him.The Phantomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10159748429049446398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15888307.post-85800809521858348312018-08-08T07:31:48.415-04:002018-08-08T07:31:48.415-04:00In most car vs sword and even car vs gun scenario&...In most car vs sword and even car vs gun scenario's the car will win. It's a better weapon offering protection, speed, lot's of kinetic energy and it's reasonably maneuverable. I'd take the car in that fight every time.
