I think you all know what I prefer more ::)
Swords are cooler than guns by far, even though the latter kills you faster~
It depends on if I can include fictional swords/guns.

Sure..
Bring a Sword to a Gunfight ;) I dare ya.
I pick guns. But only because the Physics Gun is my favorite thing ever.
Gun.
Always bring a gun to a knife fight. ::)
Sword. Vileslay, to be exact.
As the blank canvas is filled with infinite possibilities, so too is the sword.
Gun.
They're cleaner/ more efficient , just as cool imo, and shooting stuff is more fun than cutting stuff in most cases.
A sword makes a better decoration than a gun.
Hmm... both.
Guns don't take expertise. You don't prove anything by shooting besides your impatience.
A swordfight, on the other hand, is a test of skill, and if you succeed at your mortal endeavor, it's because of your awesomeness, not because you can just pull a trigger and aim something in the right direction.
I also believe that just severely injuring someone is enough punishment...gunshots are much more fatal, which is no fun. What are you proving if you can't rub it in the other person's face later?
Lightsaber.
A gun.
I wouldn't want to kill anyone.
But if I had to, it would be nice and quick. :P
I prefer the Sword.

I can agree.
If you cut somebody ...say across there face... that SCAR will be with them
until they die... or practically anywhere else on the body.

they'll just look badass then
If oyu're just out to kill someone, gun.
If you wanna have fun doing it, sword.
I prefer a staff/rod/scepter :3

That is pretty brutal.
If I had to pick a weapon out realistically, I would choose a gun.
If we are doing some kind of cool video game style battle, then I would pick sword.
I couldn't possibly handle a sword in real life. The recoil on a gun would probably hurt my wrist but at least I would be able to use it..

You could use the Gravity Gun to pick up a sword and throw it at them. Then what would you vote for?
Gun

Not true. Any gun takes a lot more skill to shoot accurately in most cases. There's also sniping which takes intelligence, patience, and a whole lot of skill.
Gunfights take a heck of a lot of strategy. Sword fights are awesome no matter what, but gun fights can be just as much of a test of skills.
I can think of many, many ways of severely injuring someone with a gun while still letting them live to 'rub' it in their faces. :P
Swords make you look more badass, in my opinion, but really, a gun just gets everything done quicker.

I was more talking about formal duels in this case, but yes yes I play TF2. Even so, I don't like the shady strategy and stuff that is in modern warfare. Just freaking duke it out in an open field.

Yes, let's throw thousands of years of warfare experience and advanced technology down the drain to fight in an open field.
There's no honor in killing anyone anymore, so you might as well kill them in the cheapest and sneaky way possible.
...Swords since you can block other swords as well as guns and bullets...
...You can just deflect them and you're fine..
Swords are more fun. Guns are meh. Its fun to shoot stuff, but I like cutting stuff more.
This.

Seeing as there isn't a both option, I choose gun, because that way it isn't as easy to be overpowered.Quote from: Zies on August 01, 2008, 10:21:56 PM

But it also depends on the sword. If it's small or thin enough, it probably isn't going to help you.
But it is a good thought, nevertheless.

Sword. I don't see why i would ever need to own a gun (although i wouldn't mind a bow for archery :P), but a sword is cool and could also be a cool decoration

Hm, I would say gun. Sniper to be more exact. Barrett .50cal. But I wouldn't mind with a sword either.
Fwocka.
XD
Sword. It takes a pro to wield. Any amateur can shoot a gun.
Umm...swords dude
Seriously, I mean dont take a sword to a gun fight you'll get intercourse ing owned, no one here is a Gray fox
But swords are so much cooler, and im a great swordsman.
Sword. I just love them.

I say swords simply because I just don't like guns. Plus I've always wanted to give fencing a go.
Swords:
They can be used time over time over time and you don't need to waste space buying ammo, because swords need no ammo. :P
Rifle with bayonet? I WIN.

Swords are better, cause almost anyone can use a gun, it takes true skill to use a sword and its many skills, only skill you need to master with a gun is aim...

(I'm mainly talking about a rifle/ sniper rifle since they're popular.)
Aim, recoil (depending on gun), wind, elevation, moving targets add more challenge, something as small as pulling the trigger incorrectly can screw your shot, humidity can screw a shot, staying calm/ not flinching.
There's a lot more things that go into shooting a rifle than aiming and pulling a trigger.
We all could argue by saying "Anyone can pull a trigger" or "Anyone can swing a sword", buy my point is both weapons take equal amounts of skill. Swords take a lot more hand-eye coordination; long range shooting takes more mental skill.
:D

and the boulder chase wasn't suposed to happen either, they thought of it the last minute because they couldn't think of anything else to throw at him during the exit sequence
In my opinion, guns are way cooler than any darn sword! ;)
I mean think about it, there is a gun that call blow a person in half from over a mile away! Tell me thats not badass!
And there is no real sword that causes an explosion everytime it is swung (and, no gasoline or any fire starter is in the area)

...Also, just mark leave words uncensored in your profile to make the bad words go away...
