Its gotta be swords. Hot many times do you see characters with guns looking totally totally cool...okay maybe quite a few BUT you just got to admit the ones with the sword lo=ok just freaking cool. Plus i always like getting up and personal.

Swords have so much more mystique. Plus they're less scary in a modern sense, considering what damage is done with guns these days.

I assume this is in a fictional world:Swords offers more artistic freedom and has a richer history and lore.

Considering everything, swords suck in the long run. You have to get training so you can at least not hurt you or your allies, and maybe the enemy; you need to know how to properly care for a sword so it doesn't get damaged during care; and swords cannot be used repeatedly over a long time without having to stop and care, which might lead to problems if you have to be on the move with only small periods of rest. Guns, on the other hand, don't require as much care as often, maybe clean the parts time to time; you probably will have extra ammunition depending on the situation; they can be used for extensive times, especially nowadays(Sure, some machine guns jammed up, but I don't think average Joe will own a machine gun); and you'll have longer range then a sword, always(Unless you throw the sword at someone.)

I myself have always loved the Medievil times and thus having a nice sword to wield has always appealed to me more than using a gun. That and I'm terrible at aiming.

Swords and guns can both instill fear in an opponent. Swords take more skill but are admittedly, cooler looking to me, guns are faster and more handy, but often make a whole lot more noise than the silent chink of a sword sliding into flesh. If I had the choice, like the pole, I'd chose both, but when it comes to either or sword. Swords are harder to track than a marked bullet. So many ways a sword can slice to confuse evidence. Swords also need no ammunition. Oii, I am so cold.

Well lately i've just seen Shai posting alot of topics. Anyone going to warn him or is that ok? Topic spamming with just a few titles is really lame. I mean why would you do that? Just for some ROMS? Or just for some cool stuff in the gp store?

in pretty much every rpg game, if swords and guns are both available, swords will more than likely outclass guns in every way except range. plus comboing with just guns doesnt really work

I would love to wield both of those weapons at once..At a glance, it'd be like Dante of Devil My Cry... He wields a sword and a gun..Or maybe like Squall from Final Fantasy 8... He wields a gunblade. Well the "gun" part in the word gunblade in FF8 is useless, cuz it never fires a bullet.. But it changes in The Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children movie... The gunblade that Yazoo wields fires bullets.. I find that somehow wicked.. :santa: :o

swords are way better because they take training and practice. Guns are just point and pull. If you want to be like some crazy marksman you need more training, but not as much as you do with a sword

It's really about which type you prefer. I like swords because i fight close up and you're right it would take training to use a sword properly. but for people who like to stay far away a gun would fit their need better.

Okay, Guns obviously have swords beat(Sadly), but I still say Swords. They're cooler, and they're just.. well, Up in your face gonna kill someone :schmoll: With a gun, you're usuall concealed, hiding behind something... Boring in my opinion, but with a sword... You just charge in taking them all on. One by one they fall to your blade! *Cough*... Right, well.. Maybe that's just me! ...To be honest though, Dual Wielding. Sword in one hand, Gun in the other... >_> That would be wicked.

Slash and hack has my vote! Takes skill to chop your opponent into little cubes in a swordfight...The only skill Gun's need is the ability to use an ironsight or a scope...which are not hard to understand...

In games, I choose guns when I can cause they're long range and I don't get to use them that often.In real life, I'd like a sword cause I'd imagine it's more therapeutic to maul someone with one of those instead of a gun. (I'm probably gonna get caught anyways. Might as well enjoy it.)

Sure you can make quick kills with guns,but where's the fun in that?If you've got enough skill,you can(maybe)block gun shots with swords,so yeah,I pick swords.
