one thing I have learned over the years was to watch out for clowns like this one. kind of weird in a way, but it always seems like basket/ closet kids like this one that turn out to be the nutcases that go on killing sprees and the like. it almost like they want to strike back at the world that does not seem to like them or something (?)
True, but if the sword is real (made from good steel instead of pot metal, and sharpened) and he starts with a bunch of victims in a room where they have to get past him to reach the door, he can do a heck of a lot of damage in those 5 minutes.
You can't tell from looking at it in the scabbard, and probably not even looking at the blade from a distance. Someone making a fake sword will use cheap metal and cheap fragile decorations, not caring that both would be destroyed if you hit hard with the sword. But samurais who could afford it had fancy decorations added to their very real katanas and sheaths.
One of the reasons I lost over 50 pounds and started working out was my son looking at my gun collection and saying "these can't defend you against that which is actually going to kill you". Kids say the damndest things.

He might be deadly for maybe 5 minutes then he'll be gassed out huffing and puffing.

DeleteCan't enlarge the picture, but that sword look more decorative that lethal.

DeleteI don't know........have you seen him fight a chicken?
ReplyDeleteHe looks like Peter from family guy.

ReplyDeleteYes, it's Peter!

When I was fencing, the instructor warned us about letting friends handle our blades; "The untrained with a blade will not do what you expect".

Be careful. He might be well muscled under that sumo suit he's wearing as a disguise.
ReplyDeleteWell muscled? More like well marbled.
DeleteNever bring a sword to a gunfight.
