Why are swords "better" than guns?

[SinXxX]

Swords got their hype because of the media. Swords are seen to most of the animes these days than guns. Well, one reason might be because producers are afraid the animes wont sell in international if there are Guns. Some people here in NA still look animes as "for kids" and they don't want guns being displayed on the TVs and stuff, for kids to see. Gun-violence. I know, pretty stupid. I saw some anime got edited because of this ("Hey, that's a gun? Not anymore. its a slinky now!" or "Hey its not a cannon, its a magical blow thingy!").

The only thing I find Swords amusing are the art surrounding it. You know, the moves (martial arts they say) and the designs of the swords. But heck, in killing each other, art is not important.

Swords represents passion, art, prestige and titles.

In a situation of kill or be killed those kinds of things tend to not matter as much.

I probably wouldn't mind owning a sword some time. Actually in my room are my sisters katana and wakazashi as well as my grandpas two cane swords.

Seriously....like Supper Serial... Guns are wat humans attempt to do to get close to God, because u Aim a gun at sumone, U have ther life on the line. Simple as that, a sword.. u have to get close, go the extra mile and put sum muscle into it for a kill. But Bare Hands :D thats a rightous kill right ther, not to mention the fact that its a even match.
guns are cheap, swords are better, bare hands n feet are the best

More work doesn't necessarily mean a better plan. Why spend a week harvesting a field of corn with a scythe when you can get the same work done in a day with a combine harvester?

If you're going to kill or be killed it's a bad idea to put your emphasis on what's most difficult. Just do focus on getting the job done in the most effective manner.

actually a silent kill wiht a sword would be more effective than a combat knife due it's lenght and the combination of movements added to it...but a combat knife would be a nice sub ^^...but i would still prefer a sword or more like a saber

[analogZero]

light saber beats all.

Darth Vaders light saber pwns all. I love red.
