I belive myself to be a swordsman, having studdied for the last 15 years in a variety of sword styles, and largely agreed with D.C. untill I tried out my new gun on the range last fall- and I can say with experience that any weapon requires skill to use with any effectiveness- Guns are not the point and click interface that hollywood makes them out to be, hence the reason that qualified professional marksmen are in demand always in militaries, and police units. I am a horrible shot, something that I am now working to correct- and I suspect that it will take me no less effort than learning to use my swords efficiently- as to the honor issue, I sell swords for a living, and love them with a passion that may well be unhealthy, but no inanimate object carries with it any more or less honor than the user.
