Punching people with knives is awesome.

I like to punch them with bullets, too.

People who come at me with knives usually get more than punches. Sometimes no punches at all, just sleeper holds.

Here is a question. Would you rather get a random knife wound, or a random bullet wound?

OK so I heard this question on the giantbombcast.

Well it depends on the size of the knife and the size of the bullet, but obviously you have to go with a knife when speaking in generalities. They don't fragment and you are much more likely to survive from a knife wound than a bullet wound.

Kicking people with knives is equally awesome.

A-HA!

What I did not tell you is that the gun is merely a water pistol, while the knife is a huge machete.

OK so I am coming over to your house now. Be ready.

Tough call. On the surface you would think getting stabbed would be "better". But maybe not...

I mean, anyone with a gun can shoot you. Its very impersonal. But for someone to want to stab you...they have to get close. They have to mean it. So if they get into stabbing range they aren't likely to stab you once and walk away. Plus there are small stab wounds and then there are nice long cuts. I saw pics of a cop attacked by a knife. I think he'd rather have been shot.

I don't have any evidence to back it up but I'm guessing more people die from bullets than knives annually (in the US at least).

But I think we are getting off track here. I would really like Bel to demonstrate how he kicks people with knives. This is new to me.

For some reason I started thinking back to that picture when I started reading your post, even before getting to this sentence.

Anyway, I remember seeing that too. That was just vicious.
