U might as well just walk around with the Buster Sword lol
shyt I really wonder how life would be if all guns were replaced by Swords/Blades. No coward ass nikkaz talking tough and hiding behind a gun. Just up close and personal shyt
Separate the Real ones from the fake
The Katana, and the Rapier second
I know a spear is better in a duel because of the reach, but you can't easily carry a big ass spear everywhere you go, this is why civilians carried swords and pistols, but didn't walk around with long ass rifles like infantry soldiers
Katana can cut through people with ease anywhere you land
and the rapier because of it's length and speed, you can run people through very quickly
I had to edit this forgot about machete, probably the best answer
If I can't have a spear then it's rapier all day.
