Oh my goodness. LMAO.


Hey Ship I've used the jaws of life before to take the backdoor off a car. Seriously.

Ship....awesome pics. Can I borrow those jaws of life to attack something in the back of my fridge?
Silver surfer... c'mon..up a pic or two. And Cow too! Moooo!
As for rapier combat and agility...
The longer, lighter weapons of the 17th century (think muskateer swords) were designed to strike with the point and at greater distance than the old heavy long swords, short swords, bastard swords, etc. It became a point of skill during competition not to kill the opponent (there was an insurgance of nasty rules about maiming and killing and such by the various Kings--all their 'nobility' were getting their limbs hacked off or their skulls caved in during silly bar-room tiffs) but to leave your mark upon him. Think Zorro and his 'Z' mark. So, Ship, you can bring your jaws of life but you'll only walk away with 'Keekanoo' stitched into your for-head

Anyone can be surprised.... a kid with a home made gasoline light-bulb bomb could take out an M-1Abrams given a bit of luck and good timeing.
The Samuri, though carrying less in weight of body armor than the European traditional Knight (they used hardened leathers, bamboo, etc in their armor, Europeans used steel) is still weighed down by around 40 lbs of extra 'stuff'. Doesn't sound like much but after full combat for several minutes, that kind of weight starts to tell. A good fencer pitted against a good Samuri would win--as long as he can avoid the heavy slashes. Again, the rapier is designed to kill/maim with the tip. If I hold it out straight it extends about 4 1/2 feet from my body (including arm). The Samuri has to close within 2 feet to get a slash in. That gives me 2 feet of impaling distance....
