I'm pretty confident in my speed, particularly over short bursts, and I still do NOT like the idea of bringing a knife to a gun fight. Also gotta account for the muscle memory gun dude has just with drawing his piece. Moving targets are much easier for guns when said target is just a few hairs outside of point blank range.

The shield's gonna stop working the moment a cop flanks them. But if things happen too quickly or the cops fail to get a flank then sword and shield guy has a good chance.
@@bolbyballinger you should also keep in mind that cops would likely keep more distance, maybe call reinforcements, if they see the dude having a ballistic shield too.
Knives are dangerous as hell, there's been a few videos out there of lone police officers getting killed by a guy with a knife. There's a reason why they take any person wielding a potential deadly weapon very seriously.
Any person known to have a potentially deadly weapon, and anyone who isn't cooperative. A lot of deadly weapons are easily concealed, and any suspect or suspicious person has a chance of having one somewhere on their person that they could pull out and assault someone with very quickly. That's why you always keep your hands visible and avoid sudden movements when confronted by authorities. They have no way of knowing how big of a threat you could be, but they do know how quickly nonthreatening can turn into life-threatening and loss of life.
There are videos on this and other sword-channels about the lethality of knives. Dagger is basically the same as a sword, just trading reach for convenience and agility in close combat.
the guy who just stood there and took pepper spray, beanbag shotguns, mace to the face all while staying upright and ready for a fight... have we considered the possibility that he WAS indeed an immortal warrior who's only weakness was handcuffs?

"What happens if a criminal has a gun and you only have a sword" is something only Shad would say. Answer: You say the sword is very expensive and offer it to him along with your wallet. That's how you survive that with a sword.
Gotta admit, I have a twinge of respect for that last guy. Didn't try to hurt anyone, just walked through beanbags and pepper spray and seemingly didn't care all that much, even when the dog got him. Man was completely, wholly confident in his immortality.

One day, as I was going on a walk, a cop pulled up behind me. Apparently somebody had called the police on me for wearing my maille armor and sword (historically accurate, of course) in public. We talked for a little bit, with him asking me why I was wearing that gear. I told him it was because I like wearing it and was trying to toughen myself up to wear it all day at a Ren Faire. He was cool with it, mentioned how one of the other guys in the department was trying his hand at making armor (iron man armor, if I remember correctly), gave me a fist bump and drove off. All this while holding a plastic bag of goodies from a local bakery. So far I've worn my armor around town, in a restaurant or two, to church a few times, and was posted on Facebook by a confused individual. Thank God for the USA, where a weirdo like me can get away with that!
I was driving home from the dojo once, just with my casual clothes but with my sword-bag (all finely concealed) on my back. It was late that evening (about 10pm), and I aproached a traffic light... it was late, no traffic, so I crossed it after carfully looking. Did not See the cops coming up behind me.😅 They stopped me silently (only lights) and informed me, that they will not sue me for this... beeing late and so. They never asked one question about the bag of swords on my back.😂

They are using a Katana because believe it or not, they are way cheaper and way easier to procure than a longsword. In our country, you can get a cheap spring steel katana for around P5000 PHP (USD 100) or even less. You can buy longswords here, but they are rare and cost at least twice as much as the katana.
Cheap stainless steel katanas are just more common as well, I've seen longswords but for every longsword I see that is stupidly cheap I seen 3 or 4 katanas.
My thoughts exactly. There are two major blade shops in the malls around where I live - one of them only sells katanas and the other has like a dozen different katanas at various price points, a couple of mall ninja short swords and a single broadsword.
I got my katana for 40. Its a t10 blade. If you look hard and filter by steel type you find good ones starting at 40. I actually saw mine go on a deal at 35 dollars. Its real t10 with the tungsten. I am actually impressed how front heavy a blade with a distal taper can feel. It was my first sword and I was impressed I got a distal taper even though the holes for the mekugi were diagonal and I had to reshape the beaten mekugi that they forced into the sword along with putting wax inside the handle to make sure it was fully snug and put polyester fiber fill in the saya so smacking it would not have a sword bounce around inside. But overall a super cool sword with its fake gold leather wrap handle. I hope the people who made it get treated well.
5:20 Find a park, sure. But I would ask permission first. The place we train HEMA throughout the year is closed during July and August, so we train in a public park. But we have actually contacted the city council about that for permission. The police are aware that if they are called about people fighting with swords in said park, that there are people there doing so with permission
@@reptiloidmitglied2930 while sure you could. The only reason the city council allowed it, is that not many people go to the park in question on a Tuesday evening after 8 PM. There have been people who would sit on a bench and watch for a while, or approach us when we are drinking some water in between exercises. But we generally just answered their questions. Police did pass by once, but they didn't even approach, they just saw us training, presumably knew we had permission. And left after less than a minute
06:12 ... the officer is trying to do two things here. First, defuse any anger the suspect might have by sympathizing with his need to achieve greatness, and Second, figure out if this guy admits to waving it at people or if he was just swinging it around. The officer admitted he did not hear screaming, but he's going off of several people calling the police reporting he is doing unsafe things while screaming at night (noise ordinance violation at the least, disturbing the peace mid, assault* at the worst) *Assault just means moving a weapon (even a fist) in an aggressive manner where people become scared for their safety. Assault doesn't mean making contact with the person, that is battery.
Great video and I love the sword Darwin award format. I was a cop in the US, and these situations happen, and most of the time, without anyone being seriously hurt.
Coming from someone who got hit in the head with a baseball bat because my brother did not know I was there - Do Not practice with swords in public! Bad things will happen. The fact that this needs to be said is an entirely different issue Edit: I realize I'm preaching to the choir here, and I feel like I should have mentioned that in my original post. Having finished the video now, I have to say I'm actually rather impressed with the guy in Melbourne never swinging the sword. I assume that I'd take a swing out of reflex if someone pepper sprayed me. (No way to be certain without actually being in that situation. I'll take a hard pass and live the uncertainty, lol)
To be fair, America did have Medieval weapons work great at one point. Hand-me-down Polearms used by early colonists fighting against wood/stone weapons beared by natives, but still, Medieval weapons in the Americas.
Video Idea: Actual swordsman vs a moderately competent person with Nerf/airsoft/paintball --- Not a perfect one to one but with various distances, obstacles, etc it could be an interesting idea. Also testing pre-drawn or from holster.
14:30 So tasers are not nearly as effective as we would like to think. So the first big component is it fires two barbs and both need to hit to be effective. This means you can be defeated by a windbreaker getting in the way of the upeer barb depending on thickness gap between clothing and skin and material. additionally if the lower barb does'nt hit the leg, Along with that specific drugs can make people resistant to tasers, reloading a taser takes several seconds, and if the wire breaks (for example sword cuts it in the awkward fall) you can get going again pretty quick
We were trying to drop a guy with tasers, he was so sweaty that even when two barbs did hit, the current simply jumped through the electrolyte on his skin. He kept charging. 😬
The worst part about trying to cut a bullet with a sword, is that even assuming that you manage that, it will barely deflect its 2 halves so you now have 2 half-bullets coming at you at full speed. It's possible it would cause even more damage than had the bullet stayed intact.
@@imperfectlump6070 Well, I doubt the swords these people are buying are top quality swords. Just because steel is stronger than the lead, the blunt impact of the bullet could still snap the sword, even if the bullet gets heavily deformed.
They used to shoot a bullet at the blades in the Forgeg In Fire-show, at least in the episodes I saw no sword ever failed to withstand the bullet hit so not a very hard test.
Fun fact: you can't train to resist taser or just push through it. Taser doesn't rely on pain compliance. Electrical current causes muscles to retract and extend uncontrollably due to electrical current bybapssing current from nerve system. The only situations when functioning taser won't work is when one of the electrodes doesn't connect to the body (gets stuck in the thick body or sth like that)
I'm brazilian and I saw an interview once with a cop that had his hand chopped clean off by a dude with a machete he failed to chack in a corner. I also saw a video (leaked by law enforcement) of a dude who had someone sneak behind them and, avain, cut his leg clean off at the calf level with a machete. Blades are DEADLY in close quarters.
This is amazing and I'm so here for it. I love blades, morning stars, pikes and spears, but bruh... He's got a gun. 6:56 this dude is drunk and likely high. I mean he could be unstable but he has a sword, and his dress just tells me "dude watches to much anime, got to intoxicated".
A few of my friends and I, ranging from a few gun enthusiasts, a couple HEMA practitioners and of course one weeb, actually tested this with gas powered airsoft guns and sparring swords. in the first trial, both opponents started with weapons holstered. Our findings were that within six feet, the sword held advantage about 60% of the time. For every two feet past this threshold, the success rate of the sword drops significantly, down to 30% at eight feet, a little over 12% at ten feet, and virtually no success for the sword past ten feet (there were a couple of 'wins' for the sword, but both times the airsoft gun got caught in the holster). The second trial, both opponents started with weapons drawn. The sword had a little over a 20% success rate at six feet (and usually had to dodge/parry the gun immediately) and NO success beyond that range. The third trial was when both opponents had weapons drawn but met simultaneously rounding a corner. This yielded results heavily in favor of the sword, which our gun nut retired soldier and I attributed more to the mathematics of the weapons themselves. Swords effectively swing over a two-dimensional plane, while guns fire on a straight line. Due to the strike area of the weapons, it was easier for the sword to hit its target than the airsoft pistol. To test this idea, we switched the pistol for an airsoft shotgun, giving the firearm more of a spread, and the results swung back in favor of the firearm, roughly bringing the odds to 40% sword, 60% firearm (there was also a change of tactics for the firearm, as the tester would step back and away from the corner to put more distance between themselves and the sparring sword). We also tested aiming around the corner at the sword user, and the sword had zero successes. The corner blocked the sparring sword's ability to strike effectively, even when trying to reach around the corner in a thrust. Ultimately, our findings with trained individuals were that the sword only fared well in surprise and ambush scenarios against firearms. In virtually every other instance, the firearm was overwhelming superior. Naturally, the weeb argued that if it was Musashi or some other master swordsman the results would be different. The counter argument for this is if you have a shooter of equal skill with a firearm, the results are the same. Ultimately, if the skill level is off balanced in favor of the swordsman, the gun still has the advantage in almost all situations. Also, if you are on the sword side of the testing, you will have a lot of airsoft welts by the end of the sessions...
"He sworded his katana to great attack!" Okay, that's a meme from 2004, but I couldn't resist. That said, katanas seem to infect some people in fandom with a brain-eating pathogen. In my fanfic writing days, a reviewer slammed a story of mine for having a European broadsword as a plot coupon, merely because - and I quote - "Katanas are cooler." I wonder about that reviewer. I hope it was just a phase for them and they didn't, I don't know, grow up to be one of these lunks who literally bring a sword to a gunfight.

Re: the taser. They are only effective about 27% of the time in the US (according to 2019 FBI national stats). About 34% of the time in Canada. It is an extremely unreliable weapon and why it's only usually used while another officer is aiming a firearm as the taser is deployed.. if it fails, you need the lethal option to end it.
7:09 Dionysus is the greek god of wine, madness, revelry and other things. The followers of Dionysus tend to love alcohol, a lot. In ancient Greece they would worship him by holding the most hedonistic parties, they would fill their stomach with food and wine, then purposely vomit it out just to eat and drink all over agin. The worshippers of Dionysus are not the most mentally stable.
I think its important, too, to recognize that it is entirely possible, in a sword vs gun/taser situation, for the person with the gun/taser to miss or fail to stop the sword attacker. Especially when they are that close, a single whiff could cost that cop their limb or their life. Even if the gun has a 99% success rate, discounting the sword is a mistake. 1% chance to die is not something to take lightly. Swords are deadly even in a gun scenario.

Lots of police officers get cut, stabbed, and sometimes un-alived by perpetrators with knives. Knives can be easily concealed, allowing the perpetrator to get so close to the police officer that no defense is possible. A sword isn't so easily concealed, so a sword is a lot less likely to be used effectively against law enforcement. On a somewhat related note, there was an incident near my home a couple of years ago in which a crazy person brought his katana into a donut shop where he swung it around menacingly, smashed a glass display case with it, and walked out. Of course, the police were called, they searched the neighborhood, found the katana-weilding suspect walking down a residential sidewalk holding his katana, and he was arrested without violence.
14:55. This is an interesting question. It is worth noting, after all, that these Darwin winners are complete untrained idiots. Guns are a bit like crossbows. That is to say, any untrained jagoff can pick one up and kill someone. They won't be great with it, for sure but, they will still be lethal. Swords are a completely different matter. To use one with it's full effectiveness/potential requires a significant level of skill. Absolutely dangerous to an unarmed person even if in the hands of a total newb but, not so much against one with a weapon such as a gun (as seen in this video). How effective a talented swordsman could be in similar scenarios is simply a theoretical question. All we can really do is speculate because those who are, indeed, well-trained in such weaponry are not generally the kind of person to lose their shit and go postal. In other words, they have the frame of mind that would prevent them from being in such scenarios in the first place.
About 20 years ago I was a member of the La Trobe University Historical Re-enactment Club. After finishing a session, the instructor/club president were heading back to his car when he was confronted by two thugs armed with large kitchen knives. They demanded he open the duffal bag and hand over whatever was inside. When he opened the bag, he literally pulled out the training sword he owned. The two idiots had enough sense to run away.
teasers also don't fully incapacitate the individual. they hurt like hell but there mostly just scary. They can override muscle control in the areas between the pins of the teaser gun (a tense unit does the same thing)... basically causing your muscles to spasm as they result of the electrical signals literally being highjacked by the electrical current now flowing through your body... however, this doesn't effect your muscles elsewhere in your body... So when the guy hits the ground, its from shock and pain, not from being incapacitated... You can fight through the pain and can still control the rest of your muscles to still do damage if you were determined enough... You would also never passout or blackout from the experience unless from pain which most likely wouldn't happen...
13:58 Yes but how do you defend yourself against someone, or some people, coming at you with a variety fruits? Where is your special anti-banana moves? 14:50 You could test this, in theory, with a squirt gun and some larp swords.

The first guy is obviously mental. He said he was related to Dionysus. That's the fictional god of wine, fruit and fertility and madness. I don't know why he thinks that would make him good with a weapon of a different god. I think he has that madness part down though.
I remember somewhere, some dumb-dumb was waving a sword around, police on a woke leash tried appealing to his feelings for hours in a street… until someone fed up with the traffic got out of their car with a wooden ball bat and knocked the sword about 20 feet away from the guy, who proceeded to just stare in disbelief that his mall ninja prowess wasn’t enough to protect him from a big stick… along with the social workers who realized they no longer had an excuse to keep wasting tax dollars as the also half surprised cops moved in and just tackled the guy. No idea where I saw it anymore, but it was funny as heck. Oh, and the guy with the bat? Rested it on his shoulders, turned, and walked back to his car in the most casual way you can imagine. Police decided not to follow him, on account of him wearing a bright red “Retired USMC Vet” ball cap. Or maybe I just saw it when I was growing up in Vegas? Lot of crazy stuff happened there 20 years ago… geez, that moment I realize I’m fast approaching 34.
"There is no sword-based defense arts" swords are bulky... most people just carry a knife. and to the point of _packing,_ might as well pack something with _range?_ also, swords are doubly (exceedingly) bulky, in this day and age. 300 years ago, you could do a 100 meter sprint in any direction and found yourself in an empty plot of land with plenty of space to duel. today, you make 100 meters in any direction and there STILL people around you!

I'm pretty confident in my speed, particularly over short bursts, and I still do NOT like the idea of bringing a knife to a gun fight. Also gotta account for the muscle memory gun dude has just with drawing his piece. Moving targets are much easier for guns when said target is just a few hairs outside of point blank range.

The important question is. What if they have a sword and a ballistic shield?
It's also funny that it's always swords, sometimes axes and hammers, but you never see spear violence. Spear people are zen.
That’s because the spear violence killers always win, because Stick Good!
You'd always respond with 2 people, so one of them shoots him in the side.
Also, ballistic shields are very heavy, around 20 pounds.
The shield's gonna stop working the moment a cop flanks them.
But if things happen too quickly or the cops fail to get a flank then sword and shield guy has a good chance.
spear gets an F for being handy. Criminals dont like to wear them for self-offense
@@bolbyballinger you should also keep in mind that cops would likely keep more distance, maybe call reinforcements, if they see the dude having a ballistic shield too.

Knives are dangerous as hell, there's been a few videos out there of lone police officers getting killed by a guy with a knife. There's a reason why they take any person wielding a potential deadly weapon very seriously.
The knife wound on my side agrees with you.
I narrowly avoided being paralyzed.
Any person known to have a potentially deadly weapon, and anyone who isn't cooperative. A lot of deadly weapons are easily concealed, and any suspect or suspicious person has a chance of having one somewhere on their person that they could pull out and assault someone with very quickly.
That's why you always keep your hands visible and avoid sudden movements when confronted by authorities. They have no way of knowing how big of a threat you could be, but they do know how quickly nonthreatening can turn into life-threatening and loss of life.
There are videos on this and other sword-channels about the lethality of knives. Dagger is basically the same as a sword, just trading reach for convenience and agility in close combat.
the guy who just stood there and took pepper spray, beanbag shotguns, mace to the face all while staying upright and ready for a fight... have we considered the possibility that he WAS indeed an immortal warrior who's only weakness was handcuffs?

One day, as I was going on a walk, a cop pulled up behind me. Apparently somebody had called the police on me for wearing my maille armor and sword (historically accurate, of course) in public. We talked for a little bit, with him asking me why I was wearing that gear. I told him it was because I like wearing it and was trying to toughen myself up to wear it all day at a Ren Faire. He was cool with it, mentioned how one of the other guys in the department was trying his hand at making armor (iron man armor, if I remember correctly), gave me a fist bump and drove off. All this while holding a plastic bag of goodies from a local bakery. So far I've worn my armor around town, in a restaurant or two, to church a few times, and was posted on Facebook by a confused individual. Thank God for the USA, where a weirdo like me can get away with that!

I was driving home from the dojo once, just with my casual clothes but with my sword-bag (all finely concealed) on my back. It was late that evening (about 10pm), and I aproached a traffic light... it was late, no traffic, so I crossed it after carfully looking.

They stopped me silently (only lights) and informed me, that they will not sue me for this... beeing late and so. They never asked one question about the bag of swords on my back.😂

Tyranth: "Go to a convention, man"
Harsh but true
Moral of the story:
When one is asked, “the gun, or the sword?”, the correct answer is, “yes”… the pirates were right.
the pirates and samurai with guns knew what was up use everything you got your hands on in the best ways
As soon as the samurai learned about guns from trade they instantly went "I'll take your entire stock!".
They are using a Katana because believe it or not, they are way cheaper and way easier to procure than a longsword. In our country, you can get a cheap spring steel katana for around P5000 PHP (USD 100) or even less. You can buy longswords here, but they are rare and cost at least twice as much as the katana.
Cheap stainless steel katanas are just more common as well, I've seen longswords but for every longsword I see that is stupidly cheap I seen 3 or 4 katanas.
My thoughts exactly. There are two major blade shops in the malls around where I live - one of them only sells katanas and the other has like a dozen different katanas at various price points, a couple of mall ninja short swords and a single broadsword.
I got my katana for 40. Its a t10 blade. If you look hard and filter by steel type you find good ones starting at 40. I actually saw mine go on a deal at 35 dollars. Its real t10 with the tungsten.
I am actually impressed how front heavy a blade with a distal taper can feel. It was my first sword and I was impressed I got a distal taper even though the holes for the mekugi were diagonal and I had to reshape the beaten mekugi that they forced into the sword along with putting wax inside the handle to make sure it was fully snug and put polyester fiber fill in the saya so smacking it would not have a sword bounce around inside.
But overall a super cool sword with its fake gold leather wrap handle. I hope the people who made it get treated well.
5:20 Find a park, sure. But I would ask permission first. The place we train HEMA throughout the year is closed during July and August, so we train in a public park. But we have actually contacted the city council about that for permission. The police are aware that if they are called about people fighting with swords in said park, that there are people there doing so with permission
I think if I would do sword practice in a public park I would also make some informative signs for people coming by
@@reptiloidmitglied2930 while sure you could. The only reason the city council allowed it, is that not many people go to the park in question on a Tuesday evening after 8 PM.
There have been people who would sit on a bench and watch for a while, or approach us when we are drinking some water in between exercises. But we generally just answered their questions.
Police did pass by once, but they didn't even approach, they just saw us training, presumably knew we had permission. And left after less than a minute
06:12 ... the officer is trying to do two things here. First, defuse any anger the suspect might have by sympathizing with his need to achieve greatness, and Second, figure out if this guy admits to waving it at people or if he was just swinging it around.
The officer admitted he did not hear screaming, but he's going off of several people calling the police reporting he is doing unsafe things while screaming at night (noise ordinance violation at the least, disturbing the peace mid, assault* at the worst)
*Assault just means moving a weapon (even a fist) in an aggressive manner where people become scared for their safety. Assault doesn't mean making contact with the person, that is battery.
I think some would call the katana an “assault sword”

Edit: I realize I'm preaching to the choir here, and I feel like I should have mentioned that in my original post.
Having finished the video now, I have to say I'm actually rather impressed with the guy in Melbourne never swinging the sword. I assume that I'd take a swing out of reflex if someone pepper sprayed me. (No way to be certain without actually being in that situation. I'll take a hard pass and live the uncertainty, lol)
I imagine the last guy was on some sort of med/drug that both made him act strangely and nulled the pain to allow him to function through all that

Video Idea: Actual swordsman vs a moderately competent person with Nerf/airsoft/paintball --- Not a perfect one to one but with various distances, obstacles, etc it could be an interesting idea. Also testing pre-drawn or from holster.
14:30 So tasers are not nearly as effective as we would like to think. So the first big component is it fires two barbs and both need to hit to be effective. This means you can be defeated by a windbreaker getting in the way of the upeer barb depending on thickness gap between clothing and skin and material. additionally if the lower barb does'nt hit the leg, Along with that specific drugs can make people resistant to tasers, reloading a taser takes several seconds, and if the wire breaks (for example sword cuts it in the awkward fall) you can get going again pretty quick
We were trying to drop a guy with tasers, he was so sweaty that even when two barbs did hit, the current simply jumped through the electrolyte on his skin. He kept charging. 😬
No drug makes you resistant to electrical current.
It shuts the nervous system down. If they make a good connection, there's no resisting the effects.
The worst part about trying to cut a bullet with a sword, is that even assuming that you manage that, it will barely deflect its 2 halves so you now have 2 half-bullets coming at you at full speed. It's possible it would cause even more damage than had the bullet stayed intact.
Also this is assuming the sword doesnt snap from the impact
@@EeveetoUmbreon25highly unlikely. Lead is far softer than steel.
@@imperfectlump6070 Well, I doubt the swords these people are buying are top quality swords. Just because steel is stronger than the lead, the blunt impact of the bullet could still snap the sword, even if the bullet gets heavily deformed.
They used to shoot a bullet at the blades in the Forgeg In Fire-show, at least in the episodes I saw no sword ever failed to withstand the bullet hit so not a very hard test.
Ok so...the saying "don't bring a knife to a gun fight" still applies with a sword aka really long knife haha
"Katanas cause violence".
Great line!!!!
fly out to brandon herrara so you can explore the sword and ballistic shield combo, or even sword and pistol ww1 style.
Fun fact: you can't train to resist taser or just push through it. Taser doesn't rely on pain compliance. Electrical current causes muscles to retract and extend uncontrollably due to electrical current bybapssing current from nerve system. The only situations when functioning taser won't work is when one of the electrodes doesn't connect to the body (gets stuck in the thick body or sth like that)
it doesnt work if there is a higher voltage potential already inside you
Might want to look up meth heads vs tasers

Random bystanders: Visible confusion and fear
At least the neighbors don't have to deal with that bullshit anymore.
A few of my friends and I, ranging from a few gun enthusiasts, a couple HEMA practitioners and of course one weeb, actually tested this with gas powered airsoft guns and sparring swords. in the first trial, both opponents started with weapons holstered. Our findings were that within six feet, the sword held advantage about 60% of the time. For every two feet past this threshold, the success rate of the sword drops significantly, down to 30% at eight feet, a little over 12% at ten feet, and virtually no success for the sword past ten feet (there were a couple of 'wins' for the sword, but both times the airsoft gun got caught in the holster).
The second trial, both opponents started with weapons drawn. The sword had a little over a 20% success rate at six feet (and usually had to dodge/parry the gun immediately) and NO success beyond that range.
The third trial was when both opponents had weapons drawn but met simultaneously rounding a corner. This yielded results heavily in favor of the sword, which our gun nut retired soldier and I attributed more to the mathematics of the weapons themselves. Swords effectively swing over a two-dimensional plane, while guns fire on a straight line. Due to the strike area of the weapons, it was easier for the sword to hit its target than the airsoft pistol.
To test this idea, we switched the pistol for an airsoft shotgun, giving the firearm more of a spread, and the results swung back in favor of the firearm, roughly bringing the odds to 40% sword, 60% firearm (there was also a change of tactics for the firearm, as the tester would step back and away from the corner to put more distance between themselves and the sparring sword). We also tested aiming around the corner at the sword user, and the sword had zero successes. The corner blocked the sparring sword's ability to strike effectively, even when trying to reach around the corner in a thrust.
Ultimately, our findings with trained individuals were that the sword only fared well in surprise and ambush scenarios against firearms. In virtually every other instance, the firearm was overwhelming superior. Naturally, the weeb argued that if it was Musashi or some other master swordsman the results would be different. The counter argument for this is if you have a shooter of equal skill with a firearm, the results are the same. Ultimately, if the skill level is off balanced in favor of the swordsman, the gun still has the advantage in almost all situations. Also, if you are on the sword side of the testing, you will have a lot of airsoft welts by the end of the sessions...

"He sworded his katana to great attack!"
Okay, that's a meme from 2004, but I couldn't resist.
That said, katanas seem to infect some people in fandom with a brain-eating pathogen. In my fanfic writing days, a reviewer slammed a story of mine for having a European broadsword as a plot coupon, merely because - and I quote - "Katanas are cooler." I wonder about that reviewer. I hope it was just a phase for them and they didn't, I don't know, grow up to be one of these lunks who literally bring a sword to a gunfight.

Re: the taser. They are only effective about 27% of the time in the US (according to 2019 FBI national stats). About 34% of the time in Canada. It is an extremely unreliable weapon and why it's only usually used while another officer is aiming a firearm as the taser is deployed.. if it fails, you need the lethal option to end it.

Dionysus is the greek god of wine, madness, revelry and other things.
The followers of Dionysus tend to love alcohol, a lot.
In ancient Greece they would worship him by holding the most hedonistic parties, they would fill their stomach with food and wine, then purposely vomit it out just to eat and drink all over agin.
The worshippers of Dionysus are not the most mentally stable.
Some people screw up so bad they wind up on Donut Operator and Shadiversity.
I think its important, too, to recognize that it is entirely possible, in a sword vs gun/taser situation, for the person with the gun/taser to miss or fail to stop the sword attacker. Especially when they are that close, a single whiff could cost that cop their limb or their life. Even if the gun has a 99% success rate, discounting the sword is a mistake. 1% chance to die is not something to take lightly. Swords are deadly even in a gun scenario.

Lots of police officers get cut, stabbed, and sometimes un-alived by perpetrators with knives. Knives can be easily concealed, allowing the perpetrator to get so close to the police officer that no defense is possible. A sword isn't so easily concealed, so a sword is a lot less likely to be used effectively against law enforcement.
On a somewhat related note, there was an incident near my home a couple of years ago in which a crazy person brought his katana into a donut shop where he swung it around menacingly, smashed a glass display case with it, and walked out. Of course, the police were called, they searched the neighborhood, found the katana-weilding suspect walking down a residential sidewalk holding his katana, and he was arrested without violence.
14:55. This is an interesting question. It is worth noting, after all, that these Darwin winners are complete untrained idiots. Guns are a bit like crossbows. That is to say, any untrained jagoff can pick one up and kill someone. They won't be great with it, for sure but, they will still be lethal. Swords are a completely different matter. To use one with it's full effectiveness/potential requires a significant level of skill. Absolutely dangerous to an unarmed person even if in the hands of a total newb but, not so much against one with a weapon such as a gun (as seen in this video). How effective a talented swordsman could be in similar scenarios is simply a theoretical question. All we can really do is speculate because those who are, indeed, well-trained in such weaponry are not generally the kind of person to lose their shit and go postal. In other words, they have the frame of mind that would prevent them from being in such scenarios in the first place.
About 20 years ago I was a member of the La Trobe University Historical Re-enactment Club. After finishing a session, the instructor/club president were heading back to his car when he was confronted by two thugs armed with large kitchen knives. They demanded he open the duffal bag and hand over whatever was inside. When he opened the bag, he literally pulled out the training sword he owned.
The two idiots had enough sense to run away.
Hello from NY. We love your videos
Impressed enough that all the cops involved were being chill and reasonable... until they were forced to take action.
I'm so glad that the Google overlords have allowed you to educate us with this video.
teasers also don't fully incapacitate the individual. they hurt like hell but there mostly just scary. They can override muscle control in the areas between the pins of the teaser gun (a tense unit does the same thing)... basically causing your muscles to spasm as they result of the electrical signals literally being highjacked by the electrical current now flowing through your body... however, this doesn't effect your muscles elsewhere in your body... So when the guy hits the ground, its from shock and pain, not from being incapacitated... You can fight through the pain and can still control the rest of your muscles to still do damage if you were determined enough... You would also never passout or blackout from the experience unless from pain which most likely wouldn't happen...

I remember somewhere, some dumb-dumb was waving a sword around, police on a woke leash tried appealing to his feelings for hours in a street… until someone fed up with the traffic got out of their car with a wooden ball bat and knocked the sword about 20 feet away from the guy, who proceeded to just stare in disbelief that his mall ninja prowess wasn’t enough to protect him from a big stick… along with the social workers who realized they no longer had an excuse to keep wasting tax dollars as the also half surprised cops moved in and just tackled the guy. No idea where I saw it anymore, but it was funny as heck. Oh, and the guy with the bat? Rested it on his shoulders, turned, and walked back to his car in the most casual way you can imagine. Police decided not to follow him, on account of him wearing a bright red “Retired USMC Vet” ball cap. Or maybe I just saw it when I was growing up in Vegas? Lot of crazy stuff happened there 20 years ago… geez, that moment I realize I’m fast approaching 34.
