+1 for the swordplay. I'd love to see that happen.

It would be nice to have a few duel games that you could play in stations against other people for money, and bragging rights.

I imagine that there could be some interesting board games (ala Dejarik from Star Wars).

I'd like to see this.

Using this logic our Airmarshals should be armed with ninja blades and throwing stars (which would be kind of cool, come to think of it).

Instead they use something called Frangible Ammo. It breaks apart rather than going through the outer hull of the craft (in theory anyway, less likely to cause depressurization).


The problem with that is the moment someone puts on kevlar, those things are useless. A knife, however, will still kill you through a bulletproof vest. And it can be excused as a 'tool' where as a gun is very obviously there for one reason.


Scenario:

Person A with a pistol w/ frangible rounds, or person B with a knife and kevlar at say 30 foot range, which would you rather be?

Hint: Stop drills... two in the chest and if he's still standing, one in the face.

Kevlar does not make you invulnerable.
