How piratical is the Longbow and the Longsword in modern combat?

>>33081308
In hand to hand combat, a longsword trumps knife in terms of kinetic energy of the longbow they've got a draw weight of roughly 300 depending if they've been made for the user and correctly.

They could work the bow could easily be upgraded and redesign with armor piecing rounds and explosive heads.

Just imagine firing an arrow that breaks up into smaller arrows that hit the ground.

What you should be saying is imagine a bow like this and the weight that your able to draw.

That's automatically drawn though.

>They were proven by Jack Churchill to be as fordable as the machine gun and pistol.

He got a cheeky kill with one on an unaware krout during a stealth raid. He then immediately reverted to using an actual gun because he wasn't retarded.

i was wondering why they didnt use bows in ww1 with trenches. get the tradjectory right and you can kill quite a few in the other trench, seeing your mate impaled with arrows has got to be more scary than your mate being shot.

Are you retarded? They used plunging fire with machine guns and mortars. Why would they use fucking arrows?

>>33083868
because they had grenades for that. they used slings though.

A long sword means nothing compared to using a katana. There's a reason marine soldiers feared Japanese who deployed such terrifying weapons of honor
