I'd like to know what you guys think of a chisa katana in the right hand, and a hand-gun in the left hand?
Its something that I've been thinking about for a while.

How about the combination of an assault rifle and bayonet? Deadliest hand to hand weapon of the twentieth century.
The pistol in the left hand renders the katana completely obsolete. Apart from posing with, and we all know how important that is

Do you see me posing in pictures thinking that by looking "cool" is a reflection of strength? No.
I thought of it as a differant way to handle enclosed area conditions at first. A hand gun is only as effective as the range between you and the target, and your ability to aim accuratly in the situation. With this you could stave any close combat with the sword. Its just something I thought of.

For what purpose or situation are you expecting to encounter that would require a handgun and a katana for both long and short range combat. Plan to fight terrorists, or ninjas, or terrorist ninjas in your neighborhood any time soon? If you weren't bringing it up because you thought it'd be cool, then you sure as hell weren't bringing it up because you think it'd be practical or realistic.
Nor is it even original. Many militaries have incorporated blades into their training for short range combat, the bayonet and rifle being a "classic" example. Filipino soldiers I think are trained in an arnis like system using a machete like short blade for jungle combat against terrorists even today.

A pistol is a short range weapon...
And I could be wrong on this, but I believe that arnis is the actual name for the art the filipino military use, which is derived from Kali/Escrima

If you train in tactical firearms at all you know 50yards is pushing a handgun's practical aim range. Also If your not using 2 hand to fire your gun its doubtful youll hit anything at all or worse youll be disarmed and it will be used against you.
Katana in general are used with 2 hands. Reguardless of the school of teaching the killing blow always has to use 2 hands. 1 hand does not have the power or angle to be an effective killing stroke and penetrate bone. The push pull motion of the hands forces the grain of the blade to act like a microscopic saw. Hence the cutting power of the katana.
Might as well say im using a Flamberge and a Flamethrower. Whats the perpose of this discussion? Or are we in Zombiepocolypse territory now?
yay i like this topic i choose a road chizzle. its like a solid steel sharp point on one end and a flat chizzle on the other good as a tool or weapon for busting locks or prying doors and sewer lids. And pair that with a bolt breach nato round hunting handgun and a AK74 they use same round.

Don't be stupid. A gun is effective at any range. You get in someone's face when they have a handgun and see how long you last.
Trying to be ambidextrous will ruin accuracy and effectiveness of both weapons. You need both hands to fire properly and you need both hands to swing your sword.
Unless you're tying to copy off Cho Seung Ho and don't give a s**t - because that's honestly what it sounds like.

Gun is only effective if 1 you can get a round off and 2 can get the round to hit the target. Your telling me your shooting a 9mm handgun at 100 yards to hit a target i say bullshit. Conversely if you cant get the gun pointed at your attacker then you cant get a shot off at your attacker.
Military testing for use on handgun range is 25 and 50 yards. The US military stated that the use of handguns in modern warfare is limited and that their use has been dying out for years because it is useless weight except in specific cases (Vehicle Operators and MPs).

In any case, why would you have a katana in one hand if you have a gun? When I said a gun was effective at any range, I meant closer the better. That being said, I'm sure you wouldn't want to stand on the other side of a football field and have a guy shoot an 9mm at you.

DarklingGlory How about the combination of an assault rifle and bayonet? Deadliest hand to hand weapon of the twentieth century. Hence the M'Seru gunblade was born ... ( The only thing better is an M203 instead of a bayonet ... and your enemies at the right distance ... hugging each other in a really tight bunch. ) Soul Fighters Leg Kicks bondage bunnie Gun is only effective if 1 you can get a round off and 2 can get the round to hit the target.

Optical scopes on assault rifles and Sniping Steyrs are for that kind of distance. At a few km away, Arti, mortar, missiles and air strikes are your friends ( and worst enemies. ) Automatic weapons and machine guns are for mid range combat for clusters of idiots. Although I am not really fond of them since they are very inaccurate ( if you spray around like Rambo, you are going to miss a lot of fellows ... ) and if a round get struck in your chamber and you are too slow to react and remove it ... a bunch of fellows would be pointing a lot of laser sights ( those little red dots ) at blank range in front of you. ( Although the coolest thing I saw was someone toning down the gas regulator and using the machine gun like a sniper rifle ... )

Well, unless you are a scout, who needs a blade like a parang ( a silat weapon that was originally used for hacking on plants as well. ) to bash/whack/chop/hack into lots of plants ( although you could slash, stab and hack at hairless ape creatures with it ) and a light firearm like a pistol for traveling quickly.
