Well, I mean, sure, you can go with something like that... Or you can make sure they're definitely dead with this:

That, my friends, is an 18.5" short sword mated to a six-shot pinfire revolver, manufactured by LeFaucheux of Paris. Or, if you prefer something with a bit more reach, there's always this Belgian 1866 cavalry saber/pinfire revolver combination:

Storytellers and writers are all gods and goddesses, to a one. Musicians are their host, painters their scribes, and actors their saints--but all arts start with a story to tell.

Vincent's Hall of Blades. Go on; take a peek. You know you want to.

Not as "practical" as the others, but something about it just tickles me.

Maybe you pulled the triggers and fired as a way to more easily get the blade out of your enemy after you stuck them (sure beats the mythological blood groove).

I have a question, the gatling gun is crew served, does the gunner or the crew use the sword? Or they both grip it and charge? Hahaha

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT

blackngold: Dallas is the worst place in the country to fly in and out of. High winds can delay your flight by 6.5 hours and leave you sitting on the tarmac for an additional 2 (ask me how I know)... Oct 31, 2024 2:21:20 GMT
