Also if you dont want the sword to chip use a slashing motion rather then a hacking motion, cuts better and puts the strain along the entire blade rather then just one point.
LOL. Just to be clear: you think that I wasn't using the blade correctly and that's why it chipped? You're kidding right?
An example of a weapon: Hartsfield Katana, an example of garbage: anything by these guys.
The difference is about $10,000.00. And no, my skill in using a blade never entered into the equation when the edges failed. I generally dislike people who bring up swords/katanas/blah blah blah anyway because 99% of them don't know what they're talking about, and the other 1% never bring them up if they are expert enough to use one.
Pick up any mass produced katana and have a go at a beef shank with a good thigh bone in it and see what happens to the edge. I'm sure it wouldn't last more than 5-6 cuts.
But I digress. Nobody that plays Eve carries a firearm these days? I half expected all of Goonswarm to fill this thread with assault rifles and bayonets by now LOL.
Those swords arent the only ones I own you know, I agree they are cheap knockoffs but ive tested them before and never chipped the blade(though I never did the car door test).
What were you testing your katanas on to chip them? While I never tested the things against human bone I have tested them against stuff up to 2-4s before running into trouble. |

In my case, another katana traveling towards my one at high speed (well, probably 15mph I guess), also wielded by a teen screaming as loud as we would while peddling our bikes as fast as we can, in our mock 'joust'. 
It passed the 'can this chop up our old christmas tree' test with no effect to the blade though.

I can honestly say that jousting never crossed my mind when I bought my first sword. |

It's perceptions like this that really surprise me, but I guess the problem is that the only media that makes it to the internet is all of the weird or outrageous stuff.
When I went to my concealed carry class there were people of all races and ages there. Single women, old guys, young girls (21 anyway, the legal limit), boyfriends bringing their girlfriends, women bringing their husbands.
All responsible people. All concerned for their safety and determined to not be a victim. It's annoying that a firearms thread has sort of deteriorated into a second amendment thread/right to self defense thread, but whatever.
Most gun owners aren't some crazy right wing fanatic with a bomb shelter and a half ton of ammo socked away. They're moms and sisters and dads and grandfathers who are responsible citizens. I don't get why people worry about people who legally own firearms lol. It's the drug dealers they should be worried about.
But I digress. Quite frankly I'm surprised that so few Eve players own firearms. Particularly given that the largest subscription block of players are American.
yes, yes, everyone on the media and internet agree that,
everyone who is for gun control is a dirty left wing liberal communist, who have no morals, are atheist, are miserable, are pro-terrorist, are pro-tyranny and anti-freedom etcetc.
The majority of EU is 95% fascists by now, all the people really want to have free guns, but those corporate fascists really give money to the corrupt government and they deny citizens the most righteous right of all.
Everything SU, NGER, did was due to gun control, if everyone had guns, there would be no wars, in fact, everything that is bad is due to stupid gun controllers.
It is impossible to have a good and an enjoyable life when you no one you know has a private gun.

I prefer specific buildyears on some guns because the manufacturers changed parts, mechanics or alloys in the metal to either make it cheaper or more effective.

Bone is very nasty for an edge. Wood (pine 2x4s in particular) are pretty safe when it comes to protecting an edge. Sure, it's more abrasive than flesh, but it's not (literally) rock hard like bone is. Plus due to a long bone's structure (internally) there is a very high chance of the edge biting and then skidding along it's surface, chipping the edge.
If you have a sword you don't mind messing up, get a long bone from an animal (lower/upper leg bones from cattle or swine work just fine) and take a run at it. Secure it extremely well and use proper cutting technique or you can have some very unexpected results. I've seen more than one person cut with their own blade because they were goofing off and the blade deflected into their foot or arm and so on. All that energy with no place to go is a bad thing.

My duty carry is a sig sauer 228. I also personally own a Springfield XD40, Glock 23, as well as a Springfield m14. I'd be lying if I said any of those are currently for any sort of home defense, really...I feel quite safe where I live. But they're definitely fun to shoot and my living circumstances could certainly change. I've gotta say I bought the Glock for the name brand appeal, but I greatly prefer my XD (both are .40)
The m14 is of course a shooter's dream. It has a supermatch barrel and the damn thing is just stupidly consistent and easy to dial in. Makes a "fundamentally sound" shooter (me) look like a trained marksman.

oooooooooooohhhh ok your talking about what we call a 'gun range'(/Dr evil quotation hand gesture), which is a designated safe spot to discharge firearms located far away from populated areas.
The purpose of the 'gun range' is to shoot munitions into targets repeatedly, with the ground being the last object the munition hits. Knobs creek provide excellent hill coverage so the ground can stop the munition after it enters and exits said vehicle.
Now the range is open year long, but what your talking about is a special event that happens about once or twice a year where vendors and enthusiast gather and have a grand ole time. Around where I live we have Blacks creek rd to shoot at and guns shows are held at the fairgrounds about every 3 months.
As for your comments about there being no blacks or mexicans as you obviously think this is a Ku Klux Klan Ho down, there is nothing stating that they are not invited and many do show up each year so you don't have to worry that this is some kind of racist's unite party.
It's downright scary the thoughts that go through peoples heads sometimes after watching a video once on the internet. |

ok maybe the half a ton of ammo is correct bomb shelter is kinda on the edge and i'm pretty sure my family NOR me is crazy and saying we are crazy is kinda ignorant thing to say that only right wing people are crazy. but i also could say that leftists are dumb socialist pigs but that also could be ignorant. and your trying to make it seem like right wing people are crazy insane unstable non-trustworthy people which is 100% wrong |

Um, what? Re-read what I said. "Most gun owners AREN'T some crazy blah blah blah..."
Why do you think I'm disparaging gun owners? Have you not read the entire thread? LOL.

See.. we were too young to actually buy a sword... (crazy uncles friend was required to supply us with stuff like that, and the formula for black powder and the process for removing the fire ******ants from otherwise interesting chemicals) so that was where you went wrong..
Don't have a gun. Will get one when I leave the UK. Don't have a reason for one here, have two 3 year old Ridgeback *****es for home security, and the old swords I suppose.

I'm pretty sure that you also realise that these sorts of quotes originate from people long used to the right (whether it is good or not I shall not contest nor propagate) to bear arms. They are used to reinforce the image that they are 'right' in the same way that a person used to not seeing firearms in his daily life may use other ones to reinforce his own belief that he or she is right.

IIRC if you have a dishonorable or psych discharge from the military, that's considered the equivalent of a felony with regard to firearms ownership, assuming you're not joking, hehe.

i agree, just because mexicans and blacks dont choose to come to those events, white american guys are always labeled racist
i once say a video of one of these events, where they were shooting off all kinds of mounted guns at once, one of the comments was "why are black people never invited to these events? "
someone replied "because the mounted guns dont turn sideways "
i laughed for like an hour
