I think another thing that is often overlooked is the diverse life experiences from people on this board. Many of us, as the old(er) timers would say, "have been to the mountain". Life and death struggles are not mysteries.

Once upon a time, I considered myself quite good with a knife. I have never seen, or heard off, an instant "kill" with a knife. A knife kills by blood loss, which can take minutes, depending on holes inflicted.

I do NOT want to be cut. But IF an attacker gets close enough to cut me, he WILL be dead before me, therefore no longer a threat to my wife, daughter or grand monsters.

Besides, when I have fantasys, they are not about unlikely armed assaults in fanciful situations.
