How often are you fighting in an area large enough to use a sword?
@hippyjoe1955

@Pikachu Sadly no. If you tried you would be shot.
@hippyjoe1955

Meh, i'd still rather have it than not.

@Pikachu When you are a trained soldier let me know.
@hippyjoe1955

When you are a trained swordsman, let me know.
