For my next purchase I think I'm gonna have to go with this dumb thing I have no real use for. An elk or bison could charge into my living room, right? When I move to Colorado in January anyway.

I wonder what it's accuracy and effective range is. Looks incredibly rough to shoot.

Looks like about 1.25 - 1.5" at 100yards. Not that great, but good enough for hunting.

I hope no one itt is stupid enough to advocate a knife for self-defense. But I'd agree that a knife has a lot more utility then a gun.

no it's more this:


whereas a gun has pretty limited utility outside of making something less alive than it currently is. can you defend yourself with a knife? sure. should that be your plan A in a life-or-death situation? probably not.

however, if you feel the need to keep a weapon around for home defense or whatever, a decent knife can still provide that function, and it doesn't run the risk of accidentally firing a load of buckshot into your teenage kid who came home late from a party and spooked you.

If you feel the need to get a weapon to defend yourself, get the right tool for the job, a handgun. If you don't feel the need to get a weapon to defend yourself, then don't buy a knife as some half-assed compromise. Buy a knife for it's other utility. Nothing wrong with a good knife for all kinds of things.

Apples to Apples, I have a shotgun for hunting. I didn't buy it to defend myself, I bought it for hunting birds. If I were in a situation where I needed a weapon quickly for some reason, I would certainly use the shotgun, but that was not even on my radar as a possibility when I bought it since I've judged the risk of being attacked and needing a weapon as near-zero. If I was worried about getting attacked suddenly for some reason, then I'd go buy a handgun.
