But its still good to keep any resource u have. U cant be picky about what u use. Survival and team work are what matters. Lets just shake on that. 👋

Guns aren't superior if you want to decapitate someone silently. Or if you have a grenade launcher in a shed. They are if you are trying to shoot something from 500 yards away. Again, it's all situational. :)

Aiden of Oreland:
Sir Nathan I have to admit I'm an archer myself. I actually was starting my medieval adiction around archery. I signed up for archery in school this year, but I have never had the time to attend sadly. And James, Thats why they have silencers and our military still use knives because a blade is still one of the perfect weapons.

Sir Nate:
Wasn't it in the king phillips war were the advantage the native's had against the colonist was there use of bow's and arrows.
It was just so much faster and more accurate, guns back then couldn't go the distance.
but they all had swords and axes, the colonists had more men though but there were alot of casualties on both sides.

Aiden of Oreland:
Also remember around that time people were just strting to learn guerrilla warfare. Just a few years later we had men with muskets that could shoot great distances and were used to take out leaders and native american guides that lead british through the woods. During the Revolutionary War. Leaving british helpless. Guerrilla war fair beat the british methods of just forming a giant line. Bows were more tactical tho. You may not be surprised, but they Don't teach the history of America to England. And England sees it as a huge loss while we see it the opposite way. Yet we are great allies now.

Yay! I was wondering if someone were going to mention that series of books. Society is thrust back to pre-industrial science - even guns will not function. SCA types and re-enactors literally rule what is left of the world after billions die off.... If you can get past the New-Age stuff, this is a great series for folks like us.
